I would assume the tv would do all the 3d work and the receiver does the 3d audio only.

Am I right in my thinking or can someone explain it to me?

I'm thinking about buying a projector when the lamp in my tv blows out (DLP HDTV). Just something about playing Battlefield on a 20 foot screen entices me.
3DTV specifically refers to the video, and no, you wouldn't be able to use your existing receiver unless you run HDMI direct to the TV and run the audio using TOSlink/digital coax to your receiver. In the case of Blu-ray, this means you won't get the best possible audio track included on disc.

You already have 3D audio - it's called surround sound.
