    I have found one Digital Media Player (link given below) that says - "Dolby True HD (Passthrough & Decoding)".

    Code:
    http://www.amkette.com/product.jsp?id=139
    So what does this "Passthrough" and "Decoding" means?

    Also if I have connect my TV with regular LR audio jack, shall I be able to hear audio from my TV when I shall play files with TrueHD audio in it?

    Passthrough means an audio stream is sent via HDMI or SPDIF to a receiver for decoding. Or you can send the stream directly to a HDTV via HDMI. Most HDTV sets will decode he stream to stereo only.

    If you don't have a 5.1 receiver or your TV can't take HDMI in, then the player can decode the audio stream to analog L & R stereo.
