This is definitely not correct. Everything must be authenticated to the source for EDID/HDCP or the source doesn't send the data. I think you are confusing the encryption and copy protection process.
Huh? I'm not certain why you are talking about authentication? I am referring only to the encryption. I fully understand that the AVR communicates with the source for authentication of downstream devices. However, authentication has no bearing on my point.
Perhaps if you could point out a specific aspect of my post that is not correct, that would help resolve this.
