If you've updated your player's firmware, it will decode Dolby True HD:

Even if not, you can always bitstream audio for your Onkyo receiver to decode it in the true format.
You just have to connect your Sony to your Onkyo with an HDMI cable. The Onkyo then connects to your TV with another HDMI cable.
