Beosystem 3 as Audio Receiver ONLY

Setup:

I have Beolab 1 as front speakers, Beolab 7.1 as center, Beolab 2 as sub and Beolab 6000 and 4000 as rear speaker in 7.1 setup connected to a Samsung KS8000 65" SUHD TV 

Question:

With recent 4k resolution in video processing, I am inclined towards using my ONKYO receiver ( details at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004V8KWQO/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )

for video processing and relying on the Beosystem 3 for just the Audio.

Is this possible, if so what would be the best way to accomplish this. I have HDMI out in my ONKYO - see image below
