Re: What is the best Blu-ray player available now?


And this concerning the PS3's decoding capabilities:
Quote:
Channels that can be used for output - HDMI - 7.1 Ch.

*1 A device compatible with Linear PCM 7.1. Ch. is required to output 7.1 Ch. audio from the HDMI OUT connector.

*2 The system does not support output from DTS-HD 7.1 Ch. DTS-HD 7.1 Ch. audio is output from 5.1 or a lower channel.

** Dolby TrueHD can still be decoded inside the PS3 and sent as uncompressed audio to the AV receiver, but if the AV receiver has an integrated decoder it can't be used instead of the PS3's decoder. **

** This was confirmed by a Sony representative.**

You will be mapped. Resistance is futile.
