Re: Blu-ray 7.1?????


first of all you would need a 7.1 channel receiver (and I see that you do) to get 7.1 from the BluRay player and yes the newer players support 7.1 DTS HD witch seems to be the audio format of choice through HDMI some of the older BluRay players downmix the 7.1 to 5.1 for example the Samsung BD P1400 supports it.
I should also add the the player must be HDMI 1.3 compliant in order to pass the newest TrueHD and DTS HD audio.

Onkyo TXSR805 receiver, Samson Servo 4120 bridged @240wattsX2, 2-Mission 765 Mains, 4-762i's Surrounds, SVS PB13 Ultra, AR center PSC25,
