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


Hi,
I'm new in these parts and am attempting to research Blu-ray players.
I am leaning toward the Panasonic just mentioned and I could even wait until next year when the 50 comes out.
I had a question from something you posted-
"Its a bitstream player for high rez audio, meaning that you'll need a receiver that can decode the Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio. The PS3 and the BD50 will internally decode the audio and pass as PCM."
What does PCM stand for? You say the bd50 will "internally" decode the audio-does that mean I don't need to worry about my receiver?
Obviously that's what I'm getting at. My receiver has a dts setting but I'm not sure what "master audio"means.
Thanks for your help-Abby
