What does this mean and if I purchased the Panasonic would I need to know all this stuff to keep up with new releases of BDs?
Thanks, Ally
I think it is bitstream out that is meant here as far as it is the receiver that does the decoding job (just like DVD players send raw data that need a DD or DTS decoder to do the job).
Actually in HD more player do the decoding job and send it as PCM to the receiver but they do not send raw bitstream. But the panasonic offers to bitstream out as well for a receiver to do the job.
