QUOTE(aiman04 @ Dec 20 2008, 08:11 PM) That's right Yed. When we bitstream the audio, which player you use doesn't matter anymore. It will then depend on your receiver. Personally, I haven't seen the Pioneer in action too.
Added on December 20, 2008, 8:13 pmNot sure, he has both players to compare. From my own comparison with the PS3, my BD35 looked a little bit better. Mind tricks? Doesn't matter, it makes me happy.

Added on December 21, 2008, 6:47 pmQUOTE(Goneraz @ Dec 21 2008, 01:42 PM) since we are int he topic of bitstream vs pcm, so if a player can decode dts-hd/dolby digital hd and signal send as PCm then it does'nt matter wether your avr can decode dts-hd or dolby hd right? you will still get lossless audio?
Added on December 21, 2008, 1:43 pmoh yea i thought ps3 also can send bitstream signal. while you are watching the movie press the triangle button, you can choose bitstream from the menu. Eh, I've post about this too may times already. PS3 can't bitstream lossless audio codecs, If you send bitstream for DTS-HD MA/Dolby TrueHD, only the core tracks DTS/Dolby Digital will be sent to the receiver. Try it, then press display on PS3 remote to see the info, and also check on your receiver, it will only say normal DTS/Dolby Digital. As a PS3 owner, I thought you should already know this.

QUOTE(ar188 @ Dec 21 2008, 06:12 AM) probably holds true for video comparison as well.. maybe have to set to full potential of the BD, like output HDMI via 1080p24 (original BD signal) to see if any difference between the 2 players.. I wonder how BD-35 vs S350 is how? (in video quality aspect) there's an user's review on cnet where the person purchased both the S350 and BD35 and overall he/she said BD35 trumped S350 in both aspects. the link to that is somewhere on this thread. |

I think he meant to ask if the new firmware update will include support for BD Profile 2.0. The player was originally shipped with BD Profile 1.1. |
