hi guys,
i just wanna ask, how significant is the Profile 2.0 on a BD player? its just giving u access to live content on a BD disc right? nothing to do with the PQ & SQ of the player itself..am i right to say that? If i'm not bothered with live-contents etc, then, a profile 1.1 shud be sufficient?
another thing is, Pioneer BDP-51FD doesn't have on board DTS-HD Master Audio decoding..
1) if my AVR is able to decode the above-mentioned, then the fact that the BD player itself doesn't do the decoding dun really matter?
2) Any significant difference between decoding the DTS-HS MA onboard on the player & letting the AVR do the decoding?
3) How do one 'update' the firmware (if its available from Pioneer) onto the BD player since it doesn't come with Ethernet port or internet connection?
reason i'm asking is got good offer for the Pioneer unit...mayb will consider it since Panny new BD player (BD35, BD55, BD60, BD80)is still N/A here...
thanks!!
Profile 2.0 is only for BD Live no PQ or AQ differences. Yes 1.1 shd be enuf if u don't care abt BD Live
1. No does not matter
2. Theoretically no, but based on many people listening, they prefer if the AVR does the decoding
3. Normally by burning the update on a DVD or CD.
