Life's getting complicated.....
Before my new Blu-Ray and AV Receiver, life were simpler with my HTIB... always choose DTS. Now? Got Uncompressed PCM la, DTS MA la, DTS HD, Dolby HD, PLII Movie, Neo ,THX, etc..etc.. Due to old habit, I still look for DTS where possible, Dolby being the next. But what about this "Uncompressed 5.1 PCM"? Any noticeable performance? Am I missing anything? What's your preference? |

QUOTE(mpyw @ Sep 22 2008, 03:36 PM) if you have decent speakers and those AVR capable of handling HD audio, the differences are obvious. Even my wife notice the different. Thanks mpyw. For sure I'd go for HD. But the Uncompressed 5.1 PCM - is it better or lesser than the HD? |

Still pening...
 Between BD30 and SR875, who'd do better job on decoding? My guess is SR875, but again.... Will need to try all the mentioned settings above. |

QUOTE(mikapoh @ Sep 25 2008, 02:57 PM) I cant afford to transform my HD ready tv to full HD since I just bought it I have HD Ready TV too. PQ with BD source is already much better!  But then if I taking the first step into buying BD player, my HD ready 42' panny plasma can still look much closer to full HD tv if not 100% rite?? What about the audio, can my LG box in one sounds better if connect BD player to it via optical cable. Like u ppl suggest, amp will come in later.  (.... I wonder how much greater will be with Full HD... )So, if you just bought your HD Ready TV, don't worry, can still enjoy super PQ BD source. I had Pioneer HTIB which I connect my BD with Optical. I did not hear much differences between DVD or BD source. But, upgrading HTIB to separate AVR+speakers suddenly the whole watching movie experience becomes WOW!!!   |
