Blu-ray player with built in decoding - Blu-ray Forum

Elwood4u · 01-22-2008, 09:01 PM

Hey all,

I'm looking to purchase a blu ray player but would like to find a player that has basically all built in decoders, up to and including Master Audio tracks. My AVR only has HDMI 1.2 so i won't be able to stream audio over that so i most likely need to have a player do the decoding and digital to analog conversion. Then simply use the 5.1 analog input on my receiver to get the uncompressed audio track. So far I have found very few players that has these capabilities for under 700, any suggestions?

Or perhaps wait until 2.0 and most likely there will be more players out on the market with built in decoding rather than streaming over hdmi 1.3

If CE announcements are any indication, the Panasonic BD50 that is supposed to be shipping soon will be the first. It's supposed to be BD Live (Profile 2.0) compliant too.

*crosses fingers*

Their CES announce mentioned that it would be priced slightly higher than the BD30 which lists MSRP as $499.
