Tuned out to the whole 4k thing as I dont like LED. I think im soon going to be after a new 1080p Blu ray Player though.

I notice these days that Dolby and DTS logos arent on players anymore. Is it just a given now that they all decode the two sound formats and output as LPCM over HDMI?

Am i right in thinking that Atmos and Dts X will just play as Dolby True HD and DTS MA if i only have a 5.1 speaker set up?

1. Correct. All of the widely manufactured blu-ray players can and do decode Dolby and DTS lossless codecs. Or you can send the audio signal via bitstream to your receiver for decoding

2. Yes. It usually plays the next lower level of lossless. For instance I am running a 5.1 set up right now, but my receiver converts Atmos signal from the UHD player to TrueHD or DTS-Master for sound output.
