Need some advice buying a BDP - Blu-ray Forum

nate4241 · 09-05-2007, 11:59 PM

Hey guys,

Our family bought the Sony KDS-R70XBR2 TV about two months ago. We also bought a Sony ES 5200 AV receiver with Definitive Mythos Speakers for 5.1 Surround. The receiver I bought just before Sony announced the new 5300 receiver supporting dolby truHD and DTS HD. I won a free Sony BDP player during a raffle at work a few weeks ago, but Im considering buying a high end BDP for my home theater system. What would you guys recommend? I prefer Sony products, but thats just me, I understand there is the new BDP 500 and ES BDP coming out. Do you guys think I should just use my free player despite the problems (loading time, hdmi 1.1..etc) or do you think I should upgrade? Also far as the receiver goes, do you think I should go through the trouble to return it and upgrade to the 5300 es for dolby tru HD sound...in other words...is there that much of a noticeable difference?

It seems like you have already done some homework. Maybe wait untill you can actually go see the new players and get the full specs.
