Panasonic BD60 Audio Question - Blu-ray Forum

dagvc37 · 10-02-2009, 01:11 AM

If the answer to this question is good then I'm gonna but this player. I have an old school Sony receiver that just has front and rear speakers, just a simple 4 channel set-up.

Nowadays Blu-ray audio just goes through the HDMI. The back of the player only has an optional 2 channel output. I'm wondering if I can do the picture from the blu ray to the TV, and then do the audio with just a simple red and white cable into the receiver?

I have that set-up with my xbox360 and it works fine, just wondering if it would work with this player.

Thanks!

I havnt done it myself, but if the outputs are there, they can be used. Probably have to change a setting somewhere on the player.. but yeah it can be done.

Yes, you can set it up that way. No problem.

The BD60 also has digital optical out if your receiver can take it. You'll get the same 2-channel lossless that you would with 2-RCA, so there's plenty of options for you.

It is a great unit. I have one and mine is connected HDMI, but it does do optical and RCA, with optical being the better, more audio choices, option.
