Should I trade my BDP-S300 for a Panasonic DMP BD 30 ? - Blu-ray Forum

rox addict · 03-11-2008, 05:35 AM

I am very happy with the picture of the Sony BDP-S300 and can live with the download times but with my receiver not having HDMI I need a BD player that will decode True HD lossless audio. It seems like the Panny has an edge on the Sony, any suggestions ? Thanks !!

Snowman I would wait but I have 2 weeks to decide if I wnat to keep the 300 or trade it in. If I want a BD player then I need to decide. I was thinking about upgrading to The 500 or even a PS3 as well but I'm just not sure

The BD30 does not have an onboard decoder.

EDIT: Obviously I mean no onboard decoder for Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HDMA, etc. It can do plain vanilla Dolby Digital and DTS and will downconvert the high-def codecs accordingly.

Thanks James....Its a little misleading where the panny states " decodes uncompressed lossless audio," but I just found out what that means, thanks

Panasonic is coming out with the DMP-BD50. Profile 2.0 decodes everything internally.
