Anybody own a Sony BDP S2000ES? - Blu-ray Forum

link_of_hyrule · 03-31-2009, 01:37 AM

Can anybody tell me if this machine has codec for DTS HD Master Audio?? I have heard conflicting reports (I don't have a new receiver, so cannot tell by looking at receiver display - am using player decoder). Initially I think NO, then I contacted Sony customer support and they say YES, so now I'm not sure. Was it included in a firmware update?
(wish I researched more prior to purchasing this machine - slow slow slow... and did I mention SLOW?!)

S2000es does NOT decode DTSMA. It will do Dolby TrueHD though.

(my BDP-S1 is very slow also....par for the course with the first batch of players in a new format though.But..my S-350 is pretty quick though.)

the manual states it supports dts-hd, no mention of dts ma and i only saw one firmware update on the support pages dated 1-28-09 for bd java and burned bd's. still no mention of dts ma.
