No 50 gig titles? Just a Dream? Blu-Ray HAS them!!! The 7.1 uncompressed audio, is it via analog outputs or through HDMI?

That was a press release skillfully written by the Walt Disney Corporation markteting department and published by Widescreen Review Online. It appears here, curtesy of M. Dillon who is a subsidiary of the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) and has been instructed to, (without having the rights over such article) reproduce such article here in order to influence readers to buy their players in detriment of HD-DVD players. HD-DVD does not act in such way. HD-DVD gives you choice.

un-believable Circuit city pulled the a3 from their best seller list. The A20 is down around 30 or so. They're definitely pro bluray!

Does that also include the whole 1080p thing as well? Some blu ray players HDMI outs only display 1080i, if we have the 1080p tv will it automatically convert it and display it in full 1080p??

I'd like to know the same thing. I own the computer but have not gotten it to play a blu-ray movie. ??!!

Thanks for the update. I ended up buying the LG BD570 Network Blu-ray Disc Player after all my investigations and it has turned out to be a great device.I hardly use it for disc playback though, but it's nice to know that the option is there.

I got an extremely good deal on the 550, I paid for the 550 brand new ($319; amazon/free 2 day shipping) and it only cost me $20 more than the 350 ($299 at wal-mart). I have no problems with the 550 at all. It's played every blu ray I've put in it.

Could you please be more specific? What if I just go straight from the blu-ray player to my Sony Bravia with a HDMI cable? How does the receiver enter into the mix? I am not seeing any upscaling either.

Alright, thanks for answering! I think I'll have to get a hdmi to vga converter to at least have the picture in HD then buy a bluray player later on.

This DVD Blu Ray only has HDMI connection. I wish too I could connect older Bose Surround Sound system. But it has no red or white audio connectors either.

Seems bizarre that they would discontinue BOTH of their Blu-ray players at the same time (unless there was something defective??). But at $699, they may as well discontinue the 55. That price is ridiculous! Maybe their new models will come out before March/April?

Go to Audio/sound..Uncheck dolby digital and use normal audio. This WILL solve your problem, but you must do it for every movie you watch. I got a refund for this problem, but got to keep the blue ray. Small price for a good product :))

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

Sorry, only 1 HDMI output. Composite is a little outdated, so you probably won't be finding it on most of your Blue Ray players.

William: Since you've had the 9040 for a week now, could you please be more specific and give us some details about what you have experienced? Does it do a great job of upscaling non-hd material to 1080p? I plan on buying one, but need to hear from someone how it performs when hooked up to an HDTV and/or Home theater system.? I would appreciate any additional information you can provide so I can learn a little more prior to pulling the trigger on this a/v receiver. Thank a lot William.

Using optical from cable box, sounds like tv has a stereo signal cable box i have has no sound at all via HDMI i think the tv would pass it thru if it were available. oh optical is into philips 5.1 blu ray system always on to opti in or fm radio tuner.

My receiver does not have HDMI and no HD audio. What I do is connect HDMI from the A-400 to my Tv directly and audio to the receiver through optical cable. 7.1 audio is amazing. Like I said, check the A-400 forum for HD audio. It is a huge resource of practical information.I use the A-400 with a 80" 3D TV and I still can't believe how great it looks.The only reason I don't buy one more is because the iPad browser works so well that I can browse my movies, ratings etc from anywhere, pick what I want to see and then manually select that movie on any of my old media players.

I connected a Blu Ray players HDMI output to the H6510BD's HDMI input. The video was projected on the screen, The H6510BD sent analogue audio to the 3.5mm audio output jack which I connected to some active PC speakers. I have connected my blu ray player's HDMI output to a 7.1 channel home theater receiver the receiver sent the 7.1 audio to the audio speakers and the HDMI video to the H6510BD. I was never able to get anything beyond standard 2 channel analogue audio from the 3.5 mm audio out jack.
