Well, I see the responses to my question were deleted by Amazon, my question was: Does this 3D, BD player support 7.1 DTS True HD decoding (output):

the short answer is Yes but the equipment it is connected to would have to support it. i would suggest hdmi for audio and video

Yes. Make sure your receiver or TV is capable of it. I am using Pioneer Elite VSX-70 receiver and it is decoding DTS 7.1 and Dolby TrueHD. If you think your TV or receiver does not support these signal, you can downstream it to PCM (uncompressed) on audio settings.

If you are asking if it decodes 7.1 DTS and has 8 discrete outputs for the total of 8 channels, then the answer is no. I don't know of any BD player that does this. Maybe one of the very expensive players does. Just look at a picture of the back - does it have outputs for 8 channels.

I just downloaded the latest firmware update from the samsung website to a flash drive and went through the steps to update the BD player. Now, I'm having the same problems that everyone is reporting - it won't play a Blueray disc. It get's stuck in the "load" mode. It will, however, play a DVD without a problem. So, like many others before me, I will be taking it back to the store. Samsung wanted me to send it to them, but I don't think I'm going down that nightmare road.

did you find a way to get it to work, cuz when i asked samsung they said 3-d ready doesnt mean 3-d blu ray?--- i asked and thats what i got i want to get a 3d blu ray player and i already have the ir emitter and glasses that works through the computer but only with pics, small clips and games, and dvds-- but have to download a bunch of crap to make it work. let me know if the starter kit and player works?

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.

If credible = lossless HD audio tracks, then YES via the BD55's 7.1 analog outs. NO via the digital coax or optical outs - you'll only get the fallback lossy DD and DTS tracks (higher bitrate than DVD, but still NOT HD) to be decoded by your Yamaha AVR. BTW, wait for the DMP-BD80 coming in March '09, as current pricing for the now discontinued BD55 is completely ridiculous...

I have a Canon HF 200, and have been trying to find some way to play my HD files on the BD-60. So far, no luck. I've emailed and called customer service to ask what formats are supported - waste of time.The customer rep said this was only available on the BD-80 (despite what the manual states)Good luck.

This one has HDMI 1.3 instead of 1.2, and supports DTS 5.1. The older one you have doesn't natively decode DTS. It's only passthru. Those are the major differences I know about.

My unit don't even work DEAD on arrival. look elsewhere.I think the 3d media units only support 1080p in side by side. Ask the question in AVS forums.

Several years ago (2010?) HDCP became mandatory for player output of HD video and that requires HDMI. Therefore, no relatively recent BD player can do what you want. The only solution would be an external box that supports HDMI w/HDCP and outputs RGB. I suggest you go to a forum such as "AVS Forum" and ask for advice in the CRT projector sub-forum. Those guys have/had to deal with the same issue.PS. There used to be a converter box available from the Far East that was referred to as a "Moome" box, don't know whether it's still available or if there's something else. Several years ago (2010?)

no, just don't use the bitstream output from the ps3, use linear pcm and you'll get dts-hd and dolby truehd from the receiver, the ps3 will decode the audio just fine.

Hi Shaune Lewis,This was the kind of solution I was looking from a long time and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience thro' this post.I have a Sony BDP S-570 Bluray player which says it is 3D ready and a Viewsonic PJD 6531w 3D ready DLP projector...But I am not able to play a 3D bluray disc (christmas Carol 3D) with this setup from my Sony BD player... Could you please suggest the best option to bridge the gap b/w my Sony BD player BDP S570 and Viewsonic Projector PJD 6531w..?Thanks for your time in responding to the post...

Does the bx2 decode DTS-HD MA? The difference I found was the 360 says DTS-HD MA essential and the bx2 says DTS-HD MA advanced digital out meaning that it might not have the decoders built in. Please let me know.

No, almost no media players could fully support BD menu. HD680 can well support BD ISO or BDMV. It can play the movie, but no menu.

I have since received the cd-rom from Panasonic to upgrade my DMP-BD35 blue-ray player and that solved the problem. It is now properly upgraded with the Version.7 firmware upgrade. If there are others having a similar problem upgrading their firmware, contact Panasonic.
