Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Finaly plunged into the Blu

Just got a Pioneer BDP-51FD player a few hours ago. Going to give it a spin tonight with The Dark Knight.

For the moment I will have to be content with 1080i and DD5.1 because my TV is an 8 year old CRT with no HDMI, just component, which according to the player docs will only go as high as 1080i, not "p".. And my pre-pro does not have HDMI either, so until I get a set of analog cables, I will have to "settle" for regular DD5.1 sound..But, there is a very high likelyhood that I will pick up a 52" Samsung LCD tv in a few weeks so that will resolve my " video " issue :-) ..

Looking forward to it.. never had any HD in the house before..

I will post my impressions of the player once I get intimate with it :-)
