I think it would be cheaper to upgrade your receiver to one that does all the decoding for you.


I have an HDMI 1.3 reciever that decodes DTS-MA and THD. the problem is getting the data to the reciever (for DTS this requires a bitstreaming player)

damnit...so the PS3 really isn't a viable option as far as movies go then.

followup question: what's the cheapest player out there (new or used) that will bitstream TrueHD and DTS-HD:MA to the reciever without compressing/downgrading it.


Samsung BD-P1400 $299

I do not think the samsung willdecode or bitstream any of the hd formats.

I think dolby true hd and dts HD are downgraded to plain jane dolby and dts sound.

that is why I think that samsung player stinks, it can not play HD sound formats

The Pioneer 95 FD also.

I didn't look too hard at the 1400 because there were so many negitive posts at AVS in regards to it. A lot of folks sold both their Pioneer and Samsung and bought the Panasonic.

You may want to wait and pick up the Panasonic BD 50 that will be shipping real soon. It will be profile 2.0, and as a side effect, the BD 30 price will most likely drop.

I can see where there may be some bad things with the sammy 1400. I have had it completely shut it self off when i pressed Pause, and sometimes the screen will flicker for a sec at the begining of the movie. Sometimes the load times are really bad. But I think alot of the complaints were people unaware that you really need to keep up with the firmware updates. The audio and video is excellent. I do think its a kind of buggy player, but I hope with more updates it will be fixed. But for $300 blu-ray its not a bad deal.

I think *every* Bluray player out there has some problems. I understand Panasonic players have some LFE issues. My 1400 has been pretty much flawless. It did have issues with Live Free or Die Hard at 24FPS, but when I turned that option off, it was fine. Since my TV doesn't officially support 24Hz, that could be an issue as well (and I'm pretty sure Samsung's FW was a bit buggy). I think a lot of people have issues with their receivers to tell you the truth.
