One more thing: this articles states that it is only important to have HDMI 1.3 at both ends when you use bistream. When you use Multichannel PCM (sound decoded in the player), then you just need HDMI 1.1 or higher. Alright, the article does not say the latter, but you can find this information in many other articles at this subject.

Hi 355f, Interesting article from Ultimate AVmagasine. They say the following in the article: Until it's proven otherwise, we'll come down on the side that argues that the all-digital process of converting TrueHD or DTS-HD MA to multichannel PCM digital involves no sonic compromises. This is what I have been said through different posts at this

Hi soundproof, What you are writing about PCM-downconversion regarding Panasonic BD50 will also be for Sony S-500 and Sony S-550. I have read those manuals my self. So we have to be satisfied with 48 khz. But BR-titles which are mastered in 96khz will in fact sound more dynamic than BR-titles mastered in 48 kzh, even if all output from the player is

Okey, suddenly people at other international A/V forums is incorrect about this subject and people at B&O-forum knows how all this with HD-sounds works(!?). Please read my links to Dolby-homepage ( www.dolby.com ) and DTS-homepage ( www.dts.com ) and read about this subject. They describe this in detail how all this works. To the question: Should

The mail I got from B&O regarding this will not say that BS3 will output HD-audio. It will say that it handle Multichannel PCM to all 6 channels. If we know how all this works, then this information will be enough. I will see if can find the e-mail I got from B&O. Even if I dont find this mail, I have no reason to lie about this subject and

Please 355f: I have not just read "a few internet articles". I have "spoken" to alot of people who really know this things at different international A/V-forums. I have read about 40-50 articles written by proffesionals. Please take that into notice. At those proffesional A/V-forums I have visited,the proffesional people there totally

Guys, I have a Panasonic BD50 and know how it works. With BD50 you can decode HD-sound as Multichannel PCM, through both HDMI-cable and analog-outs (just read the manual for the player).So thats why we can use this fantastic machine with BS3 and then we have a very nice setup with already decoded HD-sound!!!!!!

B&O have confirmed to me by e-mail that BS3 support up to 96khz-24bit at all channels. (I dont think of how it would be if it supported just 2 channel at 96khz and the rest of the channels at 48 khz). That would be very odd. Even if BS3 just support 48 khz you will get HD-sound, because almost all BR-titles are recorded in 48 khz and not 96 khz

Moxxey: There are alot more people at this forum who agree with Raslaw about this subject. I have also (like Raslaw) read alot of A/V-articles about how the new HD-audio works ALL the way (from the BR-record to the speakers). According to my opinion, all that Raslaw is saying about this subject is correct. In this subject you really CAN talk about right

Moxxey: The problem with you is that you dont understand how the process of the sound works when we are talking about internal decoding in the player, Multichannel PCM and Bitstream and so on. If you understood what I am writing then you should not have the problem om reading my English. Maybe I spell som words wrong but I know what I am writing. There
