Razlaw: Puncher: Speaking purely as an interested, innocent bystander I think it is now clear that the BS3 cannot decode HD audio from Blueray players, but it does seem to accept an already decoded PCM stream from a suitably equipped player. The oustanding question, and it would seem the centre of the disagreement, is what resolution and sample-rate

Razlaw: So, the Blu-Ray player, the BV7 input and output all say the same thing, multichannel PCM, so the question is, To further complicate matters though, I get 'multichannel PCM' on the BV7 when viewing an SD DVD through the PS3. My PS3 is set to 'PCM' rather than bitstream.

One thing that does frustrate me with Beoworld is that I know for a fact that both dealers and B&O UK watch and read posts on this board, but will not reply or leave an official response. I do wish that someone from the company would come on here and say "this is the official line", rather than going through a dealer or responding to press

Razlaw: Read Martin's post from about 20 minutes before yours for instance. He indicates he spoke to an engineer at B and O. I seem to remember a similiar ealier in this thread. Also, my dealer has confirmed it to me. Dealers confirm a lot of things, but it doesn't mean it's the official line. Sales people can get carried away and/or assume

martin01: Moxxey: The problem with you is that you dont understand how the process of the sound works.. You do make me smile. Yes, I don't understand at all. I only both studied this at University and work in IT press. I understand exactly what is supported and what isn't supported. I also know you've contradicted yourself on various occasions

martin01: Moxxey, how many times should I say to you the following: Beosystem 3 DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY to decode DolbyTrue HD and DTS-HD. But it has the ability to recieve already decoded sound from the Bluray-player as Multichannel PCM. How hard is it to understand this??? /Martin Martin, either your English can be poor or you are simply very confusing

martin01: I have talked to one B&O engineer (in Struer) who says that BS3 support and can handle 96khz/24bit and he says that it also handle Multichannel PCM. So obviosly different people at B&O says different things. Ok, I'm going to go back to B&O and quote you on this. I'll see how they respond. If an engineer in Struer has given

Razlaw: So we have different anonymous sources connected to B and O, some say yes, some say no. Who has said that B&O have said 'yes'? Could you give me this quote please? ie. show me some info. Everything I've read here indicates that B&O say that it does not support True HD or any HD audio. They told me this directly and so did

martin01: regarding the word "codec": What I mean with this (and other guys at other AV-forums) is a short name for the new Dolby True HD and DTS-HD sound-formats. Don´t misunderstand this expression as to be something else, like software in the BS3 or Software in the Bluray-player. Martin, I understand perfectly what you mean. I work

Martin, it's not just as simple as including a software codec. If it was this easy, then B&O would have issued a similar statement as they did when someone asked about 24fps support, stating they were working on a solution. A codec is a software solution. Maybe you have read many articles, but I trust B&O, the official statement and their
