Recently I have ugraded some of the stuff in my lounge, so now have spare equipment to set up in the bedroom.
Previously I used a PS3 as my bluray player with an optical cable running to an older Denon 3200 Dolby Digital receiver. The PS3 was set to bitstream/mix and my receiver was able to still play dts blurays in 5.1 Dolby, even though the receiver had no dts capabilities.
My question is that now I am going to buy a new bluray player that will be connected to the same older receiver what will I need to continue getting 5.1 sound. I have noticed that the cheaper players only have 2.0 dts output while the better players have dts master audio outpit.I will still be using the optical socket for connection purposes.
The player I'm currently looking at is the Samsung BD-F7500 which comes with both dolby/dts 7.1 output with dts HD bitsteam output. Will this machine work in the same way with my receiver and play back discs in 5.1 or is this something that only certain machines like the Ps3 are capable of doing?
Sorry I'm not the most tech savy when it comes to bluray, I stopped reading Home Cinema mags before bluray came out. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I go out and buy a machine and end up with 2 channel stereo lol
