Hello,
Would appreciate a bit of general advice if anyone can guide me.
Am just about to purchase a small (22" ish) TV as a supplement to a projector, for watching more mundane programmes and for the other half to use. When I get BluRay player I would like to connect it to both devices via a splitter, (for use at different times).
Connection to projector is via an amp which takes 7.1 LPCM, but TV would be just stereo. Wondered if there was a standard way to approach this so that it isn't necessary to change the audio configuration in the BD player to suite the device being viewed? Basically I'd like to be able to just turn on the player and play a disk regardless of display device.
Does the player detect the capabilities of the receiver and adjust the audio output, (BDPS370 manual says auto mode will detect capabilities but think this might be just LPCM or bitstream), or will a stereo display generally downmix the channels to get stereo? Or is it just specific to each TV / player?
Also wondered if anyone had a view on how important 24Hz support is on small TVs? Limited chance to demo the sets, and wondered if it made much difference on smaller ones or of there would be serious judder?
Any advice much appreciated.
