Hi guy's, i'm looking to purchase a new blu ray player that is going to be a noticeable step up from my old PS3, no longer into games so picture quality and enhanced audio is important. I am considering Sony 360, Panny80 or the Pioneer 51fd [only issue with pioneer is disc loading times]. I realise these will all be a step up in picture quality, but for some reason i'm finding myself hung up over audio issues. As my current receiver has no HDMI inputs, would my new blu ray purchase offer me any more in terms of audio, ie multi-channel audio out over digital coax or optical out, at least until i can upgrade my receiver.
Which brings me to my next question, does both my new blu ray purchase and potential new receiver have to be able to decode HD audio formats or just one of them, does it matter which ?. I'm told the receiver should deal with audio decoding.
Many thanx from a frustrated newbie.
