I can't imagine for one nanosecond that it doesn't, but I will check for certain.

Page 65 of the manual if you can find it online.

DVD will play : LPCM,D.Digital,DTS and MPEG in various forms from digital outputs and multi analogue connections.

So no worries

It will output all the formats including normal DD 5.1 and DTS from both formats

ok thanks guys,

now i just need to decide which blue ray player to get for my dad sony 550 or panasonic 35,

i had my eyes on the sony ,but when i called richersounds to get bit more info they recommended the panasonic 35 as apprentley it has a better picture as it can handle horizontal lines better with out jagged edges! (cant afford the panasonic 55 so thats out of the question)

They are just pushing the model that will make them the most money. The S550 is superb and looks great too - unlike the Pana.

The Sony BDP-S550 is the better one by all the reviews. I auditioned both and got the Sony. It is a fantastic player for both picture and sound.
