TrueHD sound

[admin_exported]

hi anyone!

i think i have confused myself just recently and could do with some clarification. i am thinking of buying the Onkyo sr605 surround amp, but do i have to buy a certain type of DVD player to get the most of it? i read something in the december issue that made me think that i will NOT get TrueHD sound unless my dvd player is also capable of producing it regardless of my amp - is this true? - will i only get it if i buy blu-ray or HD DVD?

thanks

Neil

That is indeed the case - the new HD sound formats (Dolby True HD and DTS Master HD) - are only available on Blu-ray and HD DVD discs.

damn - the decisions just go on and on! i was trying to avoid the blu-ray/HD decision for a while yet until they had sorted themselves out, so now back to Sony dvd recorder vs denon dvd vs blu-ray/hd.....

thanks for clarifying though

Well, you could just buy the receiver confident in the knowledge that when you do decide to make the leap into HD disc formats it'll be ready for you...
