About the LG BH100
| Quote: | | But what is a very big deal in my opinion is that the Multi Blue cannot output multichannel PCM over HDMI, period. It does not output the native uncompressed PCM streams, available on many Blu-ray discs, over HDMI. Nor does it transcode the new Dolby or DTS codecs (Dolby Digital+, Dolby TrueHD and/or DTS-HD Master Audio) to multichannel PCM for HDMI output. Other than the Xbox 360, I am not aware of another next-gen player for either format that cannot output multichannel PCM over HDMI. Both 5.1-channel DTS-HD Master Audio and native uncompressed PCM tracks are available, but from the multichannel analog outputs only. |
You could just use the analogs, but you could probably do that with your existing pre/pro...

Is that from one of the original pro reviews? I think things have moved on quite a bit since then. I have a BH200, and it does everything apart from decode DTS MA to LPCM. The BH100 isn't far behind from memory, but there are lots of very good threads on the A site that explain in detail.

A new firmware update just came out for the LG BH100, i have not done it yet but it might add the HD DTS master audio form the analog outs and possibly HDMI, it now does most audio formats from what some with HDMI recievers have said, and Yes the BH 200 is awesome too!
