Any news about new DD/DTS upgrade on HDDVD?

Actually analog outputs wont work. The internal ability to decode Hi Rez multi channel audio is clearly not present in any of the introduced soon to be introduced players.

This has been discussed in detail within the past two weeks.

Essentially, because HDMI 1.3 doesnt exist anywhere yet on devices there are major compatibility issues at eaxch step- DVD player, Receiver, and display.

My only comment is that the Hi Def DVDs being released are supposed to have Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 also as options and they should sound the same as SD dvd soundtracks.

I have never had a complaint about the quality of current DVD soundtracks and really find them pretty enjoyable.

I look forward to the day/year etc when HDMI 1.3 connects/chipsets are present on all devices,,,...until then I am just gonnan hang out a bit and enjoy what I have...

EARs, in line 4 you meant to use the word " coaxial" instead of analog 3rd word from the end I think. I am only pointing this out so others dont get confused.

Ears- I dont disagree with anything you are saying. But the Blue Ray players are going to have their own set of issues the first time out as well. They will be different. But there will be issues....
