Sony BDP-S2000ES Blue-ray question

According to the owners manual:

Bitstream Dolby HD, DTS HD, etc via HDMI

WILL NOT bitstream regular Dolby Digital and DTS via HDMI (it must come through using the digital output or via the 5.1 analogue outputs.)

The HDMI will pass analogue HD audio signals also.

The digital out will not do the new audio formats. I know of no machine that will do it.

For all the information, you can go to www.sony.com and look at the full owners manual.

If you look at the specifications page of your owners manual, you will see that it DOES bitstream DTS HD, Dolby Digital True HD, etc over HDMI.
The older BDPS1, which this player is based, did not bitstream over HDMI. However, with the latest firmware upgrade, it would decode and send it as a PCM signal over HDMI or out of the analogue outputs. The 2000ES solved this problem.

Ckoffend, No that's not what I said. The 2000es WILL bit stream the new formats over HDMI. {The OLDER BDPS1 will NOT bitstream HD sound.} The new 2000es will bitstream the sound as well as 1080P resolution over HDMI. My last statement was the 2000es solved this by doing both.

The BDPS1 will only transmit PCM decoded sound over HDMI as well as 1080P video. The early players would not detect the new formats which the firmware 3.7 solved for this player (and it ouputs HD sound over its analogue outputs.)

Sorry for the confusion of mentioning 2 different players (even though they look just alike!!!!)
