Blu Ray Player


Hi all!

I am new to the blu ray world. I just bought a receiver that has DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD. So does that mean if I buy a blu ray player, it needs to have DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD built in decoder as well? I just want to find a blu ray player that will handle DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD for my receiver.

Also, when I buy a blu ray movies, do I need to make sure that it has DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD?

Also, what are some good quality blu ray players? I was looking at brands like:

- Samsung
- Sony
- Pioneer
- Philips
- Magnavox
- Panasonic
- Sharp
- LG

Thanks for any advice!!!

Well, for sure, I won't be buying a VHS tape player. HA HA HA

Maybe for now, I want to get a blu ray player. I kinda want to hear the DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD. I heard it sounds far way better than the regular DVD players on DTS. That way, I am moving forward and get the 1080p TV later.

Since I have a Samsung TV, I was looking at the Samsung BD-P3600. I was also looking at the Phillips BDP7200. They both seems to look pretty cool and got the DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD sounds I am looking for.

All the players out there today seems to be shorter and shorter in height and weigh so light. They don't built them like a tank anymore. I have a Sony DVP-S9000ES universal player and it's 5 inches high and weighs at 27 pounds! I use my DVP-S9000ES as my SACD player and now I want get just a blu ray player.
Regarding companies making dvd players thinner and lighter is to cut cost I believe. I think it all about marketing.

However, it's not the same when you pick up a heavy dvd player and you know it's built solid all around. They don't make them like they use to. To me, these new thinner and lighter weight styling makes them looks cheap like a portable walkman. Some of these new blu ray players are only an inch tall and weighs only a few pounds. I am wondering if people are buying empty boxes.
i didn't mean it like that my freind. i may have offered my opinion improperly, mr. ray. i was just trying to support what mr. reynolds was saying. from what i have read many are happy with the oppo.
