| entry level bluray? Thanks, Chadnliz. Great to know. Count on it. Lynne | |

| entry level bluray? Thanks, guys. It's embarrassing to be this ignorant. I'd like to think I know a little about audio. But you have made this point very clear to me. Lynne | |
| entry level bluray? Ok, Dave. What is the purpose of the multi-channel outputs and the HDMI? Sorry to be so ignorant. I'm trying to catch up. |
