Is Dolby True HD and DTS HD only available via HDMI, i.e. not through the 5.1 co-axial analogue outputs?
Had a PS3 in my system, watching a couple of Blu-Ray movies, but thought i might buy a Blu-ray player instead because I wanted the next gen audio formats as well as the HD pq.
I assumed that because the Blu-ray players have built in Dolby True HD and DTS HD decoders I could let the Blu-ray player decode the audio and output it through the 5.1 analogue outputs. This way I can get the new sound formats without having to change my AV processor, simply by feeding the 5.1 outputs from the Blu-ray player into the 5.1 inputs on the A/V processor.
I heard today that this won't work and Dolby True HD and DTS HD are only available through the HDMI outputs.
If this is the case I'll go ahead and buy a PS3.
Can someone give me a definitive answer on the above please?
