blu-ray players that actually decode HD and new formats to analog outs

i love my Sony BDP-550. It decodes the new blu-ray audio formats and passes the audio via analog outputs. I was looking for another blu-ray with analog out for an older TV that takes 1080i only. I noticed a panasonic model BD-30 for 229. The salesman told me that it did not have built-in decoding for high-resolution audio formats which made that player unsuitable since my receiver does not decode those formats. So other than the panasonic BD-55 and Sony BDP-550, do any other less $$$ decode and pass analog ? thnks, Howell Schisler

Why not just get a second BDP-550 ?

  Thanks for the chart. I was curious since with a 2nd tv that only goes to 1080i, I was interested in the info in your table. Seemed like another 550 was overkill. Howell Schisler
