TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

No.

There's no 5.1 analogue outputs which I'd probably need for my Arcam AVR350 receiver to get highest resolution audio, although if I looked into it it 'may' be possible to get uncompressed PCM via the digital output.

That's a side issue though, as for me to buy ANY BluRay player it would have to outperform the upsampling Denon DVD5910CI I currently use, and for many months now I've been wondering exactly how a decent BluRay or HD-DVD player would compare to it on a 42" or 50" screen.

As luck would have it, in this month's 'Home Cinema Choice' magazine a reader's system article explains that this particular reader bought a PS3 and compared the BluRay of X-men to the DVD upsampled on the Denon and in his opinion the DVD was superior so the PS3 is now resigned to being a games console.

That being said, the PS3 appears to be excellent value for what it is and if I didn't have the Denon I might be tempted, but does it have a decent remote or do you have to use the joypad?


Best Regards,
