Connection to Blu-Ray Player - 07/01/07 12:34 AM
Well, I finally got off the fence and bought a Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S300. I'm struggling with some Best Buy advice, I thought I would consult some real experts.
I want to get the benefit of the higher resolution audio standards Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD. My salesperson at Best Buy said I could use an optical cable from the Blu-Ray to my Outlaw 990, but I thought I would need to use the analog connections. I already have analog connections from my Denon DVD player (which also plays SACD and DVD-Audio, and I figured I would need another set for TrueHD. Am I correct, or is Best Buy correct?
Best Buy's second recommendation was to run a video cable directly from the Blu-Ray to the TV instead of running it through the 990. Any comments on that notion -- good or bad?
Thanks for your help.
