This is a sort of re- post as the answers were limited before 

Does anyone use blue ray- or indeed are they interested!

But I have hope as we have THREE pages on bending a powerlink lead! so there is life out there- in some form!

 

What blue ray players are you using with BS3/bv9/4 We have had one comment saying platstation 3 looked amazing- but this has blue tooth remote only ,and one with reference to the Panasonic BD10 which gets very bad reviews elsewhere and although 12months old is regarded as slow with poor qualities.and with the new sound formats how does BS3 cope with this???

 

Is there anyone serious here? that can answer the questions or provide some advice- beyond - it looks amazing

ie does BS3......................

Accept LPCM audio over HDMI  or support anything beyond DD 5.1?? via HDMI or SPDF . In other words if the player were to decode the audio format what does the BS3 do with it??

Lots of info about Blueray there.

Yes I know! but gthe question is how BS3 handles these issues and no one on AV forums will know that- hence asking the question here!!

BTW. you can get a IR remote for PS3, Lintronic has one but I'm sure you can find it any ware. And then BS3 can control it.

The BS3 does support LPCM 5.1 & 7.1 over hdmi, and does go well beyond DD5.1. Most bluray discs have an uncompressed LPCM 5.1 track, I have played many bluray discs on my playstation 3 which is connected to my BS3 with hdmi. When I use the uncompressed lpcm 5.1 track I get way better sound. In terms of sound data I can see from the playstation that about 10 times more sound data is transferred than the dd5.1 track.

Thankyou for this response.

 

Do i take it that you just operate the PS3 using the bluetooth as it cant be operated via beo4/5??

have you the 40gb or 60gb version?  some comments refer to the fact that the sound on PS3 is not as good as a stand alone player- can you comment on this?

 Would you say the sound is superior to B&O standard dvd in 5.1??

 

regards

Hi,

the PlayStation 3 has been added to the Beo5 config tool, not sure if this helps with future questions. Not sure how this will work as I dont think it has been added to the PUC list so it can be added to the Bsys 3.

The sound quality is much better than my DVD1 produces in dd5.1. I have the 60gb version. I havnt compared a ps3 to a standalone player, i would be surprised however if there is much difference.

Cheers
