Secondly, as you have a 568.2 you most probably have some very good power amps (if they have balanced inputs its even better). I would really recommend you get one of these to replace your 568 for next-gen movie formats.

Those are pretty bold statements.

Although I have nothing against Panasonic to say they are the only choice is silly.

Why do you assume he has power amps with a 568.2. There are many a folk that have DSP speakers or may wish to in the future.

Onkyo !! What you hanging around here trying to buy cheap 568's you looking to get his 568 on the cheap or trying to push prices down further.

I'd sit tight on the processor for bit.

Most BD players have tradeoffs. Some are cheap and will get you by for the next year until something comes along better. There is no one player that's the best for everyone.

right: firstly

the BDP50 is the only player with profile 2.0
it is also one of the few that can bitstream every single audio codec available

thirdly it has the Sigma SMP8634 RevC decoder with an adaptive deinterlacer (AND GUESS WHAT ITS THE ONLY Bluray player without the crap NEC deinterlacer chip) and 3:2 pulldown. This is only second to Reon's HQV in upsampling sdDVDs, and considered among many to be the best for native 1080p.


(for comparison sony bdp-s300 is profile 1.0 , cannot bitstream, and has the now dated Sigma SMP8634 RevA + Nec chip combo)

You seem to know a lot about Meridian, but very little about image processing hence i see your statements as being BOLD.

And besides the Onkyo is a professional/custom installer product, which is currently the only pre-pro on the market to support HDMI 1.3a in full.


I dont really care about his 568, and i dont care about your childish comments.

Take care

p.s. which part of "replace your 568 for next-gen movie formats" did you not get? i never suggested the onkyo should be used for anytning other than lossless codecs and video switching.
