Topic: PS3 as a blu-ray player

[Mouldingo]

Sony has just released the V2.35 Firmware for the PS3. Resolves some gaming issues but not the DTS-HD MA 7.1 bug with some BD titles...

[jan_kristopher]

Dolby TrueHD capable ang PS3, diba? Bakit kaya sa 300 na BD hindi ko marinig yung difference between DD 5.1 vs. Dolby TrueHD? I mean, lumakas lang ng konti yung tunog, pero anlayo compared sa uncompressed PCM na option. If I understood it correctly, set dapat sa linear PCM ang PS3 para decoded na bago ibato sa receiver, so in effect tunog uncompressed PCM narin dapat yung Dolby TrueHD, diba?

I don't have a True HD & DTS-HD MA receiver(yet), what exactly is the problem with the DTS-MA?

You don't need a HD receiver but a receiver that can handle LPCM will do as PS3 has internal decoding for True HD & DTS-HD MA

For the DTS-HD MA problem, it's mentioned a few pages ealier or u can check it here:

^bro pchin, so in this case how should we set the avr to handle the decoded signals from the ps3? so the avr will just display it as LPCM in the display?

[john5479]

^ yup, if you have an hdmi receiver that is capable of handling 5.1 up LPCM thats the way to do it.

^ah ok bro so no chance parin sa regular avr ko? dapat hdmi talaga? hehe

Tnx bro...I forgot to include the key word: HDMI receiver.

You also forgot to add 7.1 channels, not 5.1... But if you'd rather not change your non-HDMI reciever and is still considering the PS3, there is the upcoming Panasonic BD-50. It also decodes internally DTS-HD MA, but has 7.1 analogue outputs instead of HDMI.

hmmm...hehe dami talaga kelangan sa upgrades dami gastos hehe

Really!? I'm still happy with my Yamaha RXV-1300, it has a 6.1 input.  I'm wondering if it will sound the same or at least close compare to using a receiver with HDMI 7.1 input???

just a question:
updating PS3 can be done thru a USB flash drive.
how about downloading and installing demo games, is it possible through a USB flash drive also?
i dont have a fast internet connection, thats why i ask.
TIA

Panasonic BD50 has only 5.1 analog output but 7.1 HDMI output...

Actually there's no "7.1 HDMI" term. In general, HDMI can support up to 7.1 channels depending on the audio encoded in the disc.

steelcrazy, since you already own a PS3 (it has the latest profile 2.0 BD-LIVE) you are good to go to enjoy all the latest features offered by Blu-ray movies.

true enough but i dont really have the proper avr and speakers to fully enjoy the lastest technology being offered nowadays still have to wait a couple of years maybe to experience it.

No worry....as long as you have a HDTV to take advantage of the great resolution you can still use your existing 5.1 audio setup to enjoy your movie experience. Upgrading is part & parcel of this HT hobby...SARS

Ano difference ng 2.35 firmware ng PS3 sa 2.30? Not really paying attention to the differences.
Kasi if I don't upgrade can't go online to play.
