Having jumped into the Blu ray world with this new year, I too am excited with the great PQ and SQ I am getting. It's like an entire new workd has opened. Now what would really sweeten things up is if the BR discs became cheaper.

I would recommed the Pana BD55 having recently bought one. Its performance is great and especially the analog outputs help me a lot since my rceiver is non HDMI. With your setup looks like that is not the issue, so BD35 is an equally good choice. But as the previous post mentions, weirdly it is...

I do not have any of your devices, but based on the specifications I read, you have two ways to get audio from BD35 to the receiver... 1) Use a Optical cable which is used for digital audio from the "DIGITAL AUDIO" connection behind your BD35 to the Optical input behind your JVC receiver...

Will keep BD55 I ve decided to keep BD55 and not try out the BD 35. This is mainly due to the reason that I ran audio tests using Coax versus Analog on the BD55 itself. I am pretty amazed at what output I get from the 6 channels in BD55. I ve read many threads and agree that bass management is...

Agree on the BRs PQ, the only deterrent...the price of BRs. I am sure that will adjust over time. One question...if I am to stick with the old non hdmi receiver for another year or so and if I go for BD35, would I use the 2 channel output or the optical for audio? I guess optical would be the...

Similar situation here...would love to know what is the best set up for a BD Player (BD55K in my case) with a non HDMI receiver for audio. I am sending the video directly via HDMI to my PJ.

Thanks Billy. I will plan on doing that. Incidentally I decided to try out the analog output just a few minutes ago. I was able to fish out some old RCA cables, plugged them in, checked the connections properly and then started the movie....No sound! After re-checking the connections...

Got the BD55 last this past Friday. Played Batman Begins BR on it. Had it running in 15 minutes from the time I got the package inside the house, so all features were factory setting. First impressions are: 1. Clear and definite improvement from standard DVD even though my PJ is just 720p...

I was not aware of the fixed crossover in BD55. That's an interesting point and makes sense why I may not want to use Analogs out from the player to the receiver. And if that is the case, then it makes sense to go with BD35 and invest the difference in a receiver. And nope...I do not have...

Thanks guys. Looks like there is some known and unknown. In the grand scheme of things, it may be the safest bet to go with best capability on both ends (based on affordability of course) I will plan for BD55 for now.

Thanks for that insight. If I understand correctly... - The main difference between BD35 and BD55 is the hi-def audio quality which is supported through the 7.1 analog outs. - Analog (using 7.1 out in BD55) is better than digital (using co-ax in BD35) but the "drop off", which I guess...

I've decided to take the Blu plunge. Did research over the past few weeks and have finalized Panasonic brand. The dilemma...BD55 or BD35? As I understand, the BD55 has the following extra features, all others being the same... 1. DivX 2. 7.1 Analog 3. Coaxial output I am trying to...

Some examples of MBE in case anyone wants to run more tests... 1. Matrix (when Morpheus shows matrix for the first time and scene is with a complete white background) 2. Harry Potter & Chamber of secrets (chapter 2, when Harry enters his room and the elf is jumping on his bed. Look at the...

Thanks Joe. I definitely see that there isnt a "final, ultimatum" on one over the other. The reasons are pretty understandable too. For my setup, I have gone ahead and ordered the 35ft RG6 cable. FYI...I have been using the 6ft Phillips PXT1000 component cables bought from *allmart and its...

Wouldnt it also depend on the display? THe OP does not mention what kind of display is being used. The 980H has S-Video, Composite, Component and HDMI output for video. So it pretty much can hook up with any TV or monitor or PJ. I had used 981HD with its HDMI output connected to my Optoma HD70...

Thanks to all for the inputs. I more or less understand that RG6 is the way to go from a long term perspective (if I ever intend to use the same cable for Sat etc) I think I am ready to get the RG6 component cable. THe question lingering in my mind is that whether this will create any issues...

Garcia, I had contacted the Oppo support and they recommended some settings which did not work. I also calibrated using Avia dvd and it still dot help. I have heard that this issue is with certain types of displays. Though not exactly sure whether this was macroblocking. But again, the...

Snickelfritz, If I understand you correctly, you are saying that RG59 should be fine for my analog video component output. I will be using this over a distance of 35 ft, so hopefully that should not be an issue. Let me know. Thanks.

Hi All, Sorry for asking this old question once more...but i wanted to know, for a purely DVD player use, do I need to use RG6 or RG59 component cable? I recently had to send my upconverting player back due to image quality issues. So now I am back with my old DVD player which has component...

Zar, What kind of display do you have? I shipped my 981 back earlier this week. I just couldnt get rid of the grainy output at certain scenes. Movies to test with 981 are... 1. Chamber of Secret (chapter 2) when Harry enters his room and the elf is jumping on his bed. Look at the green wall...
