What about MPCM ? Blu Ray audio support ?
Hello,
Early DVD/DD adopter, I finally decided to switch to HD.
I've got a TV (Sharp XL2E) and a blu-ray decoder (PS3).
Now I would like a decoder (amp ? receiver ?) connected to them (along with the 360, the PC, the DVD recorder, ...) but I'm a bit lost about the codecs the amp has to support. (MPCM ? True DTS ? ... )
Is this RX-V463 the right product for me ? Is it much better than the RX-V461 ?
Sometimes it looks these decoders are a bit overkill. (Handling video ? Upscaling ? I don't understand : most current players and TVs do a good job at upscaling.) So I'm not even sure it's the right kind of product for me. (Sound/stream in, decode/mix, sound out, speakers. Am I over simplistic ?)
Thanks in advance for your answers.
PS:
It seems the RX-V461 and RX-V463 are not the same in every country (I'm in Europe)
From Yamaha's web site for Europe (the main land, not UK) I got a link that compared the V461 and V463 (I've been unable to post the URL)
They both have HDMI (2 in, 1 out) (I don't know which version though ...)
Both supports:
Dolby Pro-Logic
Dolby Pro-Logic II
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital EX
DTS Digital Surround
The V461 additionally supports:
DTS-ES
None of them supports:
Digital ToP-ART
Dolby Pro-Logic IIx
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital TrueHD
DTS Neo:6
DTS-ES Discrete
DTS 96/24
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio
I'm drowning in codecs.
