Any receivers support Dolby TrueHD?
"Babaganoosh" I have tried to search for some, and haven't found any (yet). Does anybody know of any receivers which support TrueHD? Failing that, pardon me for being dense but how are we supposed to listen to audio soundtracks from HD-DVD or BluRay without such receivers? Do these discs also have DD or DTS soundtracks? ** You did not look very hard. http://www.dolby.com/consumer/technology/trueHD.html The first page says they are compatible with existing AV receivers. ........

Ah, but it doesn't say whether or not existing receivers will actually play back real, 'native' TrueHD, or if it's only a backwards-compatibility thing. ** Yawn = purest gobbdegook. I mean, how exactly could existing receivers play back an audio encoding method that did not exist when those receivers were made? ** Errr - cos DVD players deliver analogue audio. ........ Phil |

To listen to real, native TrueHD, you'll have to buy a new receiver anyway. See, that's what I was wondering about. I didn't mean, are receivers 'backwards compatible' with TrueHD (which is what the earlier parts of this article said). I meant, are there any receivers which can play back TrueHD *directly*. Apparently there aren't: "Eventually, A/V receivers will have direct access to Dolby® Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD bitstreams. We are working with the IEC and HDMI organizations to update data protocols to enable future versions of these high-bandwidth interfaces to carry these bitstreams." see? Even the current HDMI spec doesn't seem to be good enough. "To decode these bitstreams, the A/V decoder will need to support the updated data protocols, as well as incorporate these new decoding algorithms." See what I mean? Existing receivers won't do that. "With six or eight channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio to handle from these new HD formats, the post-processing DSP requirements for an A/V receiver more than double. " Now do you see what I mean? The HDMI 1.3 spec was just finalized recently. We will have to wait a few months for silicon. The receivers may be ready in 2007. This is what gets me about surround receivers. State of the art today equals obsolete tomorrow. In weeks or even days sometimes, it seems. A 3000.00 receiver reduced to 500.00 on eBay if you can even get that. Tired of the rat-race long ago.

Electronics rarely wear out and runs good enough for decades. How do
companies make more money from the people who already have receivers. Same goes for automobile. There is hardly any useful improvement for past 10 years. Just cassette cd changer and the like in the name of as you mentioned "State of the art". Now it is time that companies should go in for receivers to as component set. Plug-in a trueHD and run. Geez should have born after a couple of decades more "Mark D. Zacharias" wrote in message news:PQqrg.167545 | This is what gets me about surround receivers.

You didn't even attempt to answer his first question Allison. Which
asked whether there are any receivers that support TrueHD. What you gave him was a cite for Dolby promotional materials telling us what a great technology TrueHD will be. - Sometime in the future, when everyone else gets in step. Maybe you ought to read the note before you stick your foot in your mouth again. Jim Phil Allison wrote: "Babaganoosh" I have tried to search for some, and haven't found any (yet).

"JimCrap" = Top Posting MORON You didn't even attempt to answer his first question Allison. ** No need to - since the OP made the questions ALTERNATIVES. Try learning to READ some time, you ****ing anencephalic pile of dung. ......... Phil |

His FIRST question was:
"Does anybody know of any receivers which support TrueHD?" He also said that he had searched for an answer to his question, with no success so far. You didn't have to respond to him at all, of course, but since you did, a "normal" response would be to answer his first question before addressing his second question and before posting sarcastic comments about his search. And the site you gave him didn't answer his question. - - But perhaps you don't give a damn about helping him in the first place.
