I am confused. I have a Philips blu ray player with the following audio outputs: Analog audio Left/Right out, HDMI output, Component Video output, Digital coaxial out, Ethernet, Analog audio 5.1 channel out. Can anyone please tell me if I can connect it directly to a 5.1 channel speaker system ? (that is, with out a separate receiver).
Thank you.
Answer
You need to connect it to an amplifier or amplifier/receiver that handles 5.1 Dolby surround. The bluray player only has a pre-amplifier built in and that only supplies enough signal for the amplifier to use to produce the sound. The player itself cannot drive speakers. You don't need anything really fancy.

What use are the built in sound decoders on my blu ray player?

Hi i just bought a blu ray player that has built in audio decoders for all the new stuff like DTS-HD etc. How does this work? Can i get those decoders to play through my regular 5.1 system or do i still need a 7.1 reciever to play them? I was looking a receiver with all the HD type decoders on it but do i need them on both the blue ray and the receiver?
Answer
You need either your player OR your receiver to decode the audio formats, but you don't need both. If your receiver doesn't have HDMI 1.3 you'll need your player to decode it. The catch is your player will have to have analog outputs and your receiver will have to have analog inputs. Now you're 5.1 receiver probably has the inputs, but your player probably doesn't have analog outs-most do not. If you list your receiver and player models I can take a look and see if it's possible.
If you're receiver and player don't meet these requirements, you'll need to consider that when buying a receiver. You can find a receiver that will do 7.1 and decode the audio formats internally for about $400+
