Q. i dont care about the dual lg one, just plain blu ray, which is the best?
Answer
Be forewarned that there continues to be reports* of problems with some of the much ballyhooed premium features often used to market the latest crop of high-definition disc players, including Blu-ray units. Regardless of what anyone recommends you need to carefully and thoroughly evaluate prospective high-definition disc players prior to purchase, particularly with all applicable A/V equipment that you are (or plan on) using, in an effort to minimize the risk of problems. (Keep in mind that some problems as well as missing features may be resolved through firmware upgrades.)
Because it is still relatively early in the game I recommend not investing too much money into a new high performance, high-definition disc player. For the time being, when shopping for a new high-definition disc player, I recommend models with an average street (or selling) price of no more than approximately $1000.
The leading contenders in the Blu-ray disc player camp are all new models - the Pioneer Elite BDP-95FD, Sony BDP-S2000ES and the Samsung BD-P2400. (The Samsung BD-P2400 Blu-ray Player may be one of the better values when it comes to full-featured, high-performance Blu-ray disc players.)

*Onkyo TX-SR875 Surround Sound Receiver Review

âIn addition to the usual multichannel Dolby Digital and DTS modes, the Onkyo provides decoding for those high resolution, lossless audio modes mentioned earlier if it receives them in raw bitstream mode. But none of the HD DVD or Blu-ray players available to me are apparently capable of sending Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio bitstreams to this AVR. We are still investigating why this is so at press time, but there is no indication that the reason for this failure originates in the receiver. Stay tuned.â

A somewhat minor quibble with respect to Sonyâs PlayStation3 is that it has some problems upscaling (though the latest update may have addressed the problem.) Nevertheless, to get the best up- or down-scaling performance, as well as the best performance in other picture quality areas, you must rely upon an alternate video processor. Unfortunately most video processors found in todayâs HDTVs and HD monitors fail to match the performance of the better video processors from Gennum, Silicon Optix, and Genesis Microchipâs Faroudja brand often found in the better high-definition disc players (such as those mentioned above,) AVRs, âpre-prosâ and outboard video processing units.
While a PS3 can provide an excellent HD picture it lacks the overall convenience and performance of the best set-top high-definition disc players.

how does Pandora work through Blu-Ray players?
Q. I have a Blu-Ray player with YouTube, Netflix, Blockbuster, and Pandora but I have no idea how to work the Pandora. I click a station and type things in and select them but they don't show up on my tv. Help?
Answer
Pandora works the same on the blu-ray player like on the computer.
First you should make an account. I recommend getting started on your computer and making stations on your computer- it should guide you through it.
Then sign in on your tv. If you're already signed in, you should sign out and sign back in to refresh it.
Next you can make more stations. To make a station you can either type in an artist you like or a song you like. It should show you some songs and you have to choose which one you meant. Then basically Pandora takes that song and finds songs that are similar to it. You can choose if you like a song and if you do it will play it more often. If you don't like the song it won't play it on that specific station. You can skip 6 songs per hour and 12 songs per day.
And that's basically it.
