they call
I am setting up a small theater. I need a blue ray player that has pre-amp outputs that I can connect to external amplifiers. Preferably one for each channel.
Answer
Wow - so many wrong answers.
I have a second-gen Panasonic with 6 RCA outputs for the sound. This allowed me to get the un-compressed HD audio feed without having to re-purchase a AV Receiver with the updated firmware to handle this.
The 6-channel analog outputs on a BluRay player is not too common these days except for the higher-end models.You are not going to find these on the $125 models. Be prepared to spend $250+ for this feature. The quality of the DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) on these models have to be superior to process the sound so this drives the prices up.
The Oppo-BDP83 will work but it's a few hundred dollars. You might look at the Pioneer Elite PDB players. Pioneer makes some higher-end models and these often have pre-outs for all the channels.
After some searching I found the Pioneer BDP-51FD on Amazon that has the pre-outs you want. The new prices are steep but some people are selling used.

Hooking up Blu-Ray player to HD tv?
Audrey Rod
I bought a Blu-Ray thinking i would be able to hook it up to my HDTV that is a little old but still HD. However there is not an HDMI in slot on my TV. There is one on my cable box though. Help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance! :)
Answer
Most Blu-ray players will not output hd over component cables for copy-protection reasons (as Masticina said).
But if your tv has DVI (looks like this: http://imageshack.us/a/img16/8039/dvi.jpg ), you can use an hdmi-to-dvi adapter or an hdmi-to-dvi cable. They are not expensive (just a few dollars) and you can find them on ebay, amazon, monoprice.com, dx.com, etc.
If you're not connecting your Blu-ray player to a sound receiver, you will need a second cable to the tv for audio (DVI is video only). The type depends on what your tv has for the DVI's audio input. Your player will need analog audio output (red & white rca jacks) for this (newer players don't have these anymore).
One more problem: if you tv is old enough, it might not support hdcp (high-bandwidth digital content protection) which is another copy-protection thing. If that's the case, the player likely won't work (in hd) with your tv.
