blu ray player or ps3 image
T J
I recently purchased a HDTV with 1080p and a blu-ray DVD player (PS3), and wonder what are home theater systems that would provide better outcomes at a reasonable cost (<$500). Do I need to buy a system or a receiver and separate speakers with capacity of 7.1 channel and HDMI 1.3 output?. Any recommendations on particular brand name and model?
Thanks ahead of time for your help!
Answer
The above answer will give you amazing sound, but that solution takes a lot of time and money. If you want a "quick fix" that yields entirely decent results, consider the Onkyo lineup of HT systems. It won't match up to the piece-by-piece assembly outlined by Robert P, but it will be a once-and-done expenditure that delivers admirable results. As long as you get a receiver with analog 5.1 or 7.1 inputs, HDMI 1.3 will not be as important. Especially if you do not buy a high-end system like the one described above, you would not really reap the benefits of having a 1.3 receiver.

Answer
Data-wise, a DVD and a blu-ray can hold the same types of data. In fact, they can contain any data you like, it's just a matter of finding a device that can read that disc to write or retrieve that data. A DVD can hold multimedia and data files... and a blu-ray can hold multimedia and data files... it's just that a blu-ray can hold many many more of them. Here's why:
I'm sure you've heard by now that blu-ray discs require the use of a blue laser to read the data. In fact, the primary reason for blu-ray's superiority is due to some breakthroughs in optical technology. The wavelength of the blue laser could be reduced to 405nm from the red laser's 650nm... meaning that basically the same amount of information could be stored and retrieved in a smaller area. Making the disc layer thinner and slightly increasing the laser aperture size eliminated unwanted spreading and bending of the light waves to keep it well focused.
-Yes, blu-ray is better both physically and capability-wise.
-The best blu-ray player overall is considered to be the PS3, as it supports all of blu-ray's capabilities. It took a while for Sony to release a firmware update that allowed decoding of DTS HD Master Audio, but it is now a full-featured profile 2.0 blu-ray player. The best standalone player is considered to be the Panasonic DMP-BD50.
-Features of blu-ray have yet to be fully unlocked. Of course the capacity allows for high bit-rate video at full high definition, and uncompressed audio. Everyone knows that (or should by now). But, with BD-Java programming capability and bringing the internet into it with BD-Live, the possibilities become astounding over DVD. I mean, it's not going to change your oil or balance your checkbook or anything... but, from an entertainment standpoint it's a pretty exciting medium. The movie companies finally have a medium with capabilities that can provide their customers with a full immersion experience in their living rooms.
DVD is the big brother and is still a damn good medium. But, moving into high definition and interactivity beyond that of navigation menus and Easter Eggs, DVD just doesn't cut it. However, there is no war between DVD and blu-ray. If there were, Sony would not have made it so all blu-ray hardware must support DVD. It's just a step-up from previous technology. I don't doubt that soon blu-ray and HVD (holographic versatile disc) will be in the same boat.
