Question

I have an old surround sound system,and i want to buy a blueray player.do i have to buy a new receiver too?

Answer 1

that will greatly be determined by the receiver you have currently and the model of blu ray you are looking at.

Provide more detail and you will get an answer

Answer 2

Depends on your needs.  Your blu-ray player will have multiple outputs.  There will be a way for you to get sound to your old system.  If your system is relatively new, it will already have either a fibre or coxial digital connection. these have been a standard for a while are on most new surround systems

Answer 3

If you want to take advantage of BlueRay's audio capabilities you will need a receiver that is capable of uncompressed DD and DTS.  Most older receivers cannot do this.  If sound quality is not a big deal for you, the player's analog audio outputs will still get the sound to your system.

Answer 4

no you will still get full pcm most blue ray players do not even give a 5/1 or 6/1 option or so on in this format 2 channel only it takes up huge amounts of disk space master is i believe downloadable updates will be aval.down the line enjoy the pcm
