Blu-ray Hi-Def Equipment : 24p and Dolby/DTS-HD?

24p and Dolby/DTS-HD?

I have a few questions, and would like some help.

HDTV: Sanyo DP42840; 42" 60Hz 1080p
Blu-ray: LG BD550; 1080p
Home theater/surround: Samsung HT-TX72; 480p DVD, HDMI; 5.1

1. Are both my player and TV capable of 24p? If so, how do I go about enabling it?

2. My player has Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA, but my surround sound system doesn't; it only has standard Dolby Digital and DTS. HDMI is connected, so I'm confused. Am I or am I not getting the DTHD and DTS-HD MA coming out of my speakers? Would I have to upgrade to one with those codecs to actually get the sound?

Another question, so I'm prepared: Does anyone know of any playback/firmware issues with Tron or Tron: Legacy, from reviews and such? I guess nobody will know till tomorrow, but I thought I'd ask. I'm dying to see them.

Thanks for all your help.

Re: 24p and Dolby/DTS-HD?

1. The player, yes; the TV, no. A TV would need a 120Hz refresh rate at least to be capable of 24p.

2. No, you're not--your system is using one of the signals that it *can* use. Yes, you'd need to upgrade your receiver to use hear the lossless audio.

If that's true, then i guess no tv in europe is able to play 24p, not a single one, as the refresh-rates are 50/100/200hz. then again, miraculously, my 50hz tv does indeed accept and reproduce 24p. go figure.

You sure about that one, either? I'd assume that the player is 2.0 profile and thus able to decode the HD-encoded audio to PCM.. which would work via HDMI. you *know* that the HT-system does not accept PCM, then?

I find your answers to be a bit suspect.

I can just about remember the time, when 'human suspect' was a given, not an option.
