This Samsung Blu-ray player offers very good image quality and studio-grade surround sound, but lacks the Profile 2.0 compatibility and onboard DTS-HD Master Audio decoding, as promised earlier.

Two things have come from the demise of HD DVD. Firstly, my hi-def movie collection has become massive since the format's back catalogue started selling for silly money, and secondly, it's encouraged fence-sitting manufacturers to fast-track Blu-ray decks
Review Verdict: Note that while it's true that the BD-P1500 will not internally decode (to output as LPCM) DTS-HD, it will bitstream all the HD audio formats (inc. DTS-HD) for you amp to decode. The review is misleading in that it's talking about its bitstreaming capabil
