See there again..............

Every chart I've seen for the Samsung 1500 shows 5.1 analog out.

The guy who reviewed the 1500 in this forum a couple of threads away says that it DOES NOT have 'analog outs' and then he a couple of posts later says it DOES decode TrueHD !!

This would be funny if it weren't so frustrating.

If it DOESN'T have 5.1 analog outs that would be another Downgrade from the 1400.
If it doesn'y have 5.1 analog why bother decoding TrueHD ??
If it has neither, then it has two downgrades from the 1400.

The Blu-ray site itself shows it as having Full TrueHD decoding AND 5.1 analog outs !
I've seen a review at another site and the same confusion is happening there.
I guess i could go to Wal-mart and at least see for myself if it has 5.1 analog outs. I guess the two guys who 'reviewed' this machine don't have the ability to post an image of the rear hookups.

I would have driven all over town by now to find it at Wal-mart if I was sure it had both features. Hell, I'd buy the 1400 if any store in my area would drop it below $400. I mean it has been out 10 months and the replacement model is on some shelves and they won't budge $50 ??

Oh well, I just hope that some unexpected emergency doesn't come up because i'm not putting this on my charge card when i've benn sitting here 6 weeks waiting for a new full-featured model or them to give an inch on price for an older model.
