I guess the readers of a thread called "Blu-ray for Dummies" located in the SD forum don't!

Maybe you should try the question over in the High-Def equipment forum! Odds are...someone over there will know! Them guys is smart!

Re: Blu-Ray for Dummies

This thread has been very educational for me. I was under the impression that you couldn't play Blu-Rays on an SDTV. But they will downconvert, then?

That's good to know, although it's possible that I'll be buying both an HDTV and Blu-Ray player before too long.

Yes, when you set up the player for your equipment, you select the resolution you want the machine to deliver: 480i for a SDTV, and both Blu-ray machines I own also have composite jacks for the lowest level of picture and sound.

Re: Blu-Ray for Dummies

I could not get any Academy ratio films to display in Full Screen when playing them thru a Sony S500 & displayed on my 6 yr old 32 inch Hitachi CRT TV. All were displayed with black bars on all 4 sides. But my Sony S550 is not doing that, Academy ratio films are displayed Full Screen on the same CRT TV as above.
