Need confirmation of RP82 feature (1 Viewer)

[Ken D.]

I can't find a picture of the back of the Panny RP82 anywhere except for a listing on Ebay. Are there 5.1 analog outputs on the rear of the player? Will it decode DD/DTS and output the sound via those 5.1 outputs...aka connect the DVD player to a Dolby Digital ready receiver with 5.1 inputs. I have a Yamaha DD ready receiver I'm not ready to part with which makes my progressive DVD (no chroma bug please) player choices pretty limited.

My only other player consideration is the JVC XV-FA900B, but I don't want a changer.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, and yes.
It has built-in DD and DTS decoders that output (along with DVD-A) to the analog outputs.

Thanks for the quick response. Now I have to find a local retailer that's got one in stock.
