Advice Pl: Preferable Bluray Player for Yamaha YHT-196 5.1 Ch Home Theatre System?

[hunnymonu]

Dear Friends


I would like to buy Yamaha YHT-196 5.1 Channel Home Theater System.So could you please specify which Bluray player can be preferable to attach with it ?

As we know YHT does not decode HD audio and accept LPCM decoded audio signals from the source. So please let me know which bluray player at the reasonable price (Tight Budget) can be a good companion of the YHT 196.

1) I need a BD player which can play most of the standard formats through USB.

2) I would like to play music and Films through USB and Bluray disk.

3) How audio quality would be effected in case i play the HD video directly from my LED TV having Audio Optical Output with USB attached as the source file?

4) Can i play FLAC formats on YHT 196 ?

Please help me out in this regard.

Thanks in Anticipation,

1) I need a BD player which can play most of the standard formats through USB.
A: You can go for LG high end model as this model can detect multiple partitions in the USB drives & has highest support for most of the file types. The best thing to do the check in the manual of the drives from the web-sites & do a comparison. I felt LG had far number of file playability than Sony & Samsung.

2) I would like to play music and Films through USB and Bluray disk.
A: You can as well try DLNA, as most of the drives support DLNA over wiFi. You can attach the drive to the network & play anything over the Wifi. This is same as playing through USB. You don't have physically attach the USB devices to the drive and this can be played or edited from different source. The formats support will be the same as supported through USB mode but confirm this ones by checking the manual of the device.

3) How audio quality would be effected in case i play the HD video directly from my LED TV having Audio Optical Output with USB attached as the source file?
A: I am not quiet sure.

4) Can i play FLAC formats on YHT 196 ?
A: Do me a favor. Check in the manual from the web-site. Look for the word FLAC in PDF.
