Hi, everybody.
I am thinking about upgrading from my existing DVD player to a new Blu-ray disc player. However, I am wondering if it is as simple as just purchasing the player. I don't want to purchase the player and then find out my TV doesn't support the connections, etc.
Are there any tricks or traps I have to be aware of when going to a Blu-ray system?

I don't know about the connectors, but there is a chance that your TV will only output a lower quality image than the Blu-Ray player is sending. In the event that they're on the same page, you're probably set; otherwise, you might need to convert some cables.
Then again, I don't really know...

But no, BluRay is no better. It just had more money behind it, Sony bought their market position instead of earning it through technical merits.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
