Hi, I'm planning to buy a DVD player and have pretty much zeroed on Samsung DVD-P480R (R-> FM Radio being one of the priority). It can output to 5.1 and its specifications also say that it supports "Dolby Digital Surround Sound" but not "DTS Decoding". I'm confused on this. Can this convert stereo to 5.1?

Also please recommend any other brand/model which has better features/performance (if you know, that is).

Regards,

waiting for your response...

If you are buying a DVD player buy one which can upconvert standard definition DVD video to High Definition, preferably to 1080p. Also one which has HDMI output.

FM is one of the priority. What about Onida DFX 8391? Though no USB support is still a -ve.
Assuming you have Onida Candy, are you fully satisfied of it?

I can leave HD for now, I wont need HDMI output for forseable future.

BTW can someone clear doubts regarding Dolby support mentioned in first post.

Thanks for replying, but hey guys, give me more tips. I know its not a huge investment, but still...
