Thanks. Is the digital output (optical or coax) of the LG BD390 capable of at least 5.1? I've heard that some players downmix to 2.0.

I have been considering the LG BD370. It's hard to find good information on electronics these days... everything is summarized, simplifed, or homogenized. "Wrong" is also commonly observed...

I really don't know, I just run the HDMI into my TV and then run the stereo RCA audio outs of the TV to a 2-channel stereo reciever. I set the player to output PCM 2 channel but it will output all sorts of other things; 7.1, 5.1, DD, DTS, DTS-HD, DDTHD and so forth.
If you go to LG's website you can look at the player's manual and figure out what it does. The player outputs audio from HDMI, analog 2 channel RCA outs, coaxial and optical digital outs and 7.1 analog outs. It seems to be pretty flexible.
