Looks like a nice spec too. It's Profile 2.0 (not mentioned in the summary), and native support for TrueHD and DTS HD is very, very, welcome.

If I actually wanted a Blu-ray player, this would be top of my list.

However, this is a fantastic deal! This particular BD Player has analog audio out. You can't find that feature on my player, only the S550 has that (roughly $100.00 more, and rarely dips under $290.00 from websites with lots of sales).

These are the complete specs from the read link:

Video outputs: HDMI (1.3), component, and composite

Audio outputs: 7.1 channel analog audio, coax and optical digital audio, and analog stereo (RCA)

Dimensions: 17 X 11 X 2"

The 7.1 channel analog audio is huge. Basically, if you just got a lower-end HTiB for Christmas, or if you have an older receiver that doesn't have HDMI processing for sound, you can actually have DTSHD and DDHD with these audio outputs. You just have to run a few more cables. Optical out will get you good quality, but not lossless. These analog outs are a huge improvement at this price range! Good job, Vizio!]]>Jan 8th 2009 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/vizio-jumps-into-the-sub-200-blu-ray-player-ring-with-its-vbr10/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/vizio-jumps-into-the-sub-200-blu-ray-player-ring-with-its-vbr10/
It will be interesting to see how this player is implemented, and how the sound will be set up for analog.]]>Jan 8th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/vizio-jumps-into-the-sub-200-blu-ray-player-ring-with-its-vbr10/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/vizio-jumps-into-the-sub-200-blu-ray-player-ring-with-its-vbr10/
there are plenty of Htibs that offer analog 5.1 inputs; iv'e yet to see one with a 7.1 setup though. more importantly, i wonder if vizio still outsourcing parts and manufacturing?]]>Jan 8th 2009 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/vizio-jumps-into-the-sub-200-blu-ray-player-ring-with-its-vbr10/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/vizio-jumps-into-the-sub-200-blu-ray-player-ring-with-its-vbr10/Jan 30th 2009 10:19AM
