Hi, I just joined this forum. Was wondering if you guys can suggest a locally available, multi-region Blu-Ray disc player with inbuilt dolby & dts decoders and high audio quality surround multichannel RCA analog audio outputs.

Welcome Audioman. One of the best options available is the PS3 from Sony. Companies such as Panasonic, Pioneer, Denon and others have also started making their models available. These may or may not be available in the regular shops, and seem to be more popular in the grey market. The Panasonic BD-60 should be the most inexpensive at around 25K or so.
Cheers
Last I checked, PS3 was very much region-coded. I don't think PS3 bought in India would be able to play Blue ray movies bought from US. Although, PS3 games are region free. I had put on hold my purchase of PS3 just for this reason. I am eager to know your thoughts.
I heard there is a stereo analog output on PS3. No multichannel analog audio outputs on the PS3. I am specifically looking for a Blu-Ray disc player with inbuilt multichannel dolby & dts decoder and high quality discrete 5.1 analog RCA outputs. I would appreciate model number suggestions rather than just brand names please.
I myself have been using a PS3 for blu-ray;
am disposing the PS3 and buying a dedicated blu-ray player.
PS3 is not a good decoder and difinately not a part of a serious home theater setup.
And yes, all PS3 are region specific.

PS3 is of no use to me since I dont plan to buy an AVR. Thats why I want a Blu-Ray player with high quality dolby/dts decoded multichannel analog outputs
This way, I will have awesome performance at a very affordable price. So except for the Blu-Ray player, there are no other pieces of the system that will ever go redundant if surround formats change. That's my plan!
Sony and panasonic blu ray players are region free , are you sure, can someone confirm this give me a link ?
