Region B Blu Ray Audio

Hi Guys,

I've ordered a Panasonic DMP-BD30 Blu-Ray Disc Player from avland that I'm hoping to recieve later this week and I have a query on DTS HD Audio on Blu Ray Region B discs.

I've also ordered a couple of Region B Blu Ray discs from play.com - 300, The Simpsons Movie, Sunshine and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. All of these come with a variety of DTS HD MA or True HD I believe - I may be wrong with this as those sound tracks may be Region A blu ray discs, not sure.

I just noticed that most of these are still classed as DTS HD MA 5.1 sound and not as I expected 7.1 channels. Are there only a few Blu Ray discs that are true 7.1 sound? If so are there any Region B discs out there with 7.1?

Cheers.

7.1 mixes are few and far between at the moment, though they'll probably become more common as the format matures. I don't believe there have been any TrueHD mixes of more than 5.1 channels released yet.

As for region B discs that currently have DTS HD MA 7.1 soundtracks, Hairspray does (though you can't tell that from the box).
