Question swapping blu ray for PS4

[st170dan]

hi, I am thinking of swapping my blu ray player for a PS4. will I still get accurate 5.1 sound on my movies if I use the PS4? I have an amp and separates set up. to my knowledge I should as it's the amp that does the decoding but I wanted to double check! TIA.

Absolutely.
The PS4 can indeed bitstream all Dolby and DTS audio codecs including HD audio codecs in 5.1 or even 7.1 if you have that configuration.

Get some kind of media remote as well.

Get some kind of media remote as well.

If you're AVR or pre/pro supports HDMI control, you can use its remote to all but turn on the PS4.

bit technical for me, happy with the ps4 controller!
