If you consider the cost of an outboard Dolby Digital decoder, maybe the Samsung unit is a price leader. Thanks for the report PeterV.

True, but as noted: "The DVD905 has a pair of digital outputs, one coaxial and one optical -- excellent. This should make it easier to add the player to an existing system since some to the A/V compnents have a coaxial or an optical digital input but not both. Why the DVD905 -- and other Dolby Digital equipped DVD players for that matter -- does not offer a digital audio input or two is a mystery to me. It wouldn't cost much at the factory, and it would extend the future potential of the machines dramatically, eliminating one objection to their ilk; If your only DD decoder is in the DVD player, what do you do when a second DD source, like HDTV, comes along in a year or two?" They also note that the player has no component-video connectors currently found on a few high-end DVD players and TVs. It has 1 S-video, 2 composite video jacks, plus RCA style RGB jacks for scan-doubling RGB-equipped video projectors or computer monitors.
