 A tip for those who may have, like myself, enjoyed collecting the dts and/or dolby digital 5.1 audio discs released over the last 10 years or so. While they played flawlessly on dvd players, I have found that such is not necessarily the case with blu-ray. In my case I am currently using the Panasonic DMP-BD30, so I can't say this is necessarily true of all machines. The bug is that the machine does not react to menu requests and sometimes won't bring up the menu at all.

I have found however, that these discs work much better, though not perfectly, on my HD player (yes, I bought both). While HD is of course now defunct, am keeping my player around just to play these audio discs via an hdmi connection.

If anyone out there is encountering a similar situation with their audio discs/blu ray situation, am sure someone is giving away their HD machine, and it could be a very viable solution for you.
