Deductive reasoning. All players after Oct. 31, 2007 have to support profile 1.1 or better. It is after Oct. 31, 2007, thus is must support profile 1.1 or better. They can call the DVD-BT2500 a player or a transport or bubbles mcgoodtimes if they want, but if it's going to carry the blu-ray logo it has to meet the 1.1 standard. The spec sheet on the website states that secondary video playback is included in the player. It'd be silly for them to include it but not a way to hear the audio with it, don't you think? My guess is either they'll pass the bitstream of the secondary audio on it's own without mixing, or if you select secondary pip it will reencode audio to standard DD or DTS. The second is my guess since the player does include standard DD and DTS Surround logos on the front. Why put those (but not TrueHD or DTS-MA or such) on the unit if it didn't have decoders for them. So yeah, it technically does some things that don't meet the definition of a transport, but for the most part it does.
