I hv a pioneer 450 [ which is not tat ol ] still running
N a really ol pioneer dvdp oso running..


D

I feel your pain.....

So, only OPPO brand bluray has better reliability? To me, DVD players doesn't seem to broke so easily, perhaps some sensitivity issue but bluray player outright ridiculous

Pioneer as well but of course the price is also 3x more than those BD players you mention

How about those Cinavia free bluray player commonly sold in Msia? There's the BOE brand and another unbranded 4in1 player commonly found on lelong.com? Then there's that HongKong Video brand which is also cinavia free......

Double post

You pay for what you get

Seems like digital movie collection is the way to go. No broken player or broken disc, also more compatibility for future equipment, just need the online streaming box or video media player or just a smart tv.

i think send to 3rd party technician , give the player a chance first .. if its happen again then buy a new one

Better also ask how much they charge for inspection and what they may quote for replacement part...... last time my Philips bluray bring back to service centre the technician said the circuit board malfunction and the replacement cost is almost same as a new player End up wasted inspection fee some more (no longer under warranty, one month after warranty expired)

yes , better ask first .. you are right , forgot bout that hahah

Thank you sir.

Bought a Pioneer BDP180 player for my new unit, then kena this Cinavia error, drove me crazy. While browsing some *ahem* movies in a shop, saw this BOE Cinavia free player over the counter, bought from them at RM420.00 (Non 3D version), with 3D will cost additional RM100.00.

Set it up once I reached home and happily watching all my movies without hiccups.

Happy hunting as new 4K player is already out

Cinavia is actually not that big a concern as most movie does not contain cinavia except the few movies produced by Sony. The "presumably" better compatibility with ahem disk is those brand-less player's main appeal. However it's worth mentioning that you get what you pay for with those ahem disk, they are mostly low quality disk that will not last long, a year or so later you may notice "holes" appearing on the disk. Nowadays my desire for HD entertainment comes from Axtro HD channel and occasionally online download, I'm fed up with those cheap disk and the hassle and frustration to "change disk"..... From the days from VCD, DVD till today's Bluray disk, the lesson I learnt is that it's pointless to collect movies as they all eventually become junk compared to the ever progressing "higher definition". 4k? 8k....... Never ending...... Just my 2 cents

Yup...I have ditched (stopped buying) my DVD/CD/BR collection 4 years ago...

Now I'm not sure what to do with those CDs...I have more than 1500 movies! sigh

Wow, you must have spent a fortune, or a small fortune also If they are ahem disc.....
If you have ahem disc, maybe a lot of them already filled with countless holes and become unplayable..... That's what happened to many of my previous collection
I love how in the west nowadays the buyer also obtain right to digital copy on the cloud, meaning you can view those movie on any internet connected device (and future devices ) If only Bolehland can move forward where everyone no longer earn peanuts and cannot afford genuine copyrighted goods nobody wants ahem if they can afford good quality goods.
