I have successfully run 2 titles from uncle Ho's collection on my BD60, no problemo at all
Alas, at RM48 a pop for "black" BD disc, I much prefer going "straight" with ori only.....a bit pain pain for my wallet but worth it

But for JAV BDs, I would take uncle Ho's over origin, since it is stereo anyway.
Plus we will have hard time importing the origin not to mention bloody expensive.

wah.. 48?? imagine getting 25GB disc vs a dual layer 50GB original.. for 20-30% more.. which more worth it?

one more stupid question

i see some BD players alow to to calibrate spk level, what are those for???
isnt spk level being calibrated on AVR's

or simply means those BD players can be connected to 5.1/6.1/7.1 Power amps direct, (looks stupid right w/o the volume control) or maybe those bd outputs are variable giving full volume controls on remote>>

calibrate speaker level for the analog out RCA ports? or at HDMI level?

If you are refering to the volume buttons found on the BDP remote control, they are meant for use if you have a "compatible" AVR i.e. Panny BDP with Panny AVR, Sammy with Sammy, Sony with Sony....

wat i meant is the internal setup found in bd players

Wow. A lot of informations here from last night post.

I guess it is still the best to buy a stand alone player rather than using ps3 for maximum performance.

Thank you!

just like some dedicate cd players they have a fixed stereo as well as variable out,

you can really use the CD as a pre... connect direct to a power and use the CD remote to control the volume

some uses this to match low (volts) input integrated or pre/power amps
sorry this is under hi-fidelity

There is a case where some AVRs do not do any bass management and room correction for analogue inputs. So this speaker level calibration needs be done in the BD player.

No, it is not advisable to send the 5.1/7.1 out directly to a power amp. It shd be sent to a pre amp that has protective circuits in place to not send too high levels to the amps that could in turn damage your speakers. If u direct a 5.1/7.1 out from a BD player to a power amp it is at full volume control then u can damage your speakers.

Some power amps have volume controls and clipping protection for overcurrent, but still it is a big risk to take.

Does it has any HD audio or just core DD and DTS only. That's all I wanted to know when I get the black disc
What are the 2 titles you tried?

thanks a million

the seller says its a direct copy from the ORI stuff, but I found a lot of tilles like MJ's Number Ones and Moonwalker available at Uncle Ho's shop which I know for a fact were neva released on BD, so I have my doubts on paying so much for fake stuff la

never trust whatever the nephew said...need to confirm for urself

Uncle Ho's Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. Alas, sound DTS only. Click on "extra features" on the menu, nothing happens FYI, those Black BDR only 25Gb ma

then no point la. feature not important. hd audio very...

Guys, I've got a noob question.

What are Uncle Ho/Uncle Lim BDs? I got the idea that they are non-ori, but if they are ripped from an ori BD and burned onto a BD as well, how do they differ in terms of quality?

we do not condone piracy. go buy original.

I have to admit I did buy a few real dual-layered DVDs many years ago, long before BD. Those were exact copy of the original, so at least I got the same quality of the original (except maybe disc quality itself). When I bring home I check the disc size in my laptop, if it's lower than 4.3GB then I return it back.

These pirated BD are not even close to original in quality, much worse, being compressed into BD25, and not that cheap to begin with. Heck, I don't even dare to buy those local released original BDs, even with the B2G1 offer.

No more pirated discs for me.

New PS3 Slim can bitstream. I'm holding back on the BD60 purchase until I read the reviews for the slim...
