actually both way also risky if power out before firmware finish flashing.
what i meant by easy is no need to burn into cd-r only.
its ok if the line is slow coz the flashing only started after the whole firmware downloaded.

Just use UPS.

Added on August 14, 2009, 8:01 amRumor: Slim PS3 Announcement Next Tuesday

PlayStation 3 British electronics site Pocket-Lint reports today that its "sources" have confirmed that the slim PS3 is a reality and that Sony will announce it next week. Specifically, it will be officially announced by SCEI chief Kaz Hirai during the press conference that will be held next Tuesday evening (Europe time) at the GamesCom gaming conference in Cologne, Germany.

The note contains no information on product details or pricing, but we previously reported that a French source had revealed the slim PS3 would be 100 euros cheaper than the current one (see here).

need to watch more TV lesser BDs..

the bdp got internal memory to store the downloaded firmware?
not directly updating from web?

think many users is knows PC stuff that well
so someone can start side income (burning firmware and distribute)

if really power failure it happens both ways whether using CD-R's internal BD player flashing oso.
well maybe can start investing in a moderate UPS for firmware upgrade purposes.

really have to check with Manufacturers, what happen if power failure during upgrade,
will it be dead (have to send back to service center) or can continue to upgrade back from last firmware version

power out during flashing will tell u only one thing....u really suey

haha.... who ever kena this incident really must go buy lottery
really one in a million

hi anybody saw magnavox usd 98 bd player at walmart? it does everything except no lan or wifi for bd live it has latest profile any one ordered it one question iy cant do dolby or dts audio so how will it be decoded or how to get the hd audio out of it?

The latest profile is BD-Live, so if it has the latest profile it must have LAN or wi-fi. This means that it only has profile 1.1 only.

No experience with this player, but it should at least supports bitstreaming, so if you have current HD AVR with HDMI you should be OK.

I think I saw 51FD at Hiway laser. Demo set of course.

thanks bro Ngto
how many branches are there, i call the tel no on their brochure and they told me Takda and somemore their shop close on Sunday

well actually i am also considering oppo 83 or maybe the cheaper JVC, but the warranty again worries me

i have called my cousin in JB to checkout for me, and
if i really confirmed, maybe ask my bro (actual bro) in Singapore, purchase it, unpack it and leave for dust gathering,then later take back malaysia as a used set

but then again if buy so expensive set lagi no local warranty, next year if BD player roll-out with the true 3-D feature, then really jialat lor

For sure, there are many better BDP and of course cheaper too, flooding our shore next year.

Why 51FD and not latest BDP?

bro htkaki, you have better alternative/recomendations???
Pls advice... thanks (edited... so you think i should wait,,,, to be frank i can still tolerate, my3900 with the audica's on DVD is totally a new experience to me)

i'm all ears

i dont know, maybe i can tolerate the loading times,( it seems if upgrade the 256mb kingston ram) inside to a high speed 2gb SD can improve loading times...
it seems oso from specs wise, the 51Fd( wolfsons) betters the 320 and 52 (burrbrowns) DAC on both dedicated stereo,.. more over at the given price of RM1800 FOC 2BD's and HDMI cable, but base on fact finding might not better the OPPO 83

Furthermore the 51FD(RM1800) is identical to the LX71,(RM3400) only difference is 51FD use half (is inferior on Video DAC) but this function is true if you are using component input.

i am using a 50" 1080' LCD, so the deep colour of 48 versus the 36 and also the 1080/24p will not show any difference,

i budget 3k but still can go for the LX71( but defeats the purpose) so another thought is the OPPO 83 which has very good reviews against the 51FD, 320, and 52' ( well still mixed reviews but %tage wise majority still prefers the 83, maybe for its SACD and DVD-A, not to mention MKV)

also BD-live looks important and future proof, but seems no one give a damned oso.

so maybe later if i upgrade to projectors, yes the Oppo 83, might have better PQ then again technology changes and maybe that time we could have better players around.

This is just my personnel opinion for finalising on a BD player latest this month or next

Where are you located. I was referring to the PJ branch. Like I said, I saw a demo set, don't think they have new ones.

thanks bro Ngto,
i am in Ipoh, have already called uo 03-7673-8325 and it seems that all 3 shops oso dont have

Guys need yr help.

Currently I'm using the old Yamaha RX-V995 which do not have HDMI input/output. I wish not to upgrade the AVR since it can still be used.

Questions:

(1). Can I purchase a blu-ray player that has all the decoding done, then output the HD content (Audio) to my AVR?

(2). Which blu-ray player can do this? BD60, Oppo BD83?

(3). Any good suggestions are appreciated.

(1) Yes. But optical only has enough bandwidth for PCM 2 channels or use core DTS or DD. can't enjoy Full HD audio.
(2) If your current AVR has 5.1 analog inputs, I think you can try DB80.
(3) change AVR

Thks for the reply.

I read the Oppo 83 manual. Saw got Analog outputs. Is this output FHD audio?

(2). If my current AVR has an analog input, can I enjoy the FHD audio?

1. Yes. It is decoded in the Oppo and sent out thru the analog outs.

2. Yes.

Hi guys,
I'll finally be getting a BDP soon. Considering one of the following
1) BD60
2) 51FD
3) Oppo 83

Can someone recommend me a store (and est. price if you know). Thanks a bunch.

Also, if my AV receiver does not support DTS HD (normal DTS) but has analog input, and i hook it up to the Oppo 83, will I get the same results as a system with DTS HD?

Thanks a bunch in advance guys.
