Its a DRM for content protection against unauthorised copies.

perhaps its the cheapest 3d player.

Can be verified using cinavia-enabled audio track of the backup copy or BD-R.

You can try play the new Resident evil:Retribution.

How to tell whether you have original Blu-Ray discs?

Original BD-ROM is WHITE silver color.

Backup copies or BD-R / LTH BD, they are black, dark blue or dark copper.

PowerDVD is not cinavia compliant yet.

The problem you mentioned is not cinavia related, but its the player readability, thefre is no garantee BD-R is 100% readable on the player. Standalone player has less playbility issues tho.

LITEON is an OEM product, so no bundled software.

You can get the LG one with bundled software, price almost the same. LITEON BD-R writer is 12x, LG one is 14x, much better actually.

Set to Region A.

Blu-Ray drive is region free for Blu-ray (software lock), but region lock for dvd (only 5 changes allowed, hardware locking via firmware ; MPC2 spec).

Demands for non-cinavia blu-ray was quite high, a friend just sold his last 2x S485 at RM550.

Demands for non-cinavia blu-ray was quite high, a friend just sold his last 2x S485 at RM550 each.

The read only vs the writer only differ around 100+ plus you'll get faster reading speed, i find the 4x readibility a bit problamatic with some poor quality BD-R, or aging BD-R (kept for over 3 years)

Panasonic doesn't like BD-R and worse LTH. Don't get the rm10 one most likely an LTH BD, get the expensive one better media quality, normally a BD-R (HTL)

Your Pana should have a problem with normal BD-ROM.

combo only give us dvd writing capability , not blu-ray.

Yes, it should be. But some claims its firmware can be downgraded, but not sure of asian models. do at you own risk.

Just make sure your Gfx card has native hdmi for hdcp, 24hz 1920x1080 output support for software and gfx card.

MUST use dual core cpu (minimum), or you'll get video stutter and audio desyn.

Once BDA upgrades their AACS revision in new blu-ray release, older players has no choice but to update frmware if they want to play original disc with new version of AACS.

Or keep the old ones for bdr playback. New ones for ori bdrom playback.

Java compatibility issue on some titles, upgrade software to the latest rev and latest drivers. Must output thru HDMI for hdcp or protected content. Region selection on software must match your bd disc if they are region locked.

Yes. This issues is stated in hardware requirements of the software. Only for ori bd, but bdmv or ripped m2ts no problems.

All new BDP (after feb 2012) are cinavia compliant. This protection will only be triggered by copied original product with cinavia protected sound track.

All BRANDED BDP are tied up with cinavia due to licensing.

If you really want cinavia free and region free get a china made GENERIC model. Around rm299 for normal and 399 for 3D, ask around electrical shop. Java version should be up to date there should be no problem with new titles.

Have you bought any original disc? check at the back if the dics has a cinavia protection logo means the ciplak version of the disc is also cinavia compliant.

If the original disc is not cinavia protected, the ciplak or copied is also cinavia free.

You player reads original disc and detected it as BD-ROM, the copied or a ciplak BD-R is detected as BDMV.

BD-R works just DVD-R. They are copied using computer bd burner.

Original disk looks like a dual layer dvd, silver. Ciplak version bdr is dark blue or black. BDR self degrading over time, over 5 years plus bdr might not be playable, depending the quality of media, BDR LTH is the worse. The better quality BDR looks like DVDRW, but rarely used due to cost.

If you plan to keep the bluray, better still get originals, they are pressed silver and almost immune to degradation compared to writable media or ciplak bluray. No need to worried being unable to play after 5 years of storage.

Yes BOE is region free and cinavia free.

But their servo and optic lense/an laser is inferior to branded.
