Hello bluray enthusiasists.

What's the best blu ray player under RM1000 price range?

I've been quoted a player of RM600++ but they say it will have a lagg time of 1 min to read the disc before playing it.

Is this normal or should I take a look at other models? I read that pana BD-60 is quite famous around the forumners.

Thanks

Haha. Well I don't know the models should be Sharp I guess. I once saw a Sony model too.

But like you guys said, they are old models.

So, what about this profile 1.0 ?

Heh thanks for info. I guess profile 1.0 is a no no since I have my ps3. Now need a new player to replace the ps3 as a blu ray player.

But, as I said earlier, tight on the budget. So the top budget bd-player is still BD-60? hmm.gif

Well visit Sony Centre today and saw the SONY BDP-S360 Blu-ray player.

Support BD Live + All HD sound codec (include DTS MA).

Sell at RM1888, good buy?

Hm. That's the cheapest model?

BTW, I have a question. Does the blu ray players play part in supporting the HD sound codec? Since the thick ps3 don't support the HD sound codec, I'm opting for a stand alone BD player to solve the problem.

OR, if I have an AVR that supports the HD sound codec, will it make a difference between using a ps3 with the AVR or a stand alone BD player with the AVR?

Ok, based on my own knowledge (but dunno correct or not)

Sony have launch the new BDP-S360, sucessor to S350, which support DTS Master Audio.
But as my understanding, these BD player do not decode any surround sound, they just "bitstream" to external decoder/amplifier.
Unless those expensive high-end player with built-in decoder + analog speaker out.

BD player + BD disc (HD audio) + normal TV = normal stereo sound*.
*Doesn't matter wat sound you choose, standard Dolby or HD audio

BD player + BD disc (HD audio) + amplifier/decoder + optical cable = standard Dolby/DTS surround sound*
*Optical cable can't transfer HD audio signal, bandwidth not enough.

BD player + BD disc (HD audio) + amplifier/decoder + HDMI cable = HD audio sound*

*
Thanks for the info.

From what you have wrote, the BD player does not effect the HD audio sound regardless of using a rm900+ and rm2000+ BD players if I have an AVR (which supports HD audio codec) and a HDMI cable?

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!
