Not sure about sony but for panasonic even after turning off the power, later can still resume

This depend on the firmware version

Theoritically the ROM drive is a transport. The picture quality will depend on the disc you use and your display card quality

The video processor, the sound processor and all the different brand had different hardware. That definite the quality. There are player that cost 400 to player that cost 4000. You will have to research more into the player that you want.

The hardware on the player do have some effect quality to audio and especially the video

If you are blue ray lover, is time to spend more on the player to try out

Is the BD you trying to play back is ori?

Oppo

That should not be the case. You need to check setting on your player. Is it set to pass through ?

Panasonic or Pioneer

cinavia is apply to the player. So if is cinavia compliant all discs are effected. I will say all new player now had cinavia enable

you can ask the manufacturer

Tell us if got cinavia issue

DVD most probably will be ok still.

I am not quite if all disc will be impacted. Maybe DVD had no lock. I had oppo player that is able to play back some old ahem DVD

Most new player wont be able to play non original disc due to.cinavia

Samsung player is not very good in reading back the disc

I will go with pioneer anytime

Yes it is still one of the top player but I will prefer oppo

450 will be good. Seriously don't worry about 4K, still very long way to go
