Your lense could be in trouble soon bro. Never play uncle ho dvd in your Blu-ray player.

Betul ka? How come will kaput? How about uncle ho bd?

According to some personal view from the people i know, they have informed me that Sony products especially DVD , Blu-ray players lens are sensitive to pirated items.

I have do not have the faintest idea, why..but the lens are sensitive , similar to PS3 i guess.

Maybe Sony users could say a word here..

I dont agree with your statement, can u be more specific how the lense work n have statistic it will wear out faster playing uncle ho dvd?

Im not creating stories, im just posting info based on user's personal experiences. I have a mate who bought Sony BDP S360, he didnt know that Sony BD players are rather sensitive.
So he played what you call "uncle ho" dvd all the time cos seems blu-ray not affordable.

His lens koyak in less than 2 months and had to send for service. Not sure how much he was charged. Didn't see for sometime now.

I guess if you dont agree, then i can't help it.

Go for Sony BDP-S360 if u have Sony Bravia and Home Theater. One Remote, control everything

For your info, i am using this sony bdp s360 model since november 09 n mix usage of bd n dvd so far so good. Your friend or mate might be one of the unlucky one

Maybe bro, i think he hit the BD player with uncle ho dvd everyday! Dumb boy..

I think i might be just wrong on my assumption of Sony BD player. Even i had plans to get either Oppo / Sony.

Good heavens you made me convinced. Hehehehe

if can try not to mix playing dvd and blu-ray too often
especially the uncle ho dvd

buy original lor

One of the reason of the 'premature' failure of the pick-up lense is due to the non-flat of the disc itself. Pirated DVD / BD might not be totally flat. So, when you put it into the tray, it will spins noisily and in an unstable way. This could damage the sensitive lense.

Very well-said. Thats where the player itself will force to do some internal feedback correction which can significantly reduce the lens life-span.


This is very applicable too in CD Players. As you can see, all audiophiles cd players, be it entry leve or high end, they normally do not feed them with cheap-scale cds.

I guess this wat happened to my mate who just recently had his BDP S360 damaged lens.




Ori's are affordable here at Lyn forum.



The only issue with S360 is eject button. No eject button on remote. Manual insertion..

Go get the Sony bdp-s765 instead of the s360. It is selling @ RM1500.00. A friend of mine bought these unit. Before getting the 765, a hifi shopowner loan him a denon bdp with retail around two ks to go along with his new Vivitek projector. Wasn't very happy with the PQ until the 765. It beat the denon bdp flat in PQ dept. According to him, all the output at the back of the player are gold plated just like high end model. i think one of the forumer here bought these player last year.

Someone offered me Pioneer BDP-120 for RM750. Am leaning towards the Panny BD60 but which would be a sensible choice?

Appreciate any comments. Tq~

Pioneer BDP-120 for RM750 is worth the money. Grab it while you can..

how much for Panny BD60 in KL now cos most of the shop in JB selling $1200+ like to get one..
