hi guys,im planning 2 buy a bluray player(Philips BDP3008/98) soon...

im buying it 2 watch bluray disc(been using ps3 b4) n dvd

jus wanna know,can i watch 'ahem-ahem' dvd using the bluray player?

tats all,thanx 4 ur time !

p/s = im not promoting cetak rompak stuff ya...pls,BUY ORIGINAL !

yes you can! i own a few titiles and it reads all except one...and forget about using blu ray live on uncle ho's bdr - they're disable...and a lot of special features are missing too...some shops ok to change if ur player cant read the discs

but if u really wanna fully utilise the BD live profile 2.0 and get all the special features glory...buy original mate!!

short review: pic and audio quality (only normal DTS) are awesome...but dont expect this player to player anything via the usb slot - that is only meant as memory for BD live

oh...how much is your player? i got mine player a month ago for rm600+ at senQ with 4 (gulp!) years warranty!

and does somebody know whtas the difference between model 3000 and 3008??

What do you mean by this only normal DTS ? Is it the player cannot support TrueHD or DTSMA ?

support TruHD and DTSMA

opps..i read his questionly wrong...he asked if can play ahem2 dvds...of course...and the best part is that it plays ahem2 blu ray discs too

but buy original dvd ler...price getting lot cheaper now...even District 9 ori dvd is only about rm20++...

waiting for ori blu ray discs prices to get a lot lower

I got it from Ipoh,RM1250.00 seems they are the imported from Taiwan, with local warranty

bluray, HDD even the DVD upsampling is very good

simply worth every single Penny spent

just F/W upgrade to this >> "4th_firmware_blu-ray_100C_090712_1219_100F.fmw"

no problem

Added on February 2, 2010, 12:23 pmthis is exactly the same set, only cosmetic differences

uses the same F/W and same remote control

If connect USB external HDD and play all ripped DVDs (iso etc) from there, can get the full menus etc. ? Will the upscaling be just as good as played directly from internal BD/DVD drive?

sorry bro,jus wanna ask..izit officially branded?
never heard of it b4...(no offence ya,jus asking only )

to be frank.. you kno la.... china many products, think this is one of the best.

even the FW i can upgrade and downgrade, i also threw the patterson F/W ( well like i say cosmetic differences) it is working just that the front LCD display garbage ( different LCD panel) downgrade back was ok

will snap internal foto later, gosh, the BD transport mechanism is a Sony.... Made In Jepun one

to me ... it can play every damned thing i threw in ... without problem .... somemore with warranty... hassle free what the fuss,
if really give problem i get to have a loan set too... (mana dapat this 1st class service)

well will try and look for differences in PQ and AQ on David Foster ( ori BD from US.. not speedy one with the HDD BDMV 41.3GB )

havent finish yet ... quality wise matching the Sony BDP-S765 and LX-52 (even if 765 and 52 is better than 5%... so what.... always remember at a fraction of the price, & full multimedia mode ) at the end of the day, when you bought it back... it will defitnitely be the best to your Eyes & Ears

what more to ask he hehe... bitstream 7.1 too ... my yammy icons lighted up

P/S btw, they are officially launching (buffet opening ceremony) this Sunday, any one near Ipoh give me a tinkle or drop by personally

also .... i am not the boss and i do not earn any commission .... just wanna share and introduce a Quality Affordable Product f or all to enjoy...

Sigma chipset? Have u tried the newer Fox titles. Fox is notorius for changing BD-J coding that causes havoc with players...

if someone is telling you it is a quality product ... reckon ... you will half heartedly believe

but now... someone who owns a LX-52 and S765 is telling you its a very good product.... Do you believe
and yes it does upscale on DVD and does bdmv full menu (who cares its sigma 8634 it still performs at lesser memory than 8642

it does state it does iso, and bd-live on media playback... but i havent tried... ( i didnt even try bd-live on 52 and 765...haha)

have tried 3gb mkv on 2012, too me its considered good, but my HM and daughter say its very clear already, ( ask me... you still want clearer ah )
mind you and its on a 50ins 1080i TV

Seven Pounds comes to mind....

Any newer Fox movies, ie Quantum of Solace and others.

hehe..all in one kaa?...so its good than philip 3008?

seven pounds belum cuba, but QOS on Ori BD okay ( panning run very smoothly) from statue scrolling up and also after the car chase scene entering the HQ to the tunnel where the camera pans up ( i've seen this scene parts judder during the KLIAV fair demonstrated on Pioneer 50" with BDP-51FD and LX-52
(10gb mkv QOS also ok... is this considered..hehe)

er .... depends..... its seems some forumer say can get 3008 at RM499.

really depends what exactly you want, but if you looking for a media player and BD
then its worth to try out this all in one HDMAX BD-200C

Looks interesting as I'm thinking of getting another HD media player for mkv files and a BD player for Blu-Ray disc . If this unit can also support RMVB then that will be fantastic

U don't see judder on this but saw it on the Pioneer 50". I believe ur set does not accept 24fps. That is 24fps judder. Ur eyes are used to 3:2 that's why. For me 3:2 pulldown for 24fps material is bad...I can live with 24fps (72Hz refresh) judder.

er... rmvb can get a less than RM100 player to see le

ya maybe, the 24p thingy...
thats y the LX52 and 765 looks good w/o judder on my 1080i

out of curiosity... but y... suppliers are emphasing on judder/motion free LCD with 200hz etc,
y it is still THAT noticable >> hitech against 1080i <<

---

Added on February 3, 2010, 3:08 pmmy next upgrade will be a 1080p/24p deep colour LCD projector...
if the judder/mortion effect is not solved
guess have to be extreme carefull when buying

This post has been edited by moomoos: Feb 3 2010, 03:08 PM

U need to understand that the 24fps judder is due to 24frames per second recorded on film. That's the way it is. Different eyes have different sensitivities. If u look closely in the cinema, u will see 24fps judder, its just that the screen is so big that u do not pay too much attention toit. Back home, the screen is much smaller, so u notice it. Display manufacturers counter that with higher refresh rates. Again, if u go too high, it starts to look like a soap opera (video). In ur case, if u actually look at it, the 24fps is being converted to 30fps that is being refreshed to 60Hz. The judder there is worse as 24 is not divisible by 30. So there is a 2:3 pulldown to convert 24fps to 30frames which is then refreshed at 60Hz.

LCD refresh rates are a whole other subject.

phew..!! very technical...
but from your effort ( all along you r a very patient person, will try yr utmost best to satisfy ones' query/doubt ) .... will try to understand

mucho gracias

think will take the QOS to the shop and test on the kuro 602

Best way to see 24fps convert to 60Hz judder is by looking at end credits when the names are moving up/down. Also fast moving scenes with lots of things happening. Remember that in ur case on ur 1080i set, the native refresh is 60Hz. So the conversion must be done. U r probably used to it and not notice it anymore. The Kuro 602? or 608? The Kuro when receiving a 24p signal if put in Advanced (Pure Cinema Mode) will refresh at 72Hz and is as smooth as it gets without being too much like a video. In my opinion, 96Hz refresh of a 24fps signal is the most u can go, anything higher the video look is there. Even 96Hz is borderline it. Baseline it on the Kuro on how the refresh is done on 72Hz and see if u still see it judder. However, if the wrong Pure Cinema mode is chosen, then it can be a different issue (Do not choose Pure Cinema Smooth (junk in my opinion) or Off (this will refresh at 60Hz), also if this is the older LX608G then do not choose standard as well, only Advance is correct setting)

ok ok .... brief in-depth simple explanation
but will not meddle with their LCD setting even if "judder" ( guess just have to accept as for now)

hehe .. gracias

Added on February 3, 2010, 5:31 pmbtw think no need to test also

seen "i robot" .... oh forgot the track ... the scene where they entered the automated Robot Facility in the car, searching for the "robot sonny"

a lot of judder effect seen there when they were weaving thru' the robots,

it happen on my 1080i too,

guess if really come across one that does not display the "judder effect" really have to mindset on it for next purchase

RM499 is so damn cheap 4 a bluray player...! where 2 buy it ha?

i think HDMAX BD-200C is kinda gd too...bt the price....

just follow the thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1125134/+1400

post no 1416

found da post bt cannot seem 2 find da bd player with tat price anywhere...

Just ensure your next purchase could support 24Hz refresh rate like many new models in the market now then you are good for non-juddering effect

i am using this philips BDP - everything is okay, can play from ori to ahem BD .. no worries ... over 25 titles playes, only 2 had issues and tested with Pioneer also have same problem.

quite suprise Philips have a good BDP this time around.

im gonna get me 1 philips BDP

Not really, many just marketing gimmick.

buy buy!!...no regret no surrender! if can get cheaper than my price...better

Added on February 3, 2010, 9:49 pmbtw - i just remembered...there's some limited units of this model selling for rm499 sometime last year (maybe that model was the 3000, not sure)...it was at harvey norman...but very2 limited stock coz it was kindof some introductory stock from Philips...

now the price for 3008 is around rm500 - 700 + .at Desa or SenQ...try to scout...sure can find cheaper ones soon...

i've never been dissapointed with philips actually...some years ago, they've known to share the same components with Marantz...sister company or something probably...

thanks for the tips buddies...

defitnitely my next purchase will be a 1080p which support deep colour

BUT i still trust my very own eyes for verdict... hehe
i will surely know... for sure...what a good picture is

the reason im trying 2 buy a BDP is bcos my PHILIPS HDMI DVD player(DVP3980/98) jus rosak only...

better go get one fast.!!!! hope you wont miss the RM490 deal of the decade

What do you mean? Ability for a display to properly do 24Hz or the ability of the blu ray player?

Display.

At least mine can properly display 24fps as I could notice the difference (smoothness of the frame and a bit slow flowing of the film) on the display when selecting 1080p 24Hz in my media player. Also the PQ is a bit less sharper compared to 60Hz but luckily not "soap opera effect" like video

Yeah, not many displays treat 24Hz correctly.

so what the best "gadget" to display this 24Hz very well?

That's very tempting offer..

What do u mean by gadget? Display? Plasma, LCD or projector?

Plasmas that do it correctly Pioneer, Samsung, V series Panny (X and S do not do it correctly - however it is good enuf for most)

LCDs taht do it well , higher end Sony, higher end Sammy,

I believe LG as well but I cannot confirm. Sharp, I am not sure as I have no tested. I believe the consensus is that most of the models that are of the higher end do it correctly.

Most projectors (1080p) do it correctly. The ones that refresh at 48Hz are not that great, but most do it well.

More poison :

OPPO BDP80

Cheers
D

very,very,very gd info bro...!

Oppo seems less popular..whats the best of it in terms of bluray viewing?

well maybe in malaysia ....

the joke is, you can "hand carry" thru Kastam easily, when they see OPPO they will say "jalan" ( to them just another lousy china brand.... their eyes will grow big if its PIONEER, SONY, PANA, LG, SAMSUNG )

>> DISCLAIMER <<
having said... JOKE JOKE only ar..!!!

you can find websites & forum', verdict...... its one of the best around... $$$ can buy, "at par" or outrun other brands costing twice or tripple Oppo's price, with DVD-A & SACD playback that mostly other BD's cant

i might be getting one back.... maybe "hand carry" haha haha


its does have a forum Oppo vs the Rest of the world

to make one understand more about OPPO spend some time on this Summarised FAQ's
http://watershade.net/wmcclain/BDP-83-faq

and its updated almost daily ( which manufacturer can do that )

Bravo... OPPO support Group

Haha..

I prefer it stays tat way.. de more they sell wifout publicity (except word of mouth) the more Oppo would tend to work on its strengths tat is premium parts(abt chip, dvda/sacd, 7.1 outs..etc) tat gv gud value where it counts instead of uhm 'branding' ..

But of cos..

YMMV
D

Totally agree..branded items are just commercialized for a sake of profit!

haha Best Point & Remark of the Year....

brief example

OPPO 83~US500... LX-52~US250

oppo 83, get from singapura also think SG899 inclusive of Mod... even with tax also around RM2,800
compared to LX-52 RM2,900 ( USD 250 vs oppo 83 USD500 )"double the price"

Uhm..

I tink it would be fair to compare de 83 wif 71 n not 51 - tat would tip de scales towards oppo.. 51 is a lower end pioneer..

Cheers
D

is the LX71 really good ? what's the cheapest mkt value now?

dont really know, in AVS it is always pitted against the 51FD, 52/23FD-US elite model

LX-52 also 7.1, but if really compared with LX-71, then 83 will "un-crowned" the 71, on features and pricing

A frnd bought it las yr for 4k+.. Its built like a tank thou'.. chunky solid lukin bits.. reminds me of de higher end SD 989 dvdp - referenced player then .... until de oppo came out ..

D

one of the dealers in ipoh still have and think its going for 3k+

hi all,

I have a question, can Bluray players play MKV files if burned onto a DVD?

thanks for reading

Bro..My AVR cannot support DTSMA/TruHD but i want to enjoy it.
Can i buy BD player that come with 5.1ch/7.1 ch audio out...Can i feel DTSMA/TruHD

At least your AVR should have HDMI connection and support Multi-channel LPCM, so you could still enjoy lossless HD audio

I'm newbie here...How can i know my AVR multichannel/LPCM

Your AVR user manual should have the supported audio codec indicated

Now i'm understand.My player support PCM/LPCM and come with 3 HDMI input 1.2
