thks for replies n info. I got a sony non-cinavia BDP, the only thing it can't play is region B, C disc.

Which 3D player have separate HDMI for audio and video. Have an old amp that don't support HDMI 1.4 3D.

Oppo BDP-93 has 2 hdmi out. I was recommended to this player due to my amp/receiver is not 1.4 3D but my TV is. So, Video straight to TV but audio to my amp/receiver.

Regoin B & C are locked and not applicable to our local BDP cause it only supports Regoin A / Region Free BDs.

Briefly tested Avatar 3D on my PS3 (latest firmware updated). Simply awesome...

Didn't get to a point where the Cinavia protection kicked in tho. When it asked to connect to the internet, I simply set "no".

Do the cinavia workarounds on the PS3 work?

Cinavia begins with PS3. However me guess old movie like Avatar is Cinavia comply thus u can run the pirated version. I mayb wrong.

AVATAR is not cinavia protected.

Bro got anything more affordable? For peasant set up le.

For share - this unit have 2 HDMI output
Sony BDP-790
Is there any user of this player, I asked the sales assistant, since there is no button on the player, so how do I control the unit, then he told me everything is under control by the remote control. Is it true?

hey bros,

can suggest a good and reasonable price 3d blu ray player if i dont mind it is cinavia affected?

Groupon Sony BDP S-485 at RM599 for 1 unit. 2 unit at RM658.90..

Anyone? Too bad they don't deliver to Sarawak..

Groupon Sony BDP S-485

two good bdp that supports 2hdmi outputs :

sony s790

panasonic bdt500

if u buy from spore, about s$499 for the s790, the bdt500 about the same price, klang valley can't find the models at all

some of the newer tvs have audio relay control on their hdmi2, u can connect an hdmi out from the tv to an older amp.

Sony Gallery in Kuching Boulevard Mall also selling it at RM599, don't know still got stocks left around today.

Sony BDP S485 which has good ratings & reasonable price player. I got it at @ RM499. Since its a bargain, I got 2nd unit as spare.. Really ...no regret as the price for this old model is high in demand & am lucky as it was not Cinavia comply. Now good price is RM599 at many stores. Originally is RM799 me heard.

BDP S485 is a good buy player for newbies?

If don't mind cinavia affected. I think get the latest model sony bdp-s490 is good buy. Desa home theater is selling RM499. If you always do the dlna streaming, please don't update the latest firmware & off the auto update feature. After I update mine, my sony bluray player cannot read most of my video file from media server, But read from usb port still ok.

for cinavia issue, if i use original disc only.....nothing affect, correct?

not just disc, it doesnt play downloaded rips (through USB) it will not work if they're ripped from cinavia protected BDs.

Hi,
I have checked the s380 at Harvey Norman, the fw stated as m06.r.579. And for the s485 model the fw is m07.r.609. Just to check whether both models are free from cinnavia. Thanks.
