S485 is RM599 @ kuching, sarawak. What a huge gap.

Looks like Sony Pictures had implant the Cinavia to every BD titles they own.Sure other production companies wil follow up soon

If ur BDs are genuine, there is no harm updating your firmware and use your current player,the Cinavia act is concern to those titles where it is Cinavia compliant where is duplicated as ahem discs or digital media downloads.So in near future ahem disc may face some problem playing on a player which has Cinavia on them.

no problem man.just take note that future BDs titles from various production company will have Cinavia on them and BD player manufactured since Feb 2012 already had Cinavia in it.So soon both BD and the BDP must be match during a Cinavia verification,if is ahem.then errors starts to pop out.

So far i know is that Cinavia will work if the player has their netwrok running into the internet. U can try disable the S380 from any netwrok connection and try to prevent the player to do a Cinavia audio verification to some servers by via internet.see if it helps or not?
Your friend's BDP 140 is Cinavia infected player or not??

Is a 50/50 bet. Why is said is becuase my PS3 was infected by Cinavia since i updated the firmware and the error 3 mag had pop up randomly in some movies ( while the media was stream by my LAN netwrok), it does not happen always but it comes and go.
Then i did try unplugged the network and so far it works for me but i suspect the Cinavia infected on my PS3 is perhaps not matured enough - just my opinion.
My other media devices are Cinavia free so i cant do blind test so hopefully u guys out there can share some experience on bypass or overcome the Cinavia when playing your BD or media files.

Hahaha. Then yours is a complete diff story. Since u support originals, then u have no worries on Conavia.

Also do take note that not only BDs contain Cinavia, downloaded BD material via torrent that has been Rip or compressed also contains Cinavia by default.

If you have the $$ to buy an entry level why not??
First few days when i had my BDP S380, i played ahem DVDs, BDs, CDs, genuine US & UK BDs, all worked out fine. Tolerance lvl for me was worth every cent i spent.
Upscaling for DVDs was a significent imporvement to the PQ even for those ahem DVD 9 dual layer copies.
Would advice u bring your fav DVD or BD and do some test run on a demo set on KLIAV or audio shops u prefered to go.
Do look up for Cinavia free units to prevent any dissapoiment from ahem discs playback errors. jMHO!

Ya is from Sony. Is 2011 model. Street price from 299-399 depends on location, limited stocks left.
Cinavia issue please read 2-3 pages back from this thread to get your answer. Thx

U could ask the sales person to show u the firmware on their available stocks or google on how to read the manufacture date on diff brands of the BDP.

What BDP u asked till they qouted u 500-700?
Staff clueless = bad service ( i hate the most)

No worries man. I m sure when u look around enough, u will definatly find a player that suite your budget and needs.

Dont worry on the sales person, just tell them to hook up the S380 and from the menu go to System Settings --> system info.
Make sure the firmware is M06.R.0415 or older so is confirmed a Cinavia free unit, if the firmware is beyond what i just stated then is a Cinavia effected unit which will have error playing ahem discs.
That was what i did when i got mine and the sales person also don't know much except hooking up the BDP to the TV, LOL!!

Good for u,i had mine as last few units left also in Sarawak.
I went to Kl/PJ and hunted for non-Cinavia units for Sony...all 2011 stocks sold out...now left new ones with Cinavia infected.

I suggest u check the firmware b4 u do the purchase to counter any dissapointments.

Majority ahem disc like those BD does not come with HD audio . It mainly contains upto compressed DTS or Doldy Digital audio which would give u a 25GB BD content.
A genuine BD with Loseless HD audio is 50GB, which why movie lover would spent on. That is so far what i have seen between both sides
