went to see SenHeng, Courts....no more Sony S380 for rm299.

anyone using Philips BDP3200 or BDP3300 and notice whether they are CINAVIA infected??

BDP3200 sell around rm350 (with HDMI cable) and BDP3300 sell for rm399 (without HDMI cable).....both can support RMVB media file.

Tempting.....but scare bought the CINAVIA unit....

Went around KL & PJ area and S380 already no stocks, i caled a friend in Kuching, there are many stocks left but RM399, but no sure the firmware version. Zzzzz

Are you sure? Im not sure they're still producing the x80, they are moving to x90 already. 

I bought 3 sets for friends around early May, All three sets has 0415 fw.


Added on June 15, 2012, 11:48 pm
Btw. Samsung E5300 stocks are dated April 2012 right on the box.


Added on June 15, 2012, 11:55 pmBDP-S485 (3D Blu-ray, karaoke)  is on promotion for RM499 at sony centres.  FW rev. 0427 is not cinavia compliant.

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

Im quite confused with this Cinavia thing. I never play ahem BD and playy any files apart from original BDs on my player. Should i be concerned about this? Should i update my firmware or dont? I use Sony BDV-E380.
*
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.

Phew. I thought if i dont update my firmware i cant play future bluray titles that comes with Cinavia. I never bought ahem disc anyway. Thanks for the info bro smile.gif
*
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.

the other day while at a friend's home, he played BDs via his Pioneer BDP-140.  to my surprise, the player seems to be able to skip the annoying warning from the start of the BDs.

is there a way to do it with my sony s380?

thanks,
wps

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??

non-networked BD players are free from Cinavia? hmm.gif
If that is true, then everyone will just have to unplugged the LAN cable/wifi.
*
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.

Oops.  I think I mix up what cinavia is to the message I saw.  I don't have ahem BR discs - all are genuine lah.

I am actually referring to the those annoying FBI warnings I got all the time.

His bdp140 is not networked at all.

Nonetheless I tried disconnect but still show the FBI warning lah

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.

Sorry for asking may be the obvious to you people.

It's now time for me to chuck away my decade old DVD player and get myself a Bluray player instead. I mainly use it to watch 'ahem' DVDs from Pasar Malam on my 50" HDTV. So I suppose the Bluray player I am looking for would be:
1. Relatively cheap.
2. Good upscaling to 1080(?)
3. Tolerance to all sort of 'ahem' DVDs and Bluray(?)

Can someone please show me the way by giving me some advise? I hope to pick one up in the forthcoming KLAV shows next month. Thanks
*
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!

Thanks a lot. So is this S380 a Sony? And what's the street price nowadays?

And what is this Cinavia you are talking about?
*
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

How do you know what firmware just by looking at the box/player without it hooked up to TV?


Added on June 30, 2012, 5:05 pm
I have a DUNE for the other stuff. Just wanted a cheap Bluray for ahem DVDs sometimes.

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.

S380. I need to know how to check firmware. Is there any code or something on the box sticker telling us which firmware? The staff genuinely don't know anything.
*
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!!

question...ahem disc got true-hd/dts-ma audio or not? tried once on my samsung...seems like dont have.

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
