I get my Kogan Blu-Ray Player tomorrow!

[warrenmoney]

Hey alls,

I'm stoked to be getting my Kogan player tomorrow. Amazon here I come (hope the wife doesnt see the bills!).

Should had it last week but I wasn't home. It's getting delivered at work, might ask the projectionist to hook it up to the digital projector. I'll pop in Halloween (78) and Evil Dead II after work...

Can't wait!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is special about this $250 1.1 player?

I think he is posting because he's excited to enter the world of Blu. OP, good to have you. I hope the wife minds her own business!

I'll be firing it up tonight....btw its 1.3 now and yes region free

The wife don't know...

[bootman]

DVD region free or bluray region free? (Both?!<evil grin>)
Please let us know how you make out.

The 1.1 refers to the bluray spec.
From what I can tell it is not a BD-live player.

Are the two disks you are trying from different regions?
If so which ones?

For anyone else who is interested, I found a CNET review.

1.3?...............what the

[mr.hidef]

10,739 Blu-Ray Discs.............How bout some pic's of THOSE ???

[gekke henkie]

- v1.3 refers to the HDMI-spec, not the BD-profile
- The BD-profile is 1.1
- It has 5.1 analog outs (not 7.1)
- It is region(zone) free for A and B only, like many other players modified by www.BluRayMods.com (The Pioneers and the Panasonics are the only ones including zone C, see their website)
- The region(zone) switching for BD is manual (just like the ones from BluRayMods), but the region setting for DVD is automatic (AFAIK; warrenmoney, can you confirm this?)
- Internal decoding for TrueHD and DTS-HD(HR), but NOT for DTS-HD-MA (please confirm!)

Wow. Kogan is the new Oppo. I hadn't heard a thing about this. Thanks!

I'll have to pick one up when my LG dies. Will it play AVC-HD discs?
