I just picked up the player today on sale for $49.99. When I got home did the code and popped in my Arrow Black Sabbath blu and it played great. Now I can also play my PAL DVDs again.

Well... I guess short of lucking out and finding one still in one of the stores, these things are gone. Sears nor K-Mart have web pages for them anymore, and you can't find them on Ebay or Amazon. Ah well...

When I saw Sears removed it from their website I ran out today and bought one from B & M. I wonder if the price will drop any lower with stock on hand. The day before yesterday the website showed they were available in all San Fernando Valley stores.

Went to sears in Hawaii, they had 4. I bought 2 of them. Listed at $59, but rang up as $49.99. So happy! ill sell the other one or keep it just incase.

While watching a DVD or Blu-ray, the sound becomes distorted after an hour or so of playback. Stopping and ejecting the disc resolve the problem, but it will return again. I will be returning the player this afternoon and exchanging it for a new one. I will report back with the results of the new player later this evening.

Well I am happy to report with some good news. I purchased a new player and watched Rounders the whole way through without any problems. The sound never got distorted at all. I guess the first player I bought was just defective after all. Hopefully the trial and error I have put myself through over the last 3 days will help everyone decide weather or not they want to purchase this player

Glad you found one that works,, beats paying 100s for an oppo lol

Glad to hear that your problem is solved. I hope mine arrives in perfect condition

All 2012 and 2013 standalone Blu-ray players are required to have CINIVA. Any new Blu-ray player that does not have the feature is in violation of their licensing agreement.

Considering it doesn't honor the region code requirement, I doubt they bothered implementing Cinavia on this player. If you are concerned about Cinavia, all older Blu-ray players made before 2011 or so are guaranteed to not have it.

The unit converts all PAL material to NTSC, so there shouldn't be a problem.

That doesn't guarantee it converts 1080i50 > 1080i60. The Denon players that convert PAL > NTSC don't convert 1080i50 material, they output it natively.

Seiki does not list it on their site for some reason. I emailed them the other day inquiring about future firmware updates for the player, but I have yet to get a response. If you wish to buy the player online or get specs, go to Sears.com or Kmart.com. As far as Cinavia protection, I can't answer that for you.
