Looking for a secondary Player - Blu-ray Forum

DangeRuss · 10-23-2009, 03:11 PM

Right now I'm thinking about a blu-ray player for my OT (Office Theater). I don't wish to spend what I did on my reference machine(Oppo BDP-83). But I would like something reliable w/5.1 channel analog outputs and maybe a decent load time I was thinking Panasonic to mate with my plasma panel but it's not necessary. Any suggestions ?

You could probably find a used or refurbished Sony BDP-S550 or Panasonic DMP-BD55 within the 200 dollar price range. These are 2.0 Profile players as well.

I've read recently about a new more affordable player from Oppo

..... I may have to play the waiting game again

I just picked up a second player at Costco-- they have the SONY BDX-2
(their version of the Sony 350) for $179 minus an insant rebate of $70.00
making it $109.95.

Now, you pay tax on $179 which kind of sucks but it's still a great deal for a very good player.

I'll look into it

At long last........My wait is finally over. The Oppo BDP-80, This is the perfect machine for my secondary theater setup. A more affordable full featured universal player with the Oppo badge and lineage. It partners perfectly with my DV-983H, which will still do the DVD up conversion chores with its VRS chipset. The new machine will play my BD's and decode the lossless codecs to be sent to my processor via the 5.1 analog outputs. Plus I'll now have 2 SACD/DVD-A transports for Hi-Def audio. So Oppo you've done it once again & I'll be placing my order momentarily

I now noticed the date of the OP. I guess it pays to wait. Congrats to both of us!

Why not spring for Oppo's baby brother, the Oppo BDP-80. You will be making the right choice. Besides, they should be reunited, it is the responsible and sensible thing to do, lol...
