I am looking to buy a Blu Ray player. My question is: Can I find a blu
ray player that will be as good playing CD's as it will be for DVD's and
Blu Ray discs, or will I need to purchase a separate CD player? I am not
sure whether the quality components built into a $1000 blu ray player
will also be as good for CD's? Any opinions or suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

At the risk of dragging this thread back closer on topic I'd like to raise
something I have just learned about 'Blu Ray' which I find a deterrent to
using it.

This is reports that the discs can block the player from resuming play if
you stop playing. i.e. You are not able to go away for some time (say
until the next day) and then pick up watching directly from where you
stopped. The idea apparently that the makers of each disc an force you to
sit though all the start up crap every time.

Whereas with DVDs I often watch a section on different days or view other
things in between, with each disc being restarted from where I paused. If
this isn't the norm for Blu Ray then I will continue to avoid it!

Slainte,

Jim
