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.

Thanks
Reg

I think you would have a job to find one that isn't.

$1,000 for a Blu-ray player..??

Get real....

Do your researches and when you have, make me an offer for my 'spare'
Samsung BD-1500 + 5 for the postage - I will probably accept it as it is not
being used. (Condition all *as new* - naturally...)

It's a *brilliant* player for movies and stunning for CDs but all Blu-ray
players will have slower drawers/start-up times than a CD-only player as
they have got different laser focussing to **** about with, or summat
like....

What's 'RD500' - not a Yam by any chance?

Gor Blimey! It's Dave XXXX..!!

Long time no speak, Dave - hope you are keeping well!! :-)

Funnily enough, I was thinking about you only the other day - all my 'LP
digitising', including the vinyl clips I've posted here lately like these
two:

....comes through that little Ortofon transistor step-up you gave me! See it
on the go here on my MC200U:

(As a valvey, perhaps I shouldn't mention my 'digitising rig' is all solid
state!! ;-)

Anyway, that's a nice-looking little 'lab style' SET monobloc Dave - you
only got the one of 'em?

My website? It's only a page of my 'bikes, my Show N Tell page and some dumb
*manual everything* digital photography (ie pix taken with no automatic or
electronic aids) - no 'audio stuff' these days!!

Now that's what I call a speaker. (I'm a fully fledged member of the Tannoy fan
club)

Still, the Oppos, BDP-83 and BDP-83SE, if you can get them in UK.

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

Just asked my son as he has two blue ray players one installed in computer
and the other stand alone

both allow to pick up from where you last was watching no need to watch
start up crap

some dvd players try to make you watch adverts and copy warning adverts
before they will let you watch the film

there is one brand of dvd player that will you to over ride any adverts I am
sure someone will know the name I am off to find it out
