any advice for blu ray player purchase?

[polkaudiofan]

I just saw specs on the Panasonic that said 7.1. No. And Samsung is 7.1. Yes.? They both can output audio to a sound setup with 7 speakers fine?

That means no 7.1 analog outputs, which the BDT220 definitely does not have. If you are using HDMI, that doesn't matter as they will all send the correct 7.1 signal over HDMI to be decoded by the receiver.

HDMI, can be your friend. I even listen to Concert Blurays and
CD music, with a HDMI hook-up.

Do not look for any special transfiguration/transformation with
any hook-up, for the overall performace of your speakers.

I eat the fish and spit out the bones - I have owned many Bluray
players, and good reccomendations have already been given.

Sure, or Sony, but go with those that are DLNA compliance, with wifi, 3D capable, and don't pay more than $99.99, if you are not a Costco member, you know some one who is right?

So I ent to my local store and they did t have either in at the moment! Which led to me looking at other players again when I got home and I came access the Sammy bde8500 which records tv as well as plays blu rays. Does anyone have any ainput on this machine? I also couldn't seem to find anywhere in canada to buy it?

Well,after alost tirty posts of people here offering their advice and experiencs, it seems you stillwant a Samsung.

Why fight it? Go for it. Nothing we've said seems to have made any difference anyway.

It seems like, we are riding on a merry-go-round.

You noticed that, too? I'm having that feeling on another current thread as well.

...are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yes, maybe a Ferris-wheel.

Sorry! I do t mean for that...I've actually seen a few nice ones. The Panasonic 220, and Sony 390 I like as well. And then I looked at some bigger ones that ha e more capabilities like the. Oppo for 500 bucks and also came across onkyo blu ray players. Does anyone know much about the onkyo units? All in all for the cheaper option the sony 390 is quite appealing

I would get the Panasonic 220 BD for about $100.

Netflix, Amazon Prime, and just about every streaming service. WiFi built in. Great BD player. Also has Panasonic remote apps for both Android and iOS devices. Love the remote app.

I gave him the link to Costco.com, 89.99 but looks like he's in Canada so the Panny will cost him much more, but the Sony 390 and 590 can be had frequently for less than $120.

What really cracks me up is that i nominated, from personal experience, the Sony 390 in post # 3

Yep, I noticed that, like you said....

 

[polkaudiofan]

Up here the Panasonic is 180 and the Sony 590 is 120.....

 

[polkaudiofan]

I saw That in the beginning. Just so many to pick from its tough to decide the best bang for your buck.......

I'm probably going to go for a PS3 though...
