Good DVD/Blu-ray Player Wanted

[The56Kid]

I’m looking for a not too expensive but functional and durable DVD/Blu-ray player for my daughter. She has a fairly large DVD collection that she treasures. There are plenty of relatively inexpensive dual media players, but I can’t seem to find any that don’t get snubbed for one reason or another.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Honestly, unless she cares about Bluetooth, 4k Upscaling, and SACD, the BDP-S3700 is the same player for $20 cheaper.

And there are others on sale there, I just listed two I have experience with.

Ordered the Sony BDP-S3700. Thanks for the input, guys!

Happy to help and glad Ubertrout hot rodded my suggestion and saved you more money on a solid player she will be happy with.

I'm just glad I wasn't rusticated for suggesting not everyone cares about SACD.

I too am looking for a high quality Blu-ray player, able to play Hi-Rez discs, and SACD’s...looking to upgrade for Black Friday. I have a Denon Surround Amp. Any suggestions please?

You’re so spot on with this, Clint!

I really wasn’t getting any traction with my own online searches but I knew my QQ community wouldn’t let me down. My daughter, who’s a teacher, was really down last night after a tough day and she broke into tears when I gave her the Sony. Life is good!

You need to tell us a little more about your use case - are you going to be using HDMI, do you care about DVD-Audio as well? What about 4k?

How many ways can you say Sony, unless you want to pay exorbitantly jacked up prices for discontinued Oppos?

Yes, thanks, all the above. Cheers

Yup, I agree. The UBP-X800M2 is the same unit as the UBP-X1100ES except the latter adds an stereo analog output section, and also RS232 support. The Mark 2 version of the UBP-X800 adds Dolby Vision support, so if that's important to you make sure that's what you're getting.

So at $500, who the heck needs a $2-4K crazy overpriced used Oppo? Throw them all in a tree chipper. LOL

The Oppo 203 was I think originally $500 also, and the build quality and such was better (and it can do auto Dolby Vision). But...if I was looking to buy a new player these days I'd just go for Sony.

Hi there
I have just purchased and set up my new SONY UBP-800M2, hoping to play my two new SACD’s...
Blu-ray/ DVD/CD/USB all play well, BUT there is NO SOUND when playing the SACD’s. It seems to be reading the discs, but no sound! What am I doing wrong? Please Help. It is a REGION FREE player. No message comes up to tell me that there is a problem with the REGION. Cheers
