Panasonic Model DMP-BD85.
Had several decent reviews, has the analog outputs I need. Found several on eBay. Picked one that I liked.... arrived on time. Was told the unit worked! And it sort of does....
One thing it will not do is play Blu Rays. I tried the only Blu Ray movie I had, and it got as far as one of the loading screens, then locked up. Wouldn't even get that far after that.
Today, I received my Quadio Doobies box. Nope. Won't even try and read those. Tells me to "Check the Disc". Yeah, they're all brand new.
Gonna try and pop the cover off tomorrow, maybe clean the laser glass. But after doing a further Google search, I not only find out these units are notorious for having dead blue lasers, but also replacements no longer exist. They might have a year ago, but apparently I've slipped into the dimension where they do not.
This is why I dislike embracing modern technology. My Q8's play fine. Hell, I got CD-4 to work! I have three cars that are still carburetted.
But nope.... can't do Blu Ray. Fook mi.
