It's HD DVD that has already broken the $200 price-point.
(and before the 1080p BS'ers start the 1080p HD DVD players can be had for well under $300 too)

If I were going to buy a BR player I might as well spend the money and get a PS3. However there are drawbacks to the PS3 as a BR player, namely, no 7 channel PCM outputs. The PS3 does output the HD audio formats through HDMI, but if you have a receiver that's older than a year it probably doesn't decode these formats or has no HDMI inputs/outputs at all.

how does the blu-ray player in this article compare to the ps3?

C'mon people!!! Again; who would invest in ANY of these technologies knowing that the outcome could go either way. Sure the blu-ray player is worth buying.................because it plays blu-rays as opposed to not. However it's best to buy an HD-DVD player as well for a couple hundred............then enjoy those for a few years whilst they become outdated and obsolete with, not only newer, better versions, but the possibility of one or the other going bye-bye and therefore collecting dust. Jimminy Christmas! Do people want to watch a limited number of High Def. discs that badly. Be smart, be patient and wait another 2-3 years for a standard to arise.

Unless you're (maybe) talking a refurb I think you should check again, Blu-ray are nowhere near that kind of price-point right now
(even clearance sale Samsung models aren't that low)

[IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj292/ajhnine/vh_van_helsing_meets_anna.jpg[/IMG]Right now this player sound better than the PS3 but that could change when Sony gives the 1.1 update via Firmware .That update could include support DTS-HD Master Audio decoding.So right now i would say this player is better than the PS3.Right now this is the best buy of any HD player on the market fullHD,1.1,& support DTS-HD Master Audio decoding.
11.12.2007 14:44 #10
Hmmm, so they're moving to (eventually) produce the BDP5000 dual format player.
They already canned their supposedly high end BDP 2400.....
.....and now they're dumping their BDP1400.
Is Samsung getting out the Blu-ray stand-alone business?

this player is FW1.0 correct?
is it true that 1.0 players don't have the hardware requirements for FW1.1?
and is there FW2.0 coming that will add online features? is it true 1.1 players will not have the hardware requirements for FW2.0?
the exception being the PS3 since its, well you know
edit=LOL, I meant 'profile' and not FW
11.12.2007 19:32 #13
Originally posted by sk8flawzz: this player is FW1.0 correct? - I think you are a little mistaken about this.
Blu-ray is supposed to end up with 3 versions.
'Profiles' 1.0, 1.1, & 2.0.
They cannot just be firmwared - although the Blu-ray PR apologists & manufacturers love to imply it might be possible.
Profiles 1.1 & 2.0 require hardware which cannot just be conjured up with a firmware upgrade.
Even the PS3 game console (the most numerous Blu-ray 'player' - by far) whilst having some of the necessary attributes for profile 2.0 (internet connectivity for instance) is not being advertised or sold as being capable of profile 1.1 or profile 2.0 by firmware
(and you can bet if it were possible they'd have been shouting about this from every rooftop going).
Not that it stops the fanboys pretending to each other on the Blu-ray fanzine sites that the next PS3 firmware just might be 'it'
(they're all kidding themselves 'believing' and repeating rumours that the PS3 is going to be upgradable via firmware to profile 2.0 - not that there is a single shred of proof this can or will happen - Sony have never said anything official to confirm this, ever).
Originally posted by sk8flawzz: is it true that 1.0 players don't have the hardware requirements for FW1.1? - Yes that is true.
For instance they do not have either the mandatory memory or the secondary video decoder (which are all hardware requirements).
Panasonic have hinted that one of their latest BD players might be ok and suitably equipped for profile 1.1 but that remains very much untested.
There is not a single profile 1.1 or profile 2.0 Blu-ray player on the market right now.
The only ones looking like coming in the near future are the dual format Samsung BDP5000 & that dual format LG BH200.
They might meet the requirements cos they already have most of the kit built in as they satisfy HD DVD's iHD requirements, which is pretty funny & ironic.
Originally posted by sk8flawzz: and is there FW2.0 coming that will add online features? - No; there's a 'profile' (profile 2.0) which demands on-line features but you cannot 'firmware' an ethernet connection if the player has never been built with one
(which is the case with almost all Blu-ray players made to date).
Of course the the Blu-ray manufacturers all kept that very quiet as they rushed several new players that were only 'profile 1.0' out before the deadline for the new mandatory specs approached; they certainly never informed the paying public they were buying players that would never be able to access the 'advanced features' they were advertising the format with
(can you say bare-faced misrepresentation?).
Originally posted by sk8flawzz: is it true 1.1 players will not have the hardware requirements for FW2.0?
the exception being the PS3 since its, well you know - Like I said if it hasn't got ethernet built-in it's never going on-line.
You might also care to know that Denon reported that it was having problems (severe enough to delay their Blu-ray player until well into next year) getting their high-end Blu-ray (profile 1.1/2.0) player to work properly with profile 1.0 discs.
http://www.listenup.com/content/partner_...adge.aug.07.php
It's not just about the players, there is the discs themselves.
It might just be that one end of the equation just doesn't like the other and maybe profile 1.0 players (ie everything out there now) won't play nice with profile 1.1 & profile 2.0 movie discs.
We just don't know.
But it is interesting that it has been repeatedly delayed and right now they have let Samsung's dual format BDP5000 avoid the mandatory requirement on the basis that it can be firmwared to the required standard at some later unspecified date!
(this will probably end up being ok for the Sammy as it has everything needed in terms of hardware onboard as it meets the iHD specs)
11.12.2007 21:14 #14
DUH!i meant 'profile' instead of FW I really brain-farted on that one.
o.k. that's pretty much all I needed to know about this player, I'm not going purple if it's an obsolete and under spec player. (I DO care about the extra advanced features.)

Not exactly the best rep out there.
Quirky and problematic I think you'll find is the general owners consensus.
If I was you thought I'd have a look on the various owner forums and be more inclined to take their word for it.

Not sure about the DTS HD MAster audio on the PS3. But you have to have a receiver that has HDMI inputs and decodes the formats. The PS3 does have the standard digital optical out for digital 5.1 formats.

http://www.ultimateavmag.com/hddiscplayers/1107panabd30/ - That's the one I was referring to.
We'll have to see if it lives up to it's claims (nothing else has so far).
Sadly until there is any profile 1.1 movie discs out there it just remains a claim...... and without internet connectivity (which has nothing to do with profile 1.1) it's little more than a tarted up interactive CD.
From the link you gave -
Quote:Note also that while Profile 1.1 is called the "Final Standard [BD-ROM] Profile" in Panasonic's promotional materials, that does not mean that it's the last current word BD hardware.
For now, that's Profile 2.0 (BD-Live), which requires 1GB of local storage plus network capability (likely in the form of an Ethernet or LAN port).
No player currently offers BD-ROM Profile 2.0, but again, the PS3 meets the hardware requirements and is likely to be upgradeable to meet this spec.
The "local storage" does not need to be internal. A removable vehicle such as a flash drive or memory card can provide it.
The Panasonic does have an SD card port, which may be used for the onboard memory required for some future disc features (see more on the SD card feature below).
But it lacks an Ethernet port for Internet interactivity (not to mention direct downloading of firmware upgrades), so will never be upgradeable to Profile 2.0.
But BD-ROM 1.1 is long overdue, and welcome with discs already announced with advanced interactivity for these new players to take advantage of. http://www.guidetohometheater.com/hddiscplayers/1107panabd30/

So your next statement is still misinformation on your part. There is a Profile 1.1 player out in the market.
It doesn't matter if you changed it from Pioneer to Panasonic.
You're still busted.

You mightn't like that 'might' but it's clearly a personal opinion and stated as such, I haven't misled anyone.

Hughjars skeptical about BD that’s hard to believe… LOL
This is great news and when I mentioned it was going to happen, BDP’s for $300 or less, a couple of months ago all the cheapsters disputed it. Marketing buzz and a little common sense goes a long way. It about time to consider getting that BDP. :)

Yours must be a very boring & dreary world if that kind of thing really is your idea of "very entertaining".
Mr-Movies.
Let's just see how sustained it is, or not, before accepting the sub $300 Blu-ray price point has really been reached.
You'll not be surprised to hear I have my doubts.
The Samsung BDP 1000 model has now gone, their BDP 2400 model was canned and they're now flogging off the BDP 1400's cheap.
I don't expect any new stocks once these are sold out and I'd expect Samsung to sell only dual format BDP 5000's
(and there are rumoured Samsung HD DVD players - they already make HD DVD laptop/notepads).
12.12.2007 09:38 #28

12.12.2007 10:27 #29
My only beef with the Samsung 1400 is that it's a step down from the 1200 which had the Reon HQV chip. Besides that, it's a pretty good entry level model. I've seen it in action a friend's setup and it compares favorably PQ wise with the PS3.
The Panasonic DMP-BD30 on the other hand is pretty impressive with it's bitstream transmission of True HD and Master Audio. I have it paired with an Onkyo TX-SR705 receiver which does the decoding. The DTS HD MA soundtrack on Live Free or Die Hard is demo quality.

Originally posted by eatsushi: The Panasonic DMP-BD30 on the other hand is pretty impressive - I don't doubt it's a decent player but it's a lot of cash for what you get.
It's certainly no sub $300 player
(and it's no profile 2.0 player either - how many times should consumers be expected to buy into a format before it gets finalised)?
12.12.2007 11:45 #31

12.12.2007 13:18 #34
The HD A3's only $218.60 on Amazon USA right now.
The HD A30 is $239.98 and the HD A35 is $328.
All with 10 freebie HD DVD movies.
IMO they're excellent deals
(and I'd say that those players are a damned sight better than the $269.99 Samsung, which is only profile 1.0 & well known for being buggy & problematic).
But it would be nice to know if Samsung are ditching Blu-ray stand-alone production (or just this BDP 1400) cos it might mean support for the player will be short.
(and bearing in mind how essential firmware updates are - particularly to the Blu-ray format with it's BD+ problems and/or possible pending problems as 'profile 1.1' & 'profile 2.0' movie discs start to appear - that's got to be something prospective owners need to know.
Not that the fanboy element would ever even bother to mention such an essential matter)

Excellent deals indeed, however, when the Blu-Ray camp offers free movies, or ever BOGO deals, every HDDVD fanboy decides that it is foul play, and that they mess up the sales numbers.

Thanks. It's a 50" Kuro. One of my friends had one and when he demo'd the 24fps output from the Panny BD30 I said I had to have one. Now most of my senior colleagues here at work have the BD30 and a Pioneer or Panasonic plasma. To be fair my Toshiba A30's 24fps is also excellent but I may have to upgrade to the A35 or even the XA2 to take advantage of bitstream audio transmission to my Denon.

If you want to hear audio from a PiP stream or any advanced content then you have to set it to LPCM not digital direct. If you don't there will be no audio in the PiP. The trade-off is that you don't get the decoding from the receiver. If you're not using the PiP and you're just watching the movie then you can leave it at digital direct/bitstream. At least this is what I've observed from my XA2. I think it's the same with the A35. Bitstream from the BD players is more straightforward.

It is simply the plain truth that sales numbers (that's actual sales) are being wildly distorted by such deals.
It's also true that HD DVD has come along to a limited buy-one-get-one-free deal very late in the day.
Lastly it is simply a fact that mail-in movie offers don't go through tills and therefore most of the HD DVD deals to date have had less of a distorting effect.

I guess the secondary audio channel doesn't get included in the bitstream transmission then. Am I right?
I've been thinking of trying out a new Onkyo or Denon with HD audio decoding. I've given up on DTS HD MA decoding in the players and I have a few EU titles that have Master Audio.

Originally posted by dblbogey7: That's interesting eatsushi. So you have to turn off direct digital on the HDMI in order to hear the PiP or advanced content. I guess the secondary audio channel doesn't get included in the bitstream transmission then. Am I right?
I've been thinking of trying out a new Onkyo or Denon with HD audio decoding. I've given up on DTS HD MA decoding in the players and I have a few EU titles that have Master Audio.I'm not sure what happens exactly to the secondary audio stream but somehow it doesn't pass thru the Onkyo's decoder. I do get the signal when I use the analogs or SPDIF though. I'll try to look around for an explanation.
