Friends,

I would really appreciate if anyone can recommend an inexpensive ( < Rs 15,000) 3D blu ray player that can do the following

1. Play Region A 3D Blu Rays
2. Play VCDs
3. Region free for DVDs
4. 220V rated.
5. USB that supports FAT32 and NTFS HDD.
6. FLAC support (not mandatory)

Thanks,
John.

You can try import a BDP from Singapore that will be Region A and 220V. With some luck it will be region free for DVDs and play VCDs as well. With due respect, you should forget about VCD. If VCD is important, you can buy a cheap DVD player in India. You will end up having two pieces of equipment but it will probably be cheaper than trying to buy one equipment that meets all specs.

Hmmm. That makes sense too. I already have a sony DVD player that can play VCD. So I will just keep it along with the new 3D BDP.

Thanks,
John.

I almost bought Marantz from HiFimart. But then saw it doesn't support VCD :(.

I think the sony BDP 490 US version will not play VCD as VCD doesn't exist in US. I will check with the ebay seller.

Thanks,
John.

I think the Sony s490 available in Singapore fits my bill perfectly :). Seems like an ebay seller is selling the Singapore version for 10K

Sony BDP-S490 3D Bluray Player with Internet Function WiFi READY | eBay

Since VCD is still used in Singapore, I guess this version will play VCD :).

I have asked seller for the details. Waiting for the reply.

Thanks,
John.

Indian Sony S490 plays VCDs. I have few movies plus rhymes CDs of my kids.. they are playing without issue. But no Region A playback.

May be the Singapore version may play VCD as well as Region A BDs.

You can check out Pioneer BDP 150 or Panasonic DMP-BDT220. Both of them support FLAC
