Hello Friends,
I entered the market with the basic intention of finding a DVD player to play DivX files from USB with 5.1 DTS output capability. But after hours of research on various models & going thru multiple thread of this site, I'm totally confused and now thinking of getting a Blu Ray player which can support all formats.
Before going any further, I will summarize about the exiting AV equipment, I possess and my preferences here.
Sony KV-DRC TV:
2004 model
No HD capablity,
Progressive Scan/DRC1250 picture processing
Tru Surround
No plans as of now to upgrade sionce am satisfied with its PQ and Surround sound.
Sony RV999D-Hifi Music System:
2004 model
DVD/CD processing - often have problems reading slightly scratched DVDs
5.1 channel DTS
Dolby Digital
Note:Speaker wires are not of the moulded type. They are +ve/-ve seperate.
Wish-List in decreasing order of preference:
1) Picture Quality
2) Sound Quality (whether can I use the exiting speakers with the player)
3) All format support
Suggestion on the below features:
a)Net TV, BD Live etc:
Do let me know whether they will be really worthy for spending extra on it. If yes which is better Built-in Wifi or Wifi Ready with dongle.
b)3D capablity
c)Cracks for making it region free.
d) Buying in India or from US
Budget: 4-10K. If the extra features are worth considering may increase.
Also like to know whether to buy the BD player as a one-time investment or get a player with the requisite capabilities now and upgrade later considering the quick depreciation of electronic goods.
Do suggest suitable models with the approximate prices.
Regards
