I have this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EUY59Z8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

It is fine for the price and features. It does have some apps, but I've never used them, so I can't comment on how well they work.

Honestly, between a refurb Bluray player (~50) and a Roku (~50), you are going to spend about 100 dollars. I'd just spend the extra ~20 dollars and get the PS3. It is a MUCH better Bluray player and it runs apps as well or even better than the Roku does. The PS3 does have a Spotify app, FYI.

Also, you can play games on it. And it will take up less room and have fewer cords than a Bluray/Roku combo would.

Keep us posted on what you decide!

I bought this one, really nice

u/DrunkMonkBoxing · 2 pointsr/PS4

No, it's a fair question. It sucks because it's slow, loud, doesn't have all the functionality that a stand-alone has no 3D if you care about it and it also adds additional wear and tear to your PS4. The PS3 is actually a much better player than the PS4 but there is just no reason to use either with the cost of a dedicated player being less than a new game.


There are several new (not refurb) at Walmart in the $55-$60 range that are below $50 on sale prices. If it were me, I'd go with the Panasonic or the Toshiba

I guess it is the nomenclature that wasn't clear to me. Is it a stand alone "external" player like this :

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BD-F5700-Wi-Fi-Blu-Ray-Player/dp/B00EUY59Z8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418940758&sr=8-1&keywords=blu-ray+player

or something like this:

I would consider both of those to be "external" vs a traditional mount in a case internal drive. My own personal solution was to get a USB Blu-Ray drive, rip a disc to Mkv, and then watch it from either VLC or Kodi and never worry about paying for Cyberlink or AnyDVD. Just delete the mkv when you are done if it is a rental.

> It's unclear what you mean by "full stereo" and "full stereo surround".

I mean stereo sound using all the speakers. Its got just the normal stereo setting, which just uses the front right and front left, then it has the 7.1 stereo. I ended up putting an extra "Surround" in there where I didn't mean to.

>what is your bluray player and how it is set up.

Samsung player Connected to the receiver through HDMI. Not sure of the audio settings on it, I'll have to take a look.

>basic layout of the room and speaker placement.

Room is 22' L 14' W.
Couch goes right across the middle of the room with heads 11' from the TV.

TV is sitting at the front of the room, center height of 4'4".
Center speaker is a bit low, only 2'. But about as high as I can get it without mounting it above the TV.

Front R/L speakers are in the very corners of the room, they're tall speakers so the directional sound mostly comes out at a height of ~3'

Surround R/L are mounted to the wall, also 11' back. Middle of the speaker is 6.5' high.

Surround Back R/L speakers are along the back wall, about 2 feet in from the corners sitting at about 4'

>First check that your bluray player is NOT set to pure direct mode, if it has one. Sometimes this setting will override the AVR settings. This alone might solve your problem.
Then make sure pure direct/straight mode is disabled on the receiver. Note that these modes don't disable surround sound. But they do disable settings such as EQ, speakers levels, bass management, etc. Check the manual, I'm sure you can turn it off.

This seems suspect to me, I'll follow up on that as soon as I can.
I know its not using pure direct on either, but the receiver does not change from straight mode while playing bluray.

>Make sure your speakers' polarities are correct (the + and - on the receiver are wired to + and - on the speakers).

That I've done.

>Use your receiver's automatic calibration system. On your Yamaha it should be YPAO. After the speaker levels are set you can change the center speaker level or the Dialog Level manually if necessary.

This I have also done.
Though I am not sure, I assume when I go back and make manual adjustments as necessary the test tone volume should be equal for all speakers? Should I rely on that, or should I kind of ignore it if it still doesn't seem right in use?

Edit:

Bluray audio was on Bitstream unprocessed, which I did according to the setup instructions provided by samsung.
Change it to Bitstream Dolby encoded, and I'm not sure if thats fixing the dialog, but it does allow me to change between different sound mode on the receiver now, which is a very good improvement.

> They are both available in comparable hi def formats.

No, you are wrong. You clearly have no idea about what you're talking about. The max resolution of DVD is 480p.

>Get over yourself, you don't need to worry about justifying your $400 blu ray player.

They were $400 like 7 years ago. You must live under a rock. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BD-F5700-Wi-Fi-Blu-Ray-Player/dp/B00EUY59Z8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407899254&sr=8-1&keywords=blu-ray

$50.
