Anybody know if the DMP-BD85K can convert DVD to 24P? Anybody know if the DMP-BD85K can convert DVD to 24P when it upscales?... Or is the 24P just for Blu-Ray?Thanks much for any info!

What's the good effect? Is there an advantage in the image or resolution improvement?
577536
I have connected Pandora to BD85K in a minute. It just works. Let me know if you have any questions.
577537
True. Set it once in the set-up menu, then set it again while watching a DVD in the "Display" menu. Very few Blu-ray players support 24P for DVDs.

Does the TV have to be on to play a CD? Because if I am playing a CD and switch the TV off the unit also shuts down.Help would be appreciated
577539
Yes it can. Under the onscreen video options, while a disk is loaded and playing. There is a selection for 24p whenever you play a DVD disk. I also have the 24p set to on in the Setup options.

If you don't have any AV receiver/amplifier connected to your blu disc player, then you really have to rely on your TV speaker. If this is your set-up, you can't turn off your TV to enjoy listening to your CD music.

But I read somewhere that you have to change the setting to 24p every time you put in a DVD, is this true? Every time? You can't permanently change the setting?

Hi Nancy B. I used TDK DVD-R. This was years ago so I would imagine they have changed by now. I had good luck up until the burner stopped working. Oh well I did get most of the home movies of the kids transferred from tape to DVD.

I guess my question is: will this blue-ray player, play regular dvds, as well as others? I'm not that big into the movie scene, but it would be nice to watch my reuglar dvds, in HD quality. I do have an 1080p HDTV with all the works if that helps...please...I don't need a top of the line, just a decent blue-ray player..thanks! Note: I don't do streaming & special downlaods for movies, I just need something simple to use, yet that is good quality. I'm not a techno-person!

DVD are not encoded in 24p. Blu Ray discs are. So it will not play DVD in 24p, but i will play Blu Ray in 24p.

WTH!My HD DVD players will start at the point where you stop it.Of course since they don't make HD DVD any more because Sony cornered the market on High Definition DVD's we're stuck with their problematic Bluray disc players.And why can't they make a bluray that can also play a HD DVD?Anyway thanks for the feedback Knocker!

Does anybody have any insight for how this performs with documentaries? I read one really insistent review that bashes the LG BD370 performance with 1080i, but I'd like to hear if anybody has practical experience. Most of my Blu Ray discs are BBC documentaries, so if it looks horrid, I'd like to know. How does it compare to standard dvds? Thanks!

Hi, this Sony Blu-ray player has a feature of upscale, means that the quality of DVDs played will make it more brilliant near to HD. It is pretty much the same as upconverting. There are no settings to be change on the Blu-ray player since once it detects DVD standard definition movies, it will automatically increase its resolution. Just a reminder that this Blu-ray must be connected via HDMI cable and to a HD television to make it work. -Ely

I contacted Sony customer support, here is the question and response: Model : bdp-s570 Question: When will you offer firmware that will allow more video file formats mkv, m4v, mp4, m2ts, etc... to be streamed over the network connection from a DLNA media server? At this point it plays very few file types. one of the main reasons I purchased this product was to stream video over my network. Thank You Response: Thank you for contacting Sony Support. I'm sorry, but there is no update available to support the additional file formats via DLNA. I've provided a link with the information on the file types that are supported when using the DLNA feature: http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C1017936 Thank you for your time.

I am choosing between the Panasonic DMP-BD55K and Samsung BD-P2500. This is how I see it:For the DMP-BD55K:Audio decode includes DTS-HD Master Audio. Samsung does not today, but they claim an upgrade will be available by the end of the year.Great reputation for Blu Ray player stability and compatibility. Samsung has had a reputation for disc incompatibility, slow firmware updates and some reliability issues.For the BD-P2500:Netflix supportCheaper by about 30 bucks on Amazon.EqualBoth have 7.1 AnalogBoth do DVD upscale very well. Samsung has HQV, which should in theory make it better, but in practice the Panasonic does just as well.I'm leaning Panasonic because I trust the brand more, but the Samsung is still very tempting.

Is this TV capable of "24p"? I'm not sure what that is, but it supposedly improves the picture quality, so, and Panasonic just introduced this kick-ass BD player, which I would sooo consider buying after I get a new TV, since my 3-year old LCD (Dynex) totally stopped working about a month ago...(I'm using my gramma's 14" DTV for now, would upgrade yesterday, but I'll be w/o the necessary cash probably for another 8+ months...). Thanks.

Yes it does "upscale" regular DVDs. Regarding 4K I haven't checked but I dont think it will do.

Brian, I did purchase this DVD player and it will not upscale through component, only through HDMI. I guess I have to live with 480p for now until I get a TV with HDMI inputs.

Actually, the stock Oppo BDP-95 and BDP-93 both contain NTSC/PAL conversion built-in, so you can watch either format disc at any time. The difference here is that you can play all regions of Blurays and DVD's on the player, at least if it does what is advertised. That's an aftermarket conversion - but one that should cost $100.00 or so, not nearly $300.00... You can find the all region BDP-95 for less money elsewhere, and the stock BDP-95 for $999.00 most anywhere, including direct from Oppo.

This is what u need to know. Last sentence is most important. PAL/NTSC Conversion - The BDP-93 supports NTSC and PAL systems for both disc playback and video output. It can also convert content of one system for output in another. (Subject to DVD and BD region restrictions.)

Unsure on the upscale for DVD's, but it will play and record Blu Ray and it works very well for me so far. I have used mine mostly to record DVD's and CD's, also do the playbacks to make sure they are working. It is very compact and easy to pack with the laptop for transportation.
