The City of Diamonds.
My Old Trustworthy epic Philips DVD Player died.

Instead of getting it repaired its better to get a new one is the message of the service guy.

Am out of that scene for a long time and with advent of HDD based media players the DVD players are sort of alienated.

Need suggestions for such player. BR capability is not a necessity as My LCD plays almost everything off HDD directly.

USB HDD recognising will be an added boon.

Budget is around 5-6k.

TIA

The 8GB limitation is not mentioned elsewhere, including the manuals. From the looks, one swell player, with DTS HD MA support.

Update: Got the player today from Star CJ.

Thanks to #vivek.krishnan for searching this guide http://www.videohelp...s-bdp2600/11679

Now it can play DVDs from all region along with already region C for blu ray.

Even flash drives greater than 8gb work (tried a 32gb pen drive).

MKV files are working flawlessly.

At 2.5k this player is a steal.

Hi, want to buy one of the bd player. but came across negative revs of starcj. did u have pleasant exprnc with it. how many days it took to deliver.
