Curious thing about this CD-R King BD player, everybody's talking about it, but nobody's buying it.
Oy, yung mga post nang post about CD-R King BD player, reasonable naman ang presyo nito, bumili naman kayo para makabasa kami ng review ... :D
-

-
Region A and R1 daw only? True?
-
How cheap is it? Even cheaper than LG's DTS-HD-capable P8,990?
-
price is 3,990
-
price is 3,990
:o hmmm tempting, pero sana may magpost dito ng nakatry na ::)

-
Hehehe.. kakatakot eh.. baka after a month, sira na kagad... hehehe.... ;D
-
guys confirm na ito to be Region 1 only? or baka multi-region? feedback naman mga Braders ;D
-
price is 3,990
Sounds reasonable...I might consider this as my back up player hehe ;D
-
I'm also considering this player for my living room hehe ;D..I hope its region free. That would be great.
Nobody bought one yet? ;D..I think naman its a tough player and it will last. ;D Pq I think will be same as the other bluray players ;D..
-

maganda kaya quality?
-
punta kau sa cdrking na may tv tapos dala kau bluray disc and test nio hehe.

-
Has anyone actually confirmed whether it is region free or locked to region A?
-
price is 3,990
nice pricing ;)
-
I have checked the CDR KING stores in Cebu, they dont have it yet. Lucky you guys there's plenty I think there in Manila already ;D
Multi-Region or Not I think this will still be a top seller w/ the price level it has ;)

test nyo naman at feedback agad :)
may warranty naman eh :)
wala ako bluray discs kasi :)

hehe..what if we all chip in 100 pesos and do a cdrking bd player eb. :D ;D The ones who have Region B bluray disc, pls bring it na din. Whether satisfied or dissatisfied, We will raffle off the test player at the end haha.. Loss mo lang 100 pesos either way (ganda or pangit). Kung region free and excellent player, parang 100 lang premium to attend and find out. If pangit, parang 100 pesos gift/donation. ;D. If it conks out in a year, then I have no answer to that haha.. ;D
We need at least 40 people and a place to test ;D haha..

Come on, guys... have faith in the CDRKING brand... hehe...
Sayang din kasi ang P4K if ever na, you know... hindi pala maganda yung product. ;D

pwede naman test lang dun e.
Problema lang kahit payagang ipa-test 'yung BD player in-store, the cd-r king LCD TV that it will be tested on doesn't exactly have the prettiest resolution either (based on what I've observed from its onscreen demos), so chances are hindi rin magiging fair ang assessement. So, whatdo we do then? Bring our own region A/B BD title AND our own LCD screen na rin? :D :D :D

That's a good idea Ray. :D Another option is you may proceed to buy the unit & test it out. Then you can provide feedbacks to all those who are willing to pay P100 thru PM (that's your service fee or guinea pig incentive). I think that's fair. I'm fine with either option. Count me in... ;D
-
haha..thanks guys. Ya Paul I like that. ;D That's a great incentive hehe. ;D
Out of excitement and of course me being impatient, I went to cdrking trinoma tonight and they had this player playing on a cdrking 40 inch lcd. Can you believe it? They have na din tvs :o Anyway, when I first saw it they were playing transformers 2. I was unimpressed. It doesn't look hidef. I asked the lady several times and she told me its a bluray copy. I seriously doubt and wanted to double check. I asked for the disc and to my relief its a dvd copy.
My excitement/urge ;D really kicked in this time and I checked the remote and the player. I did not have a bd with me, so went to Astro ;D and bought 27 dresses. Good thing its 750 pesos. ;D, Meron pa the sale..After deciding for almost an hour. I ended up buying this player ;D..
1. Its a small, light player. The build is parang those generic dvd players - orange, pensonic.
2. Remote is not great, what do you expect from a 4 thousand made in Taiwan player. (sabi ng lady taiwan daw)
3. It can bitstream hd. Connected thru my Onkyo 608, Dts hdma no problem.
4. It plays only Region A bluray, as far as I know. It's also stated in the manual.
5. It plays Region 1 and region 3 dvds. So I guess it's all region for dvds.
6. Menu looks ok, but it does not have a comprehensive video/audio settings (ex. brightness, contrast,etc.) I still have to play around with it.
7. Pq is the same as my Sony 350 bluray player. Excellent..
8. Loading time is pretty slow, I tried 27 dresses and it took around 40 seconds. My sony is a little faster.
9. When you press eject, the front led does not indicate "open" right away, it will take a couple of seconds, so you just have to wait for it.
10. I tried a 4 gig flash drive, Anastasia.mkv (3.8 gig file), it worked.
So far, this is my impressions. After testing it tonight, my verdict and first impression is its a great player. A real value for money. A great backup player. Something you can abuse and carry/move around the house, take it to someones place etc. Hey it 3990 pesos. ;)
This is just my impression, I'm pretty impressed. ;) ;D Whether this player will last? That's for us buyers to find out. ;D But I really think it will last. Even expensive players conk out sometimes. I have some dvd players that won't even conk out, sa tagal na. ;D

Count me in sir...
-
hehe, I went crazy and overboard tonight and went ahead and got the player. I felt a little guilty spending but its for my living room and family members to watch ;D
-
Sir moks007 if you plan to sell it I'm here lang.. hehehe.. some CDR-king products are OK din naman.. I got my HDMI cable from them 6 months ago and it's still working till now...I also got an external DVDRW from them and still working fine till now.. it depends na lang on the user and on how to take care of the product.. as we know lahat tayo here at pinoydvd are taking good care of out gears.. ika nga ng wife ko.. mas mahal ko paraw yung kabit(mga gear ko) kesa sa kanya.. kasi laging kong hinihimas ang ginagamit.. WINK! hehehehe...

Congrat to Raymond for getting the CDR BD player. Because of bad influence from you now I also ended up with it. ;D
My initial finding which is similar to Raymond's:
-Loading time for BD is indeed quite slow but for DVD it's fine.
-It plays any region DVD. I tested DVD with R1, R2, R3 & R4, all played properly.
-No problem with PQ & SQ.
Considering the price of this player it's indeed value for money & it's a great incentive for those who wanted to try out BDs, :)
-
^ Is there an optical out? Or can it already output multi-channel sound from the Coaxial or HDMI?

Nice one paul.. if you guys change your mind on this BD player I'm just a PM away.. hehehe...
BTW nice review.. this will interest people like me with tight budget to get one.. hehehe...just hoping that the player wont conk out easily...
Paul can do a torture test on the player to see how many hours it can last? hehehe... ;D ;D ;D
-
so how long is the warranty?
-
so how long is the warranty?
6 months ;)
^ Is there an optical out? Or can it already output multi-channel sound from the Coaxial or HDMI?
No. You can use either Coaxial or HDMI. :)
Paul can do a torture test on the player to see how many hours it can last? hehehe... ;D ;D ;D
Yes bro, let's hope it can last many many hours of usage...but I may never able to find out cos a new owner may take over in the near future. ;D

Congrats Paul, now our wife and daughter will not bother us in our home theater batcave haha...I can't watch violence in front of my daughter and I can't watch my guilty pleasures in front of my wife haha..Now they both have a player to watch. ;) One of the reasons I bought this player is bec. I have a lot of bd's and I don't want to download each and every movie that I have when I want to watch it in my living room. Also, I have a more comfy sofa there and no aircon ;D, so I can watch outside sometimes on weekends and save a lot on electricity. SARS will never end for all of us.. ;D Now I want to upgrade my receiver there and also those satellite speakers that I have hehe.. ;D
Yes agree with you a pretty nice player for a bd starter kit.
I will do a torture test on this player. ;D
-
have you tried connecting this to your home lan and stream movies from it?
thanks!
-
Thanks to Moks and pchin for the info!
CD-R King should expect BD player sales to spike after those posts ... ;)
It doesn't play AVCHD?
-
have you tried connecting this to your home lan and stream movies from it?
thanks!
;D Sorry I'm really not a techie guy ;D. I don't connect my lan to my bd players. So I haven't really used bd live or streaming. I think maybe Pchin will know that.
Thanks to Moks and pchin for the info!

Thanks sir. So far, I'm pretty impressed. But you guys can actually check it out in Cdrking trinoma, bec. they have a player hooked up on their 40 inch lcd. But make sure bring your own bd.
I have a couple of avchd lying around somewhere bec. I remember buying a couple of discs from Listening in Style. I still have to look for them and try them. Sa alam ko these are avchd format discs.
Also to add, I tried connecting my 500g seagate thru its usb input and it will not read it. I think Pchin confirms this also. We will try again later.

Did a couple more testing. On my way to office.
Will post my feedbacks when I'm in office. Some good news & some bad news... :-[

Looking forward to your feedback Paul. ;D
-
It doesn't play AVCHD?
That's part of the good news atty. I tested a few formats: avi, dvix, avchd, etc all of them can play without any hiccup. :)
Loading time for an inserted BD will take about 30 secs. The longest one I tested was 50 secs. Most of the BDs I tried the loading time was around 30 secs. But if you stop playback halfway & will restart the BD from beginning, loading time is about 5 secs only (the longest one I tested was 12 secs).
I also tested on my existing Panasonic BD65 player. To my surprise actually the CDR BDp loading speed is at par with my Panasonic BD65 player. :D
As for the regular DVD loading, you have nothing to worry about. It's like Speedy Gonzales... :D
Other observations:
-During each loading process, the disc spinning noise is quite loud & can be heard at my listening position which is about 12.5 feet away. I don't mind the noise, no big deal as it lasted for a few seconds only. :)
-The eject (disc tray open/close) has a very slow response time. The moment you click open/close it will take about 5-6 secs before it responses. Parang slow motion. Hence, you need to be patient & can't rush things... ;D
-All discs tested successfully including orig BD (from US & HK), Jack Sparrow BD, DVD (R1 to R4), burned discs (DVD, avi, dvix, AVCHD, etc)
-As for the USB connection, similar to Raymond's situation, I tried my 500gb & 1tb external but the player won't read or can't detect them. Raymond tried his 4gb memory stick & it worked fine. So my suspicious is the player could only read FAT32 file system & not NTFS (both my 500gb & 1tb are in NTFS). This is similar to PS3 which accepts FAT32 only. I will have to verify this after work.
-My torture test: play around with the remote commands (play, stop, pause, fast forward, skip, etc) continuously & eject the tray, change disc, close & reload, stop the disc & eject to change disc, etc...over a long period of time... (I just hope it won't conk out suddenly, anyway I have 6-mth warranty to play with) ;D
Overall, I'm pleased with this simple player & find it to be robust. With its cheap & affordable price (no frills), it's indeed an entry level BDp worth considering esp for those with tight budget, cost conscious or simply want to get their feet wet into Blu-ray. This can also act as a back-up player. :)
With the introduction of this CDR King BD player, there is no other better time to jump into the BD bandwagon & experience what are all the fuzz about. ;D
However, for those who are more into NMT, a dedicated media player will be a better solution. Just my 2 cents worth. :)
-
^
Let the stampede begin!!!
-
Thanks for the reviews! ;D Maasahan talaga ang PDVD pagdating sa ganito.... very nice. ;D
-
Btw, is there anyone that can lend us his BD region B (from Europe)? Will be nice as well to find out if the player can handle BD multi-region though I doubt it can. :)
have you tried connecting this to your home lan and stream movies from it?
This will be included in my next round of testing. :)
-
3. It can bitstream hd. Connected thru my Onkyo 608, Dts hdma no problem.
Hello Moks007,
Does it have an audio output wherein I can connect it to my Samsung DVD HTIB player so that the sounds will play out to my 5.1 speakers?
Thanks for the review...
-
Sirs, what about heat tests? Mabilis ba uminit? Thanks...
-
Sirs, what about heat tests? Mabilis ba uminit? Thanks...
I used the unit for over an hour & the heat is very minimal. Will try to observe the unit during a prolong usage. :)
How about your unit Raymond?
-
@ Sir Paul & Sir moks - nice review po ;)
naupscale din po ba nya yung dvd movie? 720p-1080p?
panext in line na din po sa bdp nyo pag bibitawan nyo na po ;D
-
Yup DVD is upscalled to 1080p. I tried comparing with my OPPO DVD player. It seems my OPPO is only slightly better but overall PQ is quite close na. You probably won't able to notice the difference while watching a movie. :)
PM me for those who are interested... ;D
-
That's part of the good news atty. I tested a few formats: avi, dvix, avchd, etc all of them can play without any hiccup. :)
Great news! Thanks for the detailed review, sir pchin.
If loading time is as fast as a Panny BD65, then that's good enough. Operating temperature is good; SD upscaling is OK; noise is OK. What more can we ask for?
The jury's still out on how long its lifetime is going to be, but I don't think that's such a big issue considering the very low price tag.
One more test we should have: How does it handle BD titles with DRM and/or complex Java authoring?
In case a title comes out that needs a firmware update, it's unlikely that CD-R King will provide one.
-
If its region free for BDs and capable of BD Live, wala ng patumpik-tumpik pa, takbo agad sa inyong suking cdrking ;D
...malamang palitan ko na ang LG BDp ko ;D

Hello Moks007,
Does it have an audio output wherein I can connect it to my Samsung DVD HTIB player so that the sounds will play out to my 5.1 speakers?
Thanks for the review...
Same question.... how do you make the sounds come out of the HTIB speakers? Anong klaseng cable ang kailangan?
Thanks...

"Audio Out: 2 Channel Audio Output

Meaning, hindi pwede sa 5.1 HTIB?
Thanks...
-
@BusyChild/mrclark: Not sure how's your HTIB setup as you didn't mention what connection is required. :)
The CDR BDp offers audio options thru the regular RCA stereo (Red & White), coaxial & HDMI. Can your HTIB accept audio thru Coaxial or HDMI? If yes, then you're in business. ;)
If its region free for BDs and capable of BD Live, wala ng patumpik-tumpik pa, takbo agad sa inyong suking cdrking ;D
Not sure if it can play BD multi-region unless someone is willing to lend us to try it out. As for BD Live, yes it is capable with profile 2.0.

Yes agree. The life shelf mystery is still out there but I do hope it can last over a year or two...by then if it conks out we have reasons to get a newer & better model pa. ;D
Is there any BD title with DRM or complex Java authoring that you can suggest so I can give it a test spin? :)
As for firmware update, I think we can do it thru the player via internet connection.

Paul, first I have to say great review. Regarding the audio above, unfortunately those samsung dvd home theater don't have coaxial input, or hdmi input afaik. Sayang, but I may be wrong. If it doesn't have it, I don't think its possible for them to get 5.1 sound from this player. :(
btw, I'm gonna watch the whole mummy series tonight. ;D I will abuse this player and see what happens hehe. ;D No mede8er for a while. So far watching Mummy 1, very nice pq and audio. ;) ;D
-
My small Yamaha 5.1 HT has a coaxial in, I'm guessing 5.1 output sound from Dolby and DTS sources won't be a problem?
Salamat sa mga bumili at nagreview! :)

Ouch... optical input only for my HTIB.
And RCA (AUX) for Red & White only cables. Sir Pchin, kung yung Red & White lang na cable ang ikakabit ko sa HTIB, 5.1 pa rin ba ang sound na lalabas?
Thanks. And again, pardon my ignorance. ;D
***by the way, my HTIB is a Panasonic SCPT85.

Good, movie marathon! During playback, feel free to skip, fast-forward, rewind, stop, pause, etc haha ;D
We have 6 months to torture it! :P

Sir I think you will only get 2.1 sound.
-
Sir I think you will only get 2.1 sound.
I see what he meant. Yes, if he uses only the stereo RCA, will get two channels only.
-
What I don't like is the info button. It is not very complete. It doesn't tell you the frames per second, what audio codec, resolution etc.
At least it has timeline and chapter ;D
-
Thanks for answering my questions, guys... will be getting this too. For the family in the living room since they are not a fan of 5.1 sounds anyways. Direct to TV audio nalang using HDMI. Hehe. Thanks again. :D

What I don't like is the info button. It is not very complete. It doesn't tell you the frames per second, what audio codec, resolution etc.
At least it has timeline and chapter ;D
Oh I forgot to check on the INFO button. Will be nice too if it has all those info. :)
I usually check those info thru my Onkyo AVR.

As for firmware update, I think we can do it thru the player via internet connection.
I'm sure the firmware can be updated. My worry is that there won't be any firmware update that will be provided by CD-R King.
Is there any BD title with DRM or complex Java authoring that you can suggest so I can give it a test spin? :)
As for firmware update, I think we can do it thru the player via internet connection.
DRM ---
I only know about 3 titles:
In 2007, Samsung and LG had problems with the DRM on "Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer" and "The Day After Tomorrow". Firmware updates fixed the issue.
The last DRM-related problem I heard of was on "Avatar" in 2010:
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/update-x2-avatar-blu-ray-drm-bites-legitimate-customers/8193
Java ---
If the playback won't auto-resume after it's stopped, then the disc is Java-encoded. If the player takes an unusually long time to load a Java-enabled disc, then the Java authoring on that disc is unusually complex.
Disney titles would be good examples.
On foreign forums, many of them say "Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Skynet Edition)" is a very slow-loading title.
Maybe you've noticed other titles that take longer than usual to load?
The Java on "The Sound of Music" is really good. It's the only title I know that automatically auto-resumes where you left off. No need to set a bookmark --- that's too low-tech ;). Just stop playback, turn the unit off, unplug the unit if you want, then the next time you play the title, it cues the scene where you left off.
Will the CD-R King player handle Sound of Music correctly?
-
I see what you mean atty. Let us wait & see but so far very few BD titles that encounter problems. We will see how realiable CDR service to its customers. :)
Oh yes I recall the reported Fantastic 4: RSS", "The Day After Tomorrow" & Avatar playback issues. Will try all these discs later.
Will also try out Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Skynet Edition) & The Sound of Music too. Raymond, hope you can test them out too as you have all these BDs. ;D
-
How about the Inception BD? But I think that's isolated to Samsung players. We had a tough time watching on a Samsung player because the movie kept skipping at the parts where one of the special features intersects the movie.
Pchin, Moks007, thanks to you two. I might get this in the next couple of days if you guys don't encounter any more problems with your stress tests.
-
Same here, I'll get your CDR king BD player paul in a couple of weeks. I'm here in boracay right now with my family and will spend the lenten season in baguio.. kaya I'll be back in manila probably on the end of the month.. BTW nice review.. keep it coming.. hehehe...

I tried na Fantastic 4 - Rss and Day after tom, all played fine, avg load around 30 to 40 secs. I also tried Avatar extended edition with no problem.
The Terminator 2 skynet edition took around 40 seconds to go to the message where it says I don't have a player connected to the internet. Then another 40 to 45 seconds to go to the main menu.
I will try the resume function later. ;D
So far I have watched 50 mins of The Mummy before my daughter bugged me ;D, then watched Toy story 3, now watching Avatar. I do hear the disc spinning sound around 4 to 5 feet away (when I put in the disc, once its playing ok na). Paul, yours will be louder bec. of your treated room. I think the heat issue of the unit is ok. I don't find it that hot. I will find out a little later. The heat is mostly isolated on the right side of my player, the area above the hdmi input. But the player does have grills, like mga receivers for ventilation I guess. ;D

That's why I keep advising newbies to avoid Samsung BD players. Samsung is notorious for playback unreliability.

F4 Silver Surfer & Day After Tomorrow - check; Avatar - check; T2 Skynet - check ... ayos, a! 8)
Let's just hope the studios don't author any more new discs with BD-J & DRM that are too hard to handle.
Noise and heat --- OK lang yan. At that price, it's hard to complain.
From the reports of our esteemed beta testers, I'd say this player is good value for money.
-
To add a couple more ;D. I notice the led display in the player is only up to 4 digits. So if you are in 1:05:21 time, the display will read 05:21. Also when closing the tray, CLOSE is spelled CLOS ;D..If you guys are particular about these. ;D
-
Looks good so far. Unfortunately, my setup requires analog audio for 5.1, so I'll pass on this one. If they put out another one with 5.1 instead of 2.0 analog audio out, then I might get it as my backup player...
Looks like Philip (anya) got serious competition...
-
Thanks Pchin, Moks, and to those others who have answered my inquiry.
WIll try to check the backside of my Samsung HTIB if I have those coaxial connection option. I know I'm already using an HDMI connected to my Plasma 42C10.
-
thanks for the reviews. ;)
-
Sir pchin,
Thanks for the review...
Where are you located? I am willing to lend Region B BDs so that we can test if this is Region Free... PM me sir if you are ok to meet..
-
Thanks EugeneCruise for the offer. PM sent! ;)
This will enable us to resolve the "BD multi-region" mystery once & for all... :D
-
Looks like Philip (anya) got serious competition...
Well...Anya's selling branded players at a very good price....only problem is that it's 110v and region lock. :-\
As for this player, I have a feeling they are the same as teh Austrailian Bluray players, since they came in DVD regionfree.
May I request those who bought to try the remote hack posted below:
1. Switch on the player
2. Open the DVD door
3. With the remote enter 9735
4. A menu list appears on the left
5. Scroll up or down for the region setting
6. Select Region setting and then move right into the list of available regions
6. Select region 0 for multiregion
7. Exit set up
or
1. Turn on the player.
2. Press the home/setup button and release. Enter 9-1-1-3 on the number
pad.
3. "Configure player" appears in the wheel menu to the left of the screen.
Using the up or down arrow button on your remote, navigate to it and press
enter.
4. Three menus appear on a blue background in the centre of the screen:
DVD Region, BD Region, and BD Profile. Select the one you want and press
enter.
5. A grey menu appears in the centre showing the various regions. Navigate
to the one you want and press enter.
6. Exit the grey menu by pressing the left arrow key, then press it again to
exit the blue menu. The screen will appear as it did in step 3 before you
pressed enter.
7. Open the drawer and put in your foreign disc. Wait a little bit. When it's
ready, the disc's main menu appears. Play the disc like you would any disc.
8. Consider yourself fortunate: You're now able to play foreign DVDs
AND foreign Blu-rays on your basic North American player.

my HTIB samsung model HTZ-222 doesn't have coaxial and HDMI-in as well :(
Oh well, it seems I'm not yet going into the blu-ray club.

Nice observation Ray! ;D I have also tested those BDs mentioned by barrister, all of them work fine in the player. :)
I also tested Inception & it was fine too. The Inception BD-Live plays well too without any problem. The resume function in Sound of Music works fine too. :)
In general, I usually don't play BD-Live in my BDs as I find the downloading & waiting time is too long...and I'm very impatient hehe.

This CDR BDp has been performing well...so far so good. Tested all the above films including Inception, all can play properly. Yup, at such price, I can't complain. :)
Last night I used the unit for almost 3.5 hours & the heat is still minimal. I threw in many other BDs both old & new, not a single problem...zip...nada. :)
Btw, it's confirm that its USB port accepts FAT32 format only. Oh well, we have our dedicated NMT to fall back... :D

can it play multiple mkv files in sequence?
say, i split my >4 GB mkv into multiple <4 GB files using a tool like mkvmerge, is it possible to queue all the smaller files so that BDp will play them one by one?
-
You mean sir, kahit USB flash disk na small capacity and formatted in NTFS ayaw mabasa?
Yes, during the testing, I used the same memory stick & reformatted it to NTFS. The player can't read it. Then I reformatted it back to FAT32, it works fine.
can it play multiple mkv files in sequence? say, i split my >4 GB mkv into multiple <4 GB files using a tool like mkvmerge, is it possible to queue all the smaller files so that BDp will play them one by one?
If you can provide me a sample file, I can test it for you. You can PM me for the meet up. :)
-
thanks sir.
will keep your offer in mind
-
For mkv and the other files, I will just use nmt. For Bd viewing, this player is pretty good bec. of its price.
-
Btw, it's confirm that its USB port accepts FAT32 format only. Oh well, we have our dedicated NMT to fall back... :D
I won't count that as a negative. Panasonic BD65 can't play NTFS on USB either, same as other branded BD players.
I also tested Inception & it was fine too. The Inception BD-Live plays well too without any problem. The resume function in Sound of Music works fine too. :)
Thanks for the info!
Take note, fellow members: Samsung chokes on the Inception BD, but CD-R King can play it just fine.
-
I'll definitely get this player..bang for the bucks.. and got a good review from the masters.. hehehe..barrister how's the torture test? hehehe..

Sorry sir, only pchin and Moks have the unit.

My Inception BD is yet to arrive & if not for my brother's kindness, (he's sending me a Sony 470 soon) I would've bought this CD-R King BD player.
-
Samsung says they have a firmware update for that, but I doubt it fixed it because I still keep hearing complaints from other forums over their sammy's and inception BDs.
-
I wonder if this player can read EXT4 or Mac filesystem? :D
If it did, bitrates would not be a problem since this baby already supports plays BD's. ;D

Hi sir, thanks for the info. I tried it last night and it won't work. When I punch in the numbers, the screen will show "prohibited"...Paul have you tried this? I may be doing something wrong or talaga it just won't work
Sorry sir, only pchin and Moks have the unit.
I'm just one of those guys observing their posts. And I also suggest some tests ... ;D
Hats off to our brave beta testers ... ;)
hehe thanks sir. Actually the lady at cdrking told me I can replace this item within 7 days. She said you can change it to other items. But you guys have to reconfirm this bec. maybe she just want to make the sale. Anyway, I had more guts buying this player after what she said. ;D Yun lang when you change it, you still have to consume the 3990 pesos.
Also the best deal is you can use cash or credit card, same price 3,990. ;)
So far so good ;D, this is the first time I really believe in their products. Selectively, I guess. I always have this thought that their products conk out right away. :'( ;D

Regret to hear this. Hopefully Samsung will able to fix it soon.
As for the CDR King BDp, it plays Inception + BD-Live flawlessly. :)

Re the hack code I will give it a try later. Last night I was trying Terminator 2 & Sound of Music BD-Live. Will post feedbacks later.
As for the 7-day replacement period, you're right. They gave me the same term + 6-month warranty period. So it's a peace of mind knowing they gave such assurance. We have time to kill & torture it further hehe ;D
Wow imagine if this player can play BD multi-region, it's like a new world of opportunity! :P

Last night I tested the BD-Live in both Terminator 2 (Skynet Edition) & Sound of Music and I'm pleased to inform they all function properly. :) However, here are some comments on the respective BD:
Sound of Music:
Unfortunately, only the Characters live info works. Other BD-live features I'm unable to access them. A notice appears on my screen "This feature is not supported by your country". Geez...I didn't know there is such thing in BD-Live. This is a disc related problem & not the fault of the player. Anyone heard of similar situation?
Terminator 2 (Skynet Edition):
The moment the BD Live starts in can identify which country you're from. In this case, my location is in the Philippines & luckily it's out of Skynet target range. ;D There is also a notice appears "Skynet has detected program updates & will automatically install them." Once the update is done, the rest is quite smooth.
Since I'm impatient, I find the loading & downloading time a painful experience. It's quite frustrating waiting for the streaming, downloading, etc to be completed. Hence, I usually stay away from BD-Live. ;D
There you go. So far so good. Both Raymond & myself threw in as many BDs as we can & the results are the same, this CDR King BDp is indeed one tough guy! At P3,990 I'd say it passes with flying color. :D
-
ayan na! a very good reason for people to switch over to the blu side

I already have a BDP bought from anya that doubles as my media player since it can read NTFS HD and play mkvs pero hindi region free yung DVD that is why I'm still using my Toshiba XDE500 (region free) for DVD playback. Would you recommend replacing the Tosh for this one? ;D

Also the best deal is you can use cash or credit card, same price 3,990. ;)
Huh? I didn't know cd-r king does credit sales already. Ugh, this is bad for me wallet :-[

ang galing ng cdr king! :D
ang linaw parang branded!

Just be aware of any loose sheets of paper in the box. These may have codes on them for multi region playback.

There's no need to replace now since you already have a BDp. However, assuming your Tosh conks out (knock 2x) in the future, then you may want to consider this CDRK BDp. :)
Huh? I didn't know cd-r king does credit sales already. Ugh, this is bad for me wallet :-[
Oh think at the bright sides, it's much affordable to own a BDp now. Think of all the amount you will save as compare to other brand that could easily cost around 7k to 10k. ;D

In case it's already multi-region out of the box, we won't need remote codes.

I also don't think it will work kc from what I read any remote hack is usually meant for the DVD (convert to multi or all region). As for BD hack, it usually needs a hardware mod.

I'm trying to google, "region free hack for taiwan bd player", but I'm having a hard time finding a hack. :(

Congrat rakistang_jeff! ;)

Thanks pchin. Buti na lang naglabas na si CDR-King ng murang bluray player at nakita ko dito sa forum na ok naman sya. Medyo namamahalan ako sa mga may tatak na bluray eh. Isa lang ang di ko nagustuhan dito so far...medyo mabagal magload ng bluray disk. Di ko lang sure kung ganun talaga ang bluray kahit sa ibang bluray players. Hiram ako sa kaofficemates ko ng bluray disk na may bdlive para matest ko sa internet. :)
By the way madaming stock sa Robinson's Pioneer sa Boni. Dun ako bumili pwede pa credit card. :)
-
Hope it will turn out well Chris. Keep us posted. And congrat on your new BDp
Thanks Paul,
Will do, once our 3rd shipment arrives.
CD-R King's turning out to be one heck of a player!
-
mga sir ako rin po na ka bili na rin po sa cdrking SM southmall. mukhang ok naman po :D
sir ako po yun samsung ko na bd p1400 pinakialaman ko region nya naging multi region po cya ang masakit po yun zone nya po ang na apektuhan hehee.kya ngayon hindi na nag play ng blu ray :-[ :'( :'(nading dvd player nlang siya ngayon.help naman po paano maibabalik yun zone nya

ikaw na!!cdr king bluray!!! andabest ;D

Pansin ko lang, same sila ng setup menu ng Xenon na Bluray player..so malamang rebranded ito ung same na gamit ng xenon?..tama ba?
-
Malamang, pero hindi pa rin sigurado.
Yung mga generics manufacturers, usually pare-pareho ang software, pero iba-iba rin ang hardware. Iba-ibang factories, kanya-kanyang assemble ng hardware + software. Ang hardware, hindi lahat ng parts pareho; pero yung software, usually isang version lang.
Sabi daw ng CD-R King staff, Taiwan ito. Hula ko, China generic ito na badged as CD-R King.
Madali lang sa kanila yan, e. Punta sila sa China, pili sila ng generic BD player na walang brand, pili sila ng quality category (class "A", "B", "C", etc.), submit sila ng design ng logo. Bahala na yung Chinese manufacturer sulatan ng "CD-R King" yung player, welcome screen, manual and box.

kaya ba nya iplay mkv from usb hdd?

Can I ask 2 favours please.
1) Can we have some detailed photographs so that I can check on the web against other countries cheap players. We may be able to use the code if the player is identical.
Can we try to keep posts in English so that I can stay updated, and so be able to contribute and hopefully help.
Thank you.

Another option would be to ask CD-R King how to make the player region-free. CD-R King in turn asks the Chinese manufacturer (They won't tell us which manufacturer it is, since that's their trade secret). Once CD-R King gets the info, they relay it to us, and we leak the info on pinoydvd.
But first things first --- let the users test other regions first, because it may already be region-free out of the box.

Today I tested the following BDs for their "resume playback" functionality on the CDRK BDp:
Fantastic 4
Hairspray
Pixar's Up
Sound of Music
Overall, all the above discs work fine with the "resume" function. Having said that, there are slight differences in the way the "resume" function works:
Fantastic 4 & Hairspray:
Film is playing. Press STOP. Press PLAY. The film resumes playback immediately from where it last stopped. However, the "resume" function will be aborted once you open the disc tray or remove the disc from the player. Hence, when you re-insert & play the disc again, it will start from the beginning.
I also tested both discs in my PS3. Not only the "resume" function works perfectly, even I ejected or removed the disc totally from the PS3, upon inserting the disc back, it jumps directly to the point I last watched...that's cool! :D
Pixar's Up & Sound of Music:
Film is playing. Press STOP. Press PLAY. The film loads & update notice or studio logo appears on screen. Then you're prompted if you wish to "resume playback". The same thing will occur if I remove the disc & then play again.
I tested them on my PS3 but same result unlike the above Fantastic 4 & Hairspray where they would automatically play where you last left without prompting for any action.

*****************************
Forgot to mention a trivial detail:
Usually a typical DVDp or BDp can fast forward a movie during playback up to 16X or 32X but the CDRK BDp can fast forward up to a max 128X... ;D
....that's really fast! :o

But the logos on the bottom were moved a bit to the right to make room for the CD-R KING logo.

Got one unit this afternoon. I popped in my Inception BD and did note it played flawlessly on the one part where it skips on the Samsung player.
However... bad news first...
I can't pause! And when I do press "pause", not only does it keep playing, the video and audio experiences a lag that gets increasingly worse. And it hiccuped on one of the problem points experienced with the Samsung (Arthur teaches Ariadne about the Penrose steps/stairs).
Good news...
If you press stop and resume the movie, the lag goes away. And the hiccup was just a slight one, hardly noticeable. Just don't pause anywhere and watch the whole movie uninterrupted.
I'm beginning to think that the problem itself isn't with the players, it's a combination of that and a badly mastered Inception BD.
Next I played my The Dark Knight and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World BDs. Flawless operation, no problems or hiccups. Interesting to note, the green button at the bottom of the remote is for the bookmark function. Wala lang.
Napa-upgrade ako bigla! ;D This player is really value for money. I'll be stress-testing this over the week along with you guys. Sabi ni CDRKing covered ng 7-day return policy nila, tignan natin kung ano talaga kaya nito.
A few questions, though, since I'm a Blu-Ray newbie:
1. Does changing the value of the Display's Deep Color from 24 Bit to higher make any difference?
and
2. How big a USB storage do I need for the BD Live to work?

Nice. Even the specs listed on the page are almost exactly the same. I wonder how we can get firmware updates from them.

Thanks for the heads-up.
Too bad about the pause glitch. But I'm not convinced about the hiccup. Maybe there's something wrong with your disc. Maybe you can post the time stamp on the Inception disc so the other CDRK owners can test it.
A few questions, though, since I'm a Blu-Ray newbie:
1. Does changing the value of the Display's Deep Color from 24 Bit to higher make any difference?
No.
If your display has Deep Color, it means that the xvYCC color space is supported. It's a new standard published by the IEC in 2006, a color space that supports a gamut twice as large as that of the sRGB color space, allowing the creation of deeper colors/hues. A mechanism for carrying the gamut boundary definition for xvYCC was defined in the HDMI 1.3 spec.
But that's the hardware, not the video content.
Blu ray and HD-DVD specs support only up to 24-bit True Color. They do not support Deep Color and/or xvYCC (30-bit or higher).
Since there's no home video format that uses it, then the display's Deep Color compatibility is useless at this time.

Hi Dan, Firstly, congrat on your new BDp, welcome to the Blu club! ;) I will try out the "Pause" if my player will have the same issue. :)
For the USB, I'm using 8GB but I guess any storage 1GB & above is fine but of cos if you plan to download lots of contents then the bigger the better. :)

I'm leaning towards there's something wrong with the disc. We have 2 Inception BDs, both have the exact same issues on the samsung at the exact same spots. I'll post the time stamp later if it happens again.
Another thing. Does the resume function work? sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Oddly enough, it works on the Inception BD, but on The Dark Knight and Scott Pilgrim, it doesn't. It's all I ever tested up to the wee hours this morning. I press stop once then play again and it goes all the way to the beginning of the disc. There's no option for it in the settings. I've tried bookmarking which seems to work.
By the way, I haven't tested this with my DVDs yet, which are a whole other thing altogether.

Thanks, pchin! I have a good internet connection but I've turned off BD-Live because it's too damned long. And its offerings aren't even interesting. Even then, I think I'll just get a cheapo 8gig USB just in case.

I am supremely confident that there is a multi region Blu-ray hack available for this machine. Just a matter of finding the bugger.

Sir Dan ---- unfortunately, I don't have a BD of Inception. My copy is AVCHD :(

It will happen again.
I did some googling for you, and it turns out that Inception is a problematic disc. Skipping, freezing and audio drop-outs/sync issues have been reported. The speculation is that it's the Extraction Mode branching that's causing playback issues.

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/forum/thread/306692/inception-blu-ray-skips
It plays fine on PS3 and Panasonic.
But Samsung and LG have problems with it, and firmware updates don't solve it. We can now add CD-R King to that list.

I've tried bookmarking which seems to work.
That's the Java authoring.
If the disc is not Java-enabled, the player can easily stop and resume.
But if the disc is Java-enabled (BD-J), the disc will be controlled by the Java software and not by the player, unless the Java authoring allows some player functions to work.
Resume is difficult to implement on BD-J titles because stopping the disc also stops the Java. When you press play again, the Java reloads and takes you back to the starting point.
You'll know when the disc is a BD-J if you see a small animated icon on the center of the screen during start-up while the disc is loading. The animated icon indicates that the Java software is currently loading on the player.
Bookmarking is Java's solution to its inability to resume. But of course, it's still not the same as a simple stop and resume function. Many users complained about it and wondered why such a simple feature can be done on all DVDs, yet can't be done on the supposedly high-tech BD-J.
The latest Java solution is the one that cues the last scene when you press "stop". When the disc is played again, the Java reloads, then goes to the cued scene. But it still takes a long time because you'll still have to wait for the Java to reload.
-
Congrats Sir Dan on your purchase. Nice observation on the green button. I will use that na hehe.. Ya bookmark really helps on blu-ray bec. most don't have resume afaik.

ikaw na!!cdr king bluray!!! andabest ;D
Hahaha.... You are the one! Ikaw nga! ;D

After much hewing and hawing (translation: revisiting this post every day for updates from our brave volunteer testers ;D), I finally mustered the courage to get myself this much ballyhooed BD player from the cd-r king outlet in Trinoma this past afternoon. Oh, and my PS3 YLOD'd on me a week or two ago, so I really needed a player in my room :-[
Anyway, I brought a couple of Region A titles (Avatar, The Thing) with me for in-store testing; they took awhile to get started (a little under a minute) but then again so do they on my then-working PS3 and our Samsung BDP in the living room, so no problem there. After DVD playback on my copies of Saving Private Ryan (R1) and Jaws (R3) went without a hitch as well, I finally relented and coughed out the P3,990.
Will be posting pics and impressions as I torture test this little baby before the end of the 7-day return period - starting tonight, with Inglorious Basterds and, time allowing, The Day After Tomorrow ;D
-
Oh, and my PS3 YLOD'd on me a week or two ago, so I really needed a player in my room :-[
OT:
If you have the time, I suggest you get a heat gun and read the articles (or watch the videos) of how to fix YLOD's and fix it yourself.
Trust me, it's too easy to do to pass on to somebody else and pay them the money to do shoddy work.
YLOD repair is over 2k pesos (4 thou na nga yata) while a heat gun is 2k pesos. Just remember to get the best thermal compound you can find.

Hmm that's strange. In my case, I can pause w/out any problem. Any specific chapter that you can't pause?
I'm leaning towards there's something wrong with the disc. We have 2 Inception BDs, both have the exact same issues on the samsung at the exact same spots. I'll post the time stamp later if it happens again.
Dan let me know the exact same spots so I can try it out.
-

Dan let me know the exact same spots so I can try it out.
It's actually the entire Inception BD disc. Playing the disc from the moment you put it in the player to watching it, there's no problem. And I discover just now that includes the pause function when you use it.
But if you choose to stop the disc at anytime. That's where the issues arise. When you press stop, the CDR king player kicks you back to the setup screen. Play Inception again and it will ask you to either resume where you stopped or start from the beginning.
Choose to resume and it plays the disc where you left off. My player did a few things after it started playing. the sound would skip out. Pause works but it worsens the lag. Now, all it does is pause. It's crazy, but hopefully isolated to just the Inception BD. I haven't experienced these problems--yet--with my other BDs.
So, in my case with my Inception BD: Don't resume! Use the chapter select. Can you try out different tests with your resume function on this BD?
Try looking at the 40:45 mark. Does yours "hiccup"? Now, rewind to that mark again and try pausing. What happens to me is it keeps playing, them stutters, then gets laggy. hit fast forward for a few seconds and everything alright again.
These small glitches happen where the "Extraction point" special feature intersects. But as far as watching the whole movie uninterrupted is concerned, the CDR king player still fares much better running the Inception BD than the Samsung player.
-
Paul, first I have to say great review. Regarding the audio above, unfortunately those samsung dvd home theater don't have coaxial input, or hdmi input afaik. Sayang, but I may be wrong. If it doesn't have it, I don't think its possible for them to get 5.1 sound from this player. :(
Hello Moks or anyone,
Is there a cheap HTIB DVD players out there with coaxial input or hdmi input? So I could buy and connect this CDR-King BD player?
HTIB blu-ray players are still way too expensive.
Thanks.

When Star Wars: The Complete Blu-ray Saga is out na, I'm gonna buy this player.... woot! ;D It will be my first Blu-ray player if ever... hehehehe.... ;D

I think I was there when you were testing the unit bro. Remeber the guy who asked if you had a region B dics with you? I was out measuring the 3 layer rack with wall mount. :)

Wala pang naka test sa Region B? excited ako coz I have a Tekken BD Region B & still havent seen this movie until now, hopefully this CDR-King BDP would be the missing link for a affordable player in my bedroom :)

Hi! I'm not sure if somebody already tested this player for Region B BDs. I do some testing today in CDR king Robinson Forum for both Region A and B and the results are:
Region A (The Darknight) - Works Great same results i got from my Sony PS3 and Samsung BD-C6900
Region B (Rocky Balboa) - Does not play the message is " Region B cannot be play on this player" same message i got from my PS3 and Samsung player when i try to play this disc.
Definitely this player is not a multi-region unless you hack it ;)

Choose to resume and it plays the disc where you left off. My player did a few things after it started playing. the sound would skip out. Pause works but it worsens the lag. Now, all it does is pause. It's crazy, but hopefully isolated to just the Inception BD. I haven't experienced these problems--yet--with my other BDs.
So, in my case with my Inception BD: Don't resume! Use the chapter select. Can you try out different tests with your resume function on this BD?
Try looking at the 40:45 mark. Does yours "hiccup"? Now, rewind to that mark again and try pausing. What happens to me is it keeps playing, them stutters, then gets laggy. hit fast forward for a few seconds and everything alright again.
These small glitches happen where the "Extraction point" special feature intersects. But as far as watching the whole movie uninterrupted is concerned, the CDR king player still fares much better running the Inception BD than the Samsung player.
I tried it out & yes you're right there is an audio drop-out issue after I stopped & playback again. But this drop-out is inconsistent. Sometimes it occurs other times it doesn't. Yes the 40:45 also has a hiccup. I think it's really the Inception disc as I tried other BD & can't find similar problem.
Another weird thing, in one instance, the "disc loading" logo in the center of my screen got stuck & fix at that position while the film is playing (it won't disappear)... ;D

Now maybe Sir Alfie's suggestion would really do the work (Hacking) ;)
I've been trying out a lot of hacks, but none works, maybe it's time we send a feedback to CDR-King and request as Barrister suggested to help us liberate the region (but careful with the words) since that's the story on how the Sonix and Bauhn Bluray players got hacked. An owner from Australia wrote a feedback to the companies and the company in turn asked the Chinese manufacturer who then provided them with the codes, now Sonix and Bauhn Bluray palyers are "region adjustable for Bluray and regionfree for DVDs"
-
Ah yes, I remember. Small world indeed ;) So, did you get your three-layer rack?
The stock that they have will not fit. I'll wait for the other smaller model. Planning to get this BD player too once I've disposed off some of my gears. :)
Keep us informed on the progress of your testing.
-
Thanks Conan...
what is the optical input use for?
oh well, maybe I'll just have to wait for CDR-King to come out with its own HTIB blu-ray player ;D
Hehehe @ CDRKing HTIB bluray.... well, I have the same situation as you... only optical input for my HTIB. Ugh. Maybe there'll be a CDRKING Blu-Ray Player Version 2 soon with "optical input"... Hehehe. I wish! :P
-
Maybe there'll be a CDRKING Blu-Ray Player Version 2 soon with "optical input"... Hehehe. I wish! :P
You mean optical output.
Why not? Their next model should have an optical out, because many of their customers need it for HTiB.
But their current batch of players must get sold out first before they can order a new batch with optical out.
Maybe they're still testing the market.
-
Ah, yes... haha. Sorry. Optical output for the Bluray Player and Optical input for the HTIB... thanks.. haha. ;D

Kung DVD ang source mo ngayon and will be using Bluray kaya ka bibili neto, malaki. Pero if you will be using the same source, I don't think there won't be much difference. Yun nga lang, ready ka na if ever you plan to move into bluray.
-
what I mean sir , the difference of 720p upscaled vs. 720p blue ray , or 1080i upscaled vs. 1080i of blue ray resolution
-
what I mean sir , the difference of 720p upscaled vs. 720p blue ray , or 1080i upscaled vs. 1080i of blue ray resolution
I think that the upscalers in DVD players pale in comaprison to Blu-Ray players.
-
I don't see much difference between my LGBD530 and Toshiba XDE500 for DVD playback in terms of upscaling. Maganda pareho. ;D
-
what I mean sir , the difference of 720p upscaled vs. 720p blue ray , or 1080i upscaled vs. 1080i of blue ray resolution
SD & HD are two different animals. Always go for HD source if you want the best possible video quality for your display (assuming you have a HDTV). :)
-
what I mean sir , the difference of 720p upscaled vs. 720p blue ray , or 1080i upscaled vs. 1080i of blue ray resolution
Blu-ray is still better because upscaling is harder to do than downscaling.
Downscaling simply discards unnecessary pixels, leaving behind only all-original pixels.
But upscaling manufactures additional pixels where none existed before. The software has to make a "best guess" as to how those additional pixels should look like. That's difficult enough for a still photo; imagine how much harder that would be for video.
That's why it's easier to downscale than to upscale.
-
agree.. upscaling is like cheating ;D

Actually, mas hindi pansinin sa VIDEO kaysa sa STILL PHOTO. Kasi moving ang video kaya madaling madaya ang mata. Pero sa PHOTO pag tinitigan mong mabuti kita mo lahat ng imperfections... ;D

What about the audio sounds... malaki din ba ang difference sa DVD compared sa Bluray?
Yan ang controversial.
Malaki ang difference ng audio specs, pero sa actual listening, pareho lang. Kung may improvement man ang high def audio ng Blu-ray, konting konti lang siguro.

Hey thanks for answering my question. I deleted my post thinking na it's out of topic na sa CDRKING Blu-ray topic. I'm such a noob with Bluray... but thanks for answering my question. :-*
-
Ok lang yon sir.
After a newbie asks about the BD video improvement, logically, his next question should be about the BD audio improvement. ;)
-
The sound coming out doesn't seem any different, although the bass seems much wider and stronger.
Stress Testers, did you see the "secret" option in the settings menu? I believe it's either in the "system" or "network" menu.
Go into the sub-options and on the first one you'll notice an arrow pointing up. Push up and it'll highlight an empty menu item. Push enter and it will give you a message saying there's an error in the update server or something.
Hm, does this mean we can update the software/firmware via the net connection on this thing? Or maybe not since it looks like a function that didn't get in on time.
-
Sir, anong difference ng 1080p sa 1080i? ???
Thanks...
The "p" stands for progressive. The "i" stands for interlaced.
If you have an old CRT TV, that uses an interlace signal. LCD screens use progressive signals.
Here's an old CNET article that may help you understand more:

Just finished watching back-to-back DVDs of Hannibal (R3) and Saving Private Ryan (R1). These are on top of the BDs of Inglourious Basterds, The Day After Tomorrow, Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief and Avatar that I've already play tested on the unit since Sunday.
So far, everything seems to be working fine. My only gripe right now is the very noticeable delay in the response of the main console to any and all button presses on the remote. I've already crossed out batteries, thumb pressure and seating distance as the culprit, so unless I just happen to have ended up with a faulty remote, then I guess "delayed response time" would be one of the minor downsides to this player.
By the way, I don't seem to be hearing any sort of mechanical (i.e. vibrating, whirring, etc.) sound coming from the console during playback. Or maybe my volume is just turned up too loud. Or I'm too busy grinning at the great purchase this baby is increasingly turning out to be :)
-
The response of my remote has been snappy so far. The funny thing, while we were testing the unit at CDRKing, their LCD TV began responding to the remote like it was on the same IR frequency as the player. Whenever the salesman pressed fast forward, the player will do accordingly but the TV begins to display its settings menu ;D
I can hear some mechanical sounds from my player but only during the beginning as it loads the bluray disc. After a few seconds it becomes silent. I listened closely during normal operation--based on some reports of the testers here that it's a bit noisy--but it's quiet. It only has the quiet high pitched screeches whenever I fast forward, rewind, or skip/search a chapter.
-
I had the same "identical IR frequency" situation with the NextBase DVD player and separate 5.1 speakers that I bought many years ago. I'd press the fast forward button on the DVD remote, and all of a sudden the volume on the speakers would go up. Or I'd press the 2.1/5.1 output selector on the speaker remote, and the DVD player would inexplicably mute the movie, or speed up the playback (2x, 4x, etc.).
Lesson: never use the same, relatively unknown Asian brand of electronics in tandem ;D
-
My remote is pretty responsive, except the eject. It has a 2 to 3 second lag before the "open" word come out sa LED. I like the fast forward, 128x. ;D.
-
Yan ang controversial.

For me, dito nagkakatalo ang bluray versus DVD or the HDRips na 4-10 GB lang. I find the bluray disc source clearer and fuller in terms of SQ as compared to its DVD counterpart or the downloadable version. I haven't tried a full BDrip file though. It maybe comparable to the bluray given its bigger file size and supposed to be a direct replica of the BD disc.

Another bug!
I turned on my player this morning and everything's fine. But once you start playing the movie (Bluray, DVD, avi from USB) the screen turns black and doesn't show any audio. You have to push stop then setup on the remote to make the settings screen reappear. Play again and the screen turns black once more.
Audio is fine, though.
What I did was turn off the player, unplug it from the socket, wait about five seconds, plug it back, wait for the boot screen to finish then turn it on. Everything came back to normal like nothing happened.
Only happened to me once, so far...

By the way, instead of unplugging the unit to reboot, you can just press and hold on the power button until the display reads "boot".

So does it detect 1Tb portable drives and play DTS?
-
So does it detect 1Tb portable drives and play DTS?
DTS mkv's are usually over 4GB. The CD-R King BD player only recognizes fat32, I believe. If you burn the file to a Dual Layer DVD, it should be able to play it. An impractical solution but a solution nonetheless.
-

Reader or Writer?
-
I purchased a Sony Blu-ray drive (reader) last year off ebay for less than 3K.
-
I have been using the blu-ray player for a week now. Plays MKVs, avi, mov, flac and mp4 movies from a DVD disc nicely. Now I also burn my 1080p home videos from Final Cut Express in blu-ray on a DVD (Toast) to play on the CDR King Blu-ray player and it works just fine. I get about 20 minutes of hi-def videos (1080p and 720p) on a dvd disc.
I am now hoping the unit will last as I am not sure how good CDR King's service support is should anything breakdown. Last time I sent anything to them under warranty I had to wait a few weeks.
Reader or Writer?
I was told it is ony a bluray reader.

Region A bang ang mga labas na BDs sa 'tin? Can this player play them?

I suspect temperature changes affecting the lens......my son and his friends used the room to play PS3 with airconditioning for about 4-5 hours, turned it off and the place was kinda humid when I tried to watch around 8 in the evening....hopefully that's just it. ::)

Lalo na sa panahon ngayon, pano nga ba yan di iinit? Magbabasa lang ako ng libro e parang nag gym ako sa balde ng pawis ko ;D ;D ;D

i was about to buy this earlier, but the only available player in store could not read DVDs! i didn't take the chance. baka may sira 'yung lens.
-
magkatabi ang player ko at ang sky cable digibox namin. nagkaroon ng interference! remote control answers to both digibox and player! then di lumalabas sa TV 'yung player. i had to pull out digibox's power cord.

Note: Samantha with the blond hair on DVD is still there. Di ko lang nasama sa picture.
Is it because the image on DVD is 1:78:1 and on BD is 1:85:1? I changed my display settings to all option, but I keep getting the same image on BD.
I don't quite understand. Though with The Social Network at 2:40:1, I see black bars on top and below.
Nasanay kasi ako na kapag widescreen, I see black bars.
Or this would depend on the TV size? Or is it the same image size lang minus the black bars?

double post. sorry.

Bought this player 2 days ago and its quite good esp. in terms of HD video quality (though it depends on the quality of HDTV you will use, but for me there is a significant difference in comparison to my other media player). NTFS formatted removable flash/portable drives are not supported which is a shame, so viewing MKV hd videos over 4gb is not going to happen in this player, unless you'll burn it in a dual layer DVDr and Bdr to be read as data or splitting it into several parts.
Heat is another annoying thing with this player, ewan ko lang ah pero yung nakuha ko mainit sya. I've touched the backplate and the casing its quite hot for just viewing a single bluray title.
Audio quality is very good when connected to an hdmi/coax/optical dts and dolby receiver (mine is on coax).
DVD plays all region while bluray is region 1 only...^_^
Hmmm no video zoom function in the remote???
Sana lang magkaron ng firmware upgrade itong player nato to correct some major issues and improve overall functions, considering also compatibility to NTFS file format.
If not for the unsupported NTFS format compatibility this bluray player for its price would have been a bang for the buck. But, I will still recommend it to those who are on a budget and want to experience viewing bluray movies in all of its glory...^_^
-
jekoy. Fiddle with the settings of your player. I do not have the CDR-King Player, but since it look similar (the menu) to my Xenon Player, it might come from the same OEM. Check Settings> Display> And fiddle with the settings (ie 16:9 wide, 16:9 pillarbox, Pan and scan etc...)...
-
I understand this player is Region Free. Is it also PAL free? :)
-
mga sir tanong po uli regarding this player. what is the best Display setting when you played BD....HDMI auto ba o choose d best resolution...HD ready lang po yung LCD ko
-
Is it region free B?
-
mga sir tanong po uli regarding this player. what is the best Display setting when you played BD....HDMI auto ba o choose d best resolution...HD ready lang po yung LCD ko
Alamin mo kung ano ang pixel resolution na kaya ng LCD mo. Nasa manual yan. 1080p? 1080i? 720p? 720i? Etc.
Kung HD ready sya, likely that means 720p ang resolution nya (or 480p. You have to find out). A Full HD monitor is 1080p.
Pero kung hindi mo talaga alam, i-HDMI Auto mo na lang. Pero mas mabuti kung eksakto yung setting mo.
-
Is it region free B?
Locked to Region A BDs.
-
Mga masters, sa mga nakabili na din po netong cdrking bluray player, I've experienced screen corruptions and pixelated artifacts when playing mkv 1080p movies in my hdtv, tried switching resolution from 780i/p to full 1080i/p still screen corruption occurs. Does the encoding on the mkv causes this problem?
btw playing bluray titles in 1080p works flawlessly, just tried Cloudy with a chance of meatballs bdjava and it works great but the menu is kinda slightly lagging siguro dun sa intense java encoded features nya.

Aaargh! Happened to me too, about 2-3 days ago >:(
In my case, though, I didn't bother unplugging it, as I was already on my way out to work. I just popped in another title once I got back home later in the evening, crossed my fingers, muttered a silent prayer or two, and... voila, back to normal ;D
-
You may also press press and hold the power button until the CD-R King Boot screen reappears. Everything works fine after that.

Hello, guys
I'm new here. I'm planning to buy a NAS (network attached storage) - still looking but eyeing on Western Digital My Book World Edition II.
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=290
Now since this player has an ethernet port (a.k.a LAN port), does this support video streaming (e.g. AVI) via network? Basically, all my videos will be stored in my NAS server. Can someone test this? THank you!

Yes, this is related. Sorry I forgot to mention the I was referring to the CDRKing Bluray Player. Can someone test this please?
For those who are still confused: I just wanted to know if the player can stream movies (e.g. AVI file types..etc) over the network from a media server located on the local network. It's more of a DLNA type of functionality. I know that this device is not DLNA certified (according to CDrking website) but I'm asking if there are any workarounds. Thanks in advance!

You'll probably need an app for that. Just stick in an 8gb USB and you're good to go.

App? Like Optware? I don't think this machine is running on Linux kernel or similar... Unless you're referring to something else. Please enlighten me. :)
The workaround that I was asking is that if this device can discover other devices in the network and can access folder shares (e.g. SMB, NFS..etc). DLNA is too much for 4k but, again, I'm asking if there are any workarounds available to those who acquired this thing already.
-
I dunno, dude. I use Samsung's PC Share Manager to connect my PC to my TV so I can run my video file. the manual doesn't say that you can attach a NAS to the player or any similar functionality. Only that you can stick removable storage to it for playing of files and for the BD Live.

Just bought one an hour ago. The cdrking in sm san Lazaro didn't have a tv to test it on, kaya "test if mag power sya" ang only option. Anyway, nag power naman and nag open yung tray. Paguwi ko i played my ratatouille blu-ray, nag play naman. Unfortunately, ayaw magstop, the player won't respond to the remote, not even the buttons on the player work (except for the power button). Kainis, I'm going back tomorrow to have it replaced.

Sir friendly reminder. This player can read USB devices in FAT32 not NTFS. This means that you cannot play movies higher than 4GB. that is the limitation of fat32. you are limited with Blu-ray rip movies lang.. most of the HD movie with good audio quality has a higher capacity. you can get the HD video but not the audio most likely the audio available will be in AAC format..

If the file size is over 4GB but less than 8GB, your best bet is to burn it on to a dual-layer DVD.

Gagana talaga ang 750gig external drive, FAT32 formatted. Pero yung size per movie file should not exceed 4gig minus 1 byte para makopya papunta sa FAT32 external drive.
If the file is bigger than that size, hindi mo puwedeng kopyahin sa FAT32 external drive.

None.
But I'm thinking BD-R's are the only way to play large filesizes on this player.

Does it support multi-channel flac? Im thinking of getting one soon, hopefully it can accept streaming, or recognize network drives/nas as local drive. :)

I'll try to find my BD-R copy of Robin Hood (2010) starring Russel Crowe, although I do remember encountering intermittent framerate (i.e. stuttering) issues with it when I first played it on my PS3.

i'm still planning to get this cheap amazing BD player, i wonder what DTS variant is this player capable of decoding? does it only support the basic DTS core stream?
-

Plus 1000+ on this! I've been contemplating with this player if it can stream and access network resources (e.g. NAS - network attached storage).
Can someone test please? ;D
-
None.

Tested a couple of BD-Rs and all played fine. It even played some BD-Rs that my PS3 Slim would not play.

Some of the PBD in the market used BD-R & they all playback without any problem ;)

Sadly, there does not seem to be an option to scan the network, or to map drives. If you're looking for a bluray player that can do this, your best bet is a PS3.
On a happy note, it can play my BD-R backup of Resident Evil Afterlife which is Cinavia protected. It seems this player currently does not implement the Cinavia detection scheme.

Hello, guys
I'm new here. I'm planning to buy a NAS (network attached storage) - still looking but eyeing on Western Digital My Book World Edition II.
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=290
Now since this player has an ethernet port (a.k.a LAN port), does this support video streaming (e.g. AVI) via network? Basically, all my videos will be stored in my NAS server. Can someone test this? THank you!
-
Good to hear all the feedback. It seems that this player currently trumps the branded ones in terms of functionality. At its price, I don't think any other player comes close in terms of functionality.
-
One glaring con: No one knows how to upgrade the firmware, if needed.

It can't recognize NTFS drives, which my LG BD550 does. So how can you claim it trumps branded players? It's cheap yeh, and has no competition in it's price level.

Didn't know that there was a branded player out there which could read NTFS drives. I'll just call it the current bang-for-the-buck choice for BD-players then. ;)
Btw, has anyone tried ext3/ext4 support on the CD-R King bd player?
-
1 question on this units DVD upscaling. Is the DVD upscaling comparable to a pioneer DVD upscale player?
I just hope soon CD-R King will sell a blu ray player with wifi capabilities and built in digital recorder hard drive. I guess this is asking for too much! ;D Nonetheless, I will get and buy this player soon!
-

Most mainstream branded BD players can read NTFS drives. My Samsung C5500 can do so, without the problems experienced with the Inception BD (from page 4 ata). But one minor issue I have is that its less forgiving compared to playing media files from my Xtreamer.
-
Btw, has anyone tried ext3/ext4 support on the CD-R King bd player?
This would be interesting, if it does. (I know for a fact that the Promac HDV-1000s media player and streamer fully reads my seagate 320GB portable drive with an ntfs, and two ext3 linux partitions.)
-
mainstay na sa front page tong CDR king BD player ah. thinking of getting one na din. :)
-
oo nga eh. MUkhang stable.
Kulang na lang unlock

Pity that it's NOT multi-region Blu-ray, that would be the only reason I would ever consider buying this player.

Let's be real here, apart from the Branded items, all their stuff is cheap Chinese mass produced "Crap". Most of their stuff dies or falls apart 24 hours after there warranty ends (strange that hey?)

True. I think I'm lucky, though. This BD player of theirs is performing exactly the way I want it with very little issue, if you could call it that. This will do until I get a serious player. Maybe a PS3 in a few months.
Then again, my brother just got a pair of Micro SD cards from them that didn't work. He returned them in exchange for another mem card. May sukli pa. ;D
Point being, treat these guys as our local version of Radio Shack. If you need something essential, get a reliable brand from another merchant. I often just get products from them which I combine for DIY projects.

The second from last time I went into my local CDR King there were 7 members of staff all ignoring me so being a proud Brit I shout out loudly "When I walk into a store I expect to be fucking served, doesn't anyone want my Fucking money?" Needless to say they came a running. The last time I visited the same branch they came straight up to me without having to be asked. Nuff said.

Yeah, the system now is you fall in line in the designated queue area, else, they'll assume you're just browsing and will leave you alone.

yup....may number na sila tulad sa ibang banks hehehehe

i think not all branch have that number queing system ;D

pano sir if meron ka lang gusto tingnan, kelangan pa rin pumila kahit di ka sure na bibilhin ung item?

just got back from waltermart pasong tamo branch ...meron parin number
-
Ang palpak lang ng numbering system at queuing nila... Kahit na mag-i-inquire ka lang kailangan mo pang pumila, pagdating ng turn mo wala pala hinahanap mo, bad trip yun... pwede ka naman sagutin ng "meron" o "wala" in the first place... it happened to me at the Glorieta Branch, i also shouted at them na "Ang tanga-tanga ng gumawa ng sistema nyo!!!"
Magtatanong ka lang kung "meron ba nito + item?", di ka sasagutin kung meron o wala, pumila ka daw muna.. di ba bad trip pagkatapos mo pumila ng mahaba then wala pala in the end hinahanap mo... >:(
-

Di ko alam. Di naman ako tiga-CDR-King ;D Usually kapag nandun na ako, alam ko na kailangan ko. Tapos kung wala ako makita sa mga naka-display tinatanung ko dun sa dudong/neneng na nakatambay sa tech support. Kung wala ako matanungan at wala sa display yung hanap ko, alis na ako. Usually naman kapag wala sa display, wala talaga at wala nang silbi ang pumila para lang magtanong. Haba kaya ng pila palagi.
-
hmmm...mukhang ang susi talaga jan ay ung P.O.S.
as i've pointed out in the other thread nakapa-ironic na binebenta na nila lahat ng bagay na na-"reverse engineer" ng china, pero di cla mgkaroon ng sariling barcode scanner.
kaso sabi nga daw ng isang member ay ung "hardware method" talaga ang practice ng business owner kaya mukhang mahirap daw baguhin un.
so tiis tiis na lang tayong mga customer sa ganyang sistema kung number ba talaga o pipila..

Sorry I disagree with you. I like their numbering system. I want people to be disciplined in this country and I think this is a great way to do it. I don't care if somebody is asking a question, you have to line up. If we implement a system where people will eventually get disciplined, they will get used to it. The mistake of cdrking is that they should have a customer service where people can just inquire there if they have the item or not.
Ot na ito pero related naman sa queueing: Its 2011, and still this "only in the phils ways" are still there. Recently, i was in the airport in Vancouver for check in, and suddenly these two filipina ladies just cut in front of me. I sounded off "typical talaga, ano ba yan" of course to no avail. I told my wife "baka mga politicians chicks mga ito" ::) Before (early 90's) I always raise hell and tell these people off, but now I don't even bother. I really don't know why. Maybe bec. if I sounded off ako pa ang mukhang mayabang sa mga ibang pinoy or others. Diba? ::)
Another instance is when I was driving there, I tried to turn left on the second lane and my sisters (from america) shouted at me and told me to do a u-turn. I wanted to do Phil style driving, I'm not used to the american driving ways na. ;D Kahit its so darn far to do the u-turn I had to do it. That is the discipline we need. Why are we disciplined when we are abroad? Kasi nahiya tayo, takot mahuli!! Pero here we have a "pakialam ko sayo attitude, basta mauna ako" >:(
Peace!!
Anyway for 3990 pesos, I think its a good buy for people who want to go blu or for 2nd player, especially for living room or the kids room.
-
you can always call to inquire if they have the item you are looking for. i did that when i was looking for this blu-ray player. wala kasi noon sa sm north at trinoma, so i had to look for it in other branches na malapit sa area ko. good thing na mayro'n silang number ng every branch.

Only in the Philippines ;D
huh? ??? sorry, i don't like this phrase at all.

I have to agree. I've been to other countries where the service is equally as appalling. Cultures may be different but, at their core, people are the same everywhere.

one time bibili ako ng Blank Dvd, nagtatanong pa lang sabi nung supervisor pila muna, so pumili naman ako.
Then after mga 10mins sa pila, may isang lumapit at nagtanong sa same supervisor, and wallah, hinayaan na rin na bumili at the same time. sa inis ko, medyo mataas pero pro pa rin na tono, sabi ko kala ko ba may pila, sinagot ako na kanina pa raw yun, sabi ko ako ang kanina pa dito eh, nakita ko nung dumating yan.
sabi nung sup, sige sir dito na po kayo. Ang sagot ko: Hinde, dito mo ko pinapila diba, dito ka pumunta.
CDR King (Pavilion Mall , Laguna)
pero in fairness, hindi lahat ng CDR king ganun. Gusto ko service ng CDR King, Pacita, Laguna
Back to topic.
sana ma-unlock na ito soon... if it does get unlocked, i'd definitely grab one

Does this player support the SRT files? Will it show the SRT subtitles while watching the video file? Coz I'm thinking of burning my video files to a DVD since it doesn't support NTFS flash drives. TIA.

Agree!
I was looking for a Ceiling Mount for my Projector a coupleof months ago, saw the item in their website. says "On Stock". Called their Number in the website to inquire what branches do they have that Item. They said in Trinoma Branch [The Big one located outside the Mall].
So my Mom went there and inquired for the Product. The people there said that "Out of Stock or Wala po dito sa Branch namin ma'm"... So my Mom called me and i talked to their supervisor..telling them that i already called their hotline to confirm that the product is in their Branch... He told me to wait for a minute or two... THEN LO & BEHOLD! they actually have the product in hand!
Lesson: Call beforehand [if you can] to know what branch has the item you are looking for, IF i wasn't able to call them before then i would have believed them saying that they don't have that item in their Branch..forcing me to keep looking elsewhere..
ON TOPIC:
Cool, will probably buy that Player for Room use...haha..

I burned some data DVDs and tried it out on this player. Although it can read most of them, it was unable to read some MKV files which clearly plays on my PC using the same DVD. Also, the subtitles are not shown even though I have the SRT files on the folder (and subs also show when played on PC). Is there a setting that I need to configure on this player so that the subs will appear? Need your help guys. TIA!
-
^ Have you tried renaming the SRT file to the exact name of the movie file? :)
-
Yes that's done. Like I said the subs are appearing properly when the burned DVD is played on a PC, but it's not on this player. Even my Transformers MKV file (burned on DVD) which has embedded subs are not appearing even though I set the subs to the 4 languages available, using the remote. Did you guys experience this before?
-
Any idea if the player plays .srt files while a DVD is playing? I want to play my Japanese DVD in it but there are no English subtitles. I might consider importing a Swedish film as well pero wala ding English subtitles yung BD.
-
Looks like it doesn't support SRT files on a burned DVD as far as my experience goes. Too bad. :(

Planning to buy a CDRking BD Player by monday...ano kaya maganda sa dalawa 160 o 190? comments nman po mga master:))
-
I've been using the 160 for a few months now with no major issues. I have the coaxial connected to my Yamaha 5.1 system and everything sounds great. The only issue is the firmware update, there seems to be none available.
Based on the product pages, the remote controllers for the 160 and 190 are exactly the same. Di ko lang alam kung pareho GUI nila.
-
Hmmm... Sana naman region free para makaplay ako ng regionfree discs...
Ok, I just have to ask. Noob na kung kung noob pero hindi ko talaga alam. Hehe. So, diba Region A yung CDRking Bluray Player sa BD, kapag region free disc (like yung mga binebenta sa marketplace), hindi magpe-play? Thanks sa sasagot.

Baka yung Kingstronic lang ang talagang region-free.
Ang Kingstronic K-BD160, region-free sa specs. Pero yung CD-R King BDP-160, confirmed na region-locked:
Hi! I'm not sure if somebody already tested this player for Region B BDs. I do some testing today in CDR king Robinson Forum for both Region A and B and the results are:
Region A (The Darknight) - Works Great same results i got from my Sony PS3 and Samsung BD-C6900
Region B (Rocky Balboa) - Does not play the message is " Region B cannot be play on this player" same message i got from my PS3 and Samsung player when i try to play this disc.
Definitely this player is not a multi-region unless you hack it ;)
Based on that, I guess the CD-R King BDP-190 is also region-locked.

get this if you have lots of BD discs and low on cash....otherwise, go for an LG brand or an NMT

Got the 190 a few days ago....plays all my ;Dmkv-burned dvds! yup still no support for ntfs drives. cheapest bluray player out there!
-
Has anybody been able to check if this player can recognize EXT3/EXT4 filesystems (linux)?
The significance of this is that you could then play files larger than 4GB.

Update: the 190 is region-free for dvds! played my region 1,2,3 dvds!

the hp bd-2000 can play mp4, mkv both from burned dvd and thru usb. it recognizes external hdd with fat32 format. haven't tried it yet with ntfs kung madedetect. no problems playing hi def movies(both 720p and 1080) on mkv format...i only noticed that pixelated ang ilang video if sd ang resolution but if hd ang source no problem so far ...it plays them smoothly...have any idea mga sirs why pixelated ang ibang sd movies?thanks po.

Maybe it doesn't upscale vids played through the USB port.

ano difference ng bd2000 sa bd190 parang wala naman in terms of specs....

may point ka dun sir...i will try playing the file from a burned disk and will see if it'll make a difference.

Look a few post above. It's being discussed on this thread, most reviews on other sites, seems to indicate, it's not a great player made by Lite-On. MY feeling (note that I do not own either player) is the the CD-R King branded might be a better choice, since it look like a newer model (unlike HP's which might be an inventory-clearing sale from HP which CD-R King snapped up at bargain price)...
-
Hello, guys.
I bought the cd-r king BDP-190 last Sept. 13. I agree that this is an excellent buy for the money.
I'm satisfied but not ecstatic about the purchase as it is far from being perfect.
So far it plays all the dvd discs I have thrown at it including one that my Pioneer DV-220v could not play after some electrical glitch caused its region-free programming to be messed up.
I don't have many BD but I suppose from the previous posts that there is not much of a problem there.
There is, however, one possible flaw that I have noticed. Some large mkv files (more than 4 GB) burned to dual-layer dvd-r cannot be read/accessed by the player. When I load them to the player, the player ejects the dvd-r discs.
I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the player or the way the dvd-r is burned. The DVD-Rs that were not read were burned using Roxio while the one that was read was burned using Nero.
Has anyone here tried burning large mkv files to dual-layer dvd discs and played them using the player?
BTW, I bought mine from CD-R King at Asiatown I.T. Park in Cebu City.

I only have a Panasonic BD player, and it can't read mkv on disc. I don't think your player can do it either.
I suggest that you convert mkv to AVCHD format, burn on a DVD disc, then play on your BD player. That's what I do.
For conversion, I use multiAVCHD: http://multiavchd.deanbg.com/ . It's the best AVCHD authoring software, and it's free.
For burning, I use ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/ . It's the best burner, and it's also free.
-
Sirs,
Tested all my dual-layer burned mkvs 6-8GB files, except for Fast and Furious which stuttered
a bit, all played fine in my bdp-190...
-
Update:
I found out that what I thought was the player's flaw was actually my fault.
What I inadvertently did was burn a .m2ts file to a disc and presumed it was .mkv.
BDP-190 played my other dual-layer discs with .mkv in it.
So far, I'm very happy with the cd-r king bluray player.
And, barrister, may be it's time to upgrade your Panasonic which can't play mkv to a CD-R King bluray player. ;D
-

I think you're right ... :(
-
I've had the 160 for a few months now and it's performing as expected. Hope it lasts a year, fingers crossed.
-
pwede din po ba to for videoke? ;D
-
I know that Moks said that his BDP-160 can bitstream DTD-HD MA.
I myself can confirm that my BDP-190 bitstreams Dolby TrueHD. I'm new to BD and I still don't have a disc that has DTS-HD MA in it so I can't test my BDP-190.
My question is, can it (BDP-190) bitstream DTS-HD MA from an MKV file? Or is DTS-HD MA bitstreaming from MKV not yet a possibility regardless of the player?
I have a MKV file that has DTS-HD MA. My computer plays it and recognizes the lossless codec in PowerDVD 10 Ultra. However, when I burned it to DVD and played it in the BDP-190, the video is fine but there is no sound. My Denon receiver only indicates DTS and not DTS-HD MA. But the DVD plays fine in PowerDVD lossless audio and all.
Has anyone experienced this or knows why?

Can multiavchd encode DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD?
-
No.
It can handle a DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD input. But it can only encode the DTS-HD core or the Dolby 640 kbps track.
-
Thanks. I guess MKV is better then in that regard.
If only I could make the BDP-190 to play the DTS-HD MA from the MKV file.
-
I guess MKV is better then in that regard.
Not necessarily "better."
The AVCHD format is stricter, for the purpose of making playback more reliable. The MKV format is more flexible, but it's precisely this flexibility that can cause more playback problems.

Well guys the worst just happened:
Born 04-05-2011
Died 10-03-2011
My player just conked out on me last night. I tried testing it again this morning and it worked fine. However, this evening it keeps freezing up on me. Once it freezes up, nothing will work, I have to pull the plug. Oh well. :'( :'( The worst is I rarely use this player. I just use it as backup. I will take it back to cdrking while its still within the 6 month warranty. I seriously doubt its the hdmi, hdmi switcher, bada conditioner or my receiver. I'm tired of testing it over and over again. So I will just take it back for repair.
Bottom line: What a piece of crap!!!!! For me anyways.
-
Last resort, I tried the lens cleaner again. Actually cleaned the lens already last night. Tried it again, let's see.

Keep us posted moks007. I was actually considering this as a back-up player as well. Hope the lens cleaning will help.

Keep us posted moks007. I was actually considering this as a back-up player as well. Hope the lens cleaning will help.
The lens cleaning did not help. I took it back yesterday, just in time for the 6 month service warranty. It will be out for 3 to 4 weeks. Considering the price its really a good backup player. The big question is just durability. Well mine lasted just 6 months. Frustration sinks in and of course the possibility of money being wasted. But hey that is the risk I took buying this player. I really took a chance. :'( :(
Will I recommend buying one after all this? NO, but mine could be the "one in a million" that conked out. The market for this player is too small to look, see or compare the percentages that conked out. I would rather buy the cheapest LG, sony or panasonic.
-
^ With your post I suddenly feared for the condition of my unit (BDP-160) so I played a couple of BDs on it last night. I think that I'm also past the 6-month warranty period, if ever :'( It's still running good.

Good thing your unit is still covered by the warranty bro. My ancient "Sammy" is still in good shape considering it's almost 3 years old now. I guess the Pana 110 or 210 would be a better alternative.
Thanks!

haaay i faced the same problem today. played a disc and it froze on me a few minutes later. rebooted and tried playin it again but still it froze. thought it was just the disc, tried other which played smoothly before and to my surprise it froze again! i thought to myself 'tsk tsk tsk eto na...' worst part is i cant remember when i purchased it and cant even find the receipt! is the service warranty only good for 6 months?

Yes, as far as I know its 6 months.
An update on mine: Cdrking replaced my unit. That's great news. I guess they can't repair it. I'm pretty satisfied bec. they replaced my player, :) but I'm really scared on the reliability of this player.

I think its 6 months again. I don't know if I was too depressed (bec. of its reliability ;D) or too happy na they replaced it that I forgot to ask them. ;D
Ot: I bought a 1 tb internal from pc gilmore and i'm very lucky again on the warranty ;D. A day before the 1 year warranty na return ko. ;D Anyway they gave me a new one and I asked the same question above. The bad news is the new unit will no longer have the one year warranty. I kept arguing with them that this is a new unit. What if nasira after 3 months? Wala na daw yan, they just base the warranty on the orig purchase date. :(

Re: Your HDD's Warranty Coverage
Most HDD makers can RMA their defective products based on the date of manufacture (you can check the manufacturer's website for a S/N verification of DOM, and the return merchandise authorization procedure). If the replacement unit is pretty new, they can still replace/repair that unit if it fails. However, it's up to you to ship the item to the manufacturer.
The sad part is that Customs sometimes taxes the replacement item. :( I guess having some proof that it's an in-warranty replacement item would help waive the fee.
-
I'd like to add that warranty replacement units can be recertified and/or refurbished units. These items may or may not have the same warranty coverage as brand new units. If the manufacturer covers the original product with a warranty period that exceeds the coverage of the replacement unit (many bnew HDDs these days are covered for 3-5 years by the maker), keeping the original proof of purchase may help in case of future problems with the replacement unit.

But it's available na for purchase, sir? Paano yun, walang set price....?

^^ They're probably waiting for the green light from the home office.
-
But it's available na for purchase, sir? Paano yun, walang set price....?
Of course they can't sell it until there's a price advisory from their head office.
Nangyari din yan sa mga Extenal HD nila and Battery grip for SLR kahit yung mga inexpensive items such as plastic/box organizer, nakadisplay lang muna at hindi nila maibebenta pa.
-
Maybe base their price on the interest or how many are asking for the price.

daming bad feedback from Amazon about the Memorex BD player
-
ask ko lang sa mga merong BDP-190. kaka bili ko lang last week
pero parang may experience na akong issue. na try ako mag play ng mp4 thru USB at nag play naman sya ng walang problem
pero nung na burn ko na sa dvd-r hindi na sya ma play ng player. minsan na pplay yung file pero nag skip.
possible kaya na burn ko yung dvd sa 16x speed? ano kaya issue nito?
thanks sa mga tutulong.
-
^try burning it at a lower speed and/or try using another media..

currently using a ps3 as a primary bd player and am looking for a secondary player. Ano kaya mas.ok sa cdr king choices natin? Yung memorex kaya or yung HP?

Once we confirm that it can be hacked to play any region, we can safely say that the memorex would be a good buy right now.

Currently, Memorex MVBD2520 has 34 buyer reviews from Amazon, with the ff ratings breakdown:
5 star: (2)
4 star: (4)
3 star: (2)
2 star: (3)
1 star: (23)
Most of the bad comments stemmed from two major problems: (1) too noisy playback and (2) skipping. But the latest firmware update claims to solve these defects, as below quoted from the pdf instructions for installing version 118 firmware:
Note: This firmware update corrects the problem of some MVBD2520 units being noisy when playing DVD discs. Also corrected is the pause/skip noted on some units when playing DVD discs.

Ady001 has just bought Up Region B from me. Here's hoping he (and the others who has bought the unit as well) can confirm the region hack, and also the efficacy of the firmware update.
-
Di ko mainstall yung firmware... any ideas?
Paki-check mo yung firmware version ng unit mo sir. baka latest firmware na siya kaya di na ma-install. as per Memorex site, latest is v. 118.
-
For the moment of truth.
Yes, I bought the blu-ray from Razmaztaz. Here's how it goes:
This is the "Up" Blu-Ray I bought from Razmaztaz. As you can see it is evidently Region B:
(http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/ady00100/Photo0857.jpg)
When you put the disc without the code, the following message appears:
(http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/ady00100/Photo0860.jpg)
Now, following the code itself (idiin yung stop button sa unit mismo for about 5 seconds then dali-dali mong ipepress yung 8978) you get the grey screen:
(http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/ady00100/Photo08561.jpg)
Turn it off...
Feed the disc in...
And........
(http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/ady00100/Photo0861.jpg)
It actually works!
Though parang mas mabagal siya compared sa normal mode.
Remember that I only tried the "Up" blu-ray here so please exercise precaution. As always may policy naman ang CDR-King to test all you want in one day and they'll give you a full refund of the money.
I haven't yet harnessed the full extent of this player but it will take me 6 months or a year to tell people that it's a good buy.
And here's the short Pixar movie from the disc itself:
(http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/ady00100/Photo0862.jpg)
Now, time to buy that Akira Steelbook!
-
AFAIK I will be quite busy for the week but for 2,990 it's not that bad of a buy kung decent blu-ray player lang hanap mo. Still, I feel fearful that the region code might be detrimental to the stop button (kung madiin mo ng palagian, baka wala pang one year lubog na yung stop button ng player nyo.)
I have about 2 blurays coming on their way either next week or this week, and kung matutuloy yung Akira na blu-ray ko I think I could test more blus then.
Unfortunately, wala atang hack for DVDs :(...
-
Haha! Ayun! confirmed na! thanks sir Ady! for a 3K unit, parang pde nang itreat na plaything na lang, hehe! anyways, if ever makabili ako nito, i'll just use this lang as my SA for region B bds. meron daw sa SM North, punta na ko! ;D

How about the DVD functionality? is it region lock ?
Kindly check if the Memorex is region free and provide us with some feedback please.
Thanks ;)

mukhang ok yang memorex ah musta ang loading time?

It's region locked. I tried to play the Transformers Magnavision version and it didn't work.
yet when I tried Bagets it did :P

AFAIK most of the memorex players have these region codes with numbers on it.
-
Hmmm... lloks like this is the choice as far as a cheap secondary player is concerned. Thanks for all those who road tested the product for regional compatibility. Sa katapusan pa naman ako bibili so ill still stay tuned for any updates you guys may have.

Got my Memorex bdp today from CDRKing Grand Central Monumento, last unit, hehe! Followed the rc hack, and voila! now i have my dedicated Region B player (as i already have 3 other bd players! and this is the fourth. well if i count the bdrom in my PC then thats 5 in all!)
what i can say is that slow nga ang loading time nya and it takes mga 10-15 seconds (bagal!) to switch to disc menu or when selecting scenes. Nonetheless, the qualty of the picture and sound is superb! i loaded up Despicable Me [region-free] and the DTS-HD Master outputs marvelously and faithfully! all 5 speakers are crystal clear and actually blaring! and the LFE is also flawless! Now ko lang na-appreciate na para palang salamin sa linaw ang PQ ng Despicable Me!
I also tried my region B Hero (Jet Li). The DTS-HDM English Audio is outstanding! Dumadagundong talaga yung takbo ng mga horses. And when i switched to the DD5.1 Chinese audio [baligtad, dapat itong Chinese ang DTS-HDM since ito ang original language, sheeesh!], the reproduction is likewise excellent. There is this curious setting in the Sub Menu--Cinema Voice, that when i turned it on, the sound was enhanced! (or just got louder. ;D I'm not sure but i indeed noticed that the audio ouput somehow improved.)
As for the issue na maingay daw siya during playback, wala akong marinig as in tahimik siya. i also haven't encountered any skipping (yet, hope wala nga, as this is the second issue). It has somewhat limited options sa setup but sufficient enough that it doesn't hamper the performance of the unit. It has USB and SD card slots.
Two major setbacks sa mga nagbabalak na gawin na rin nila itong primary SA nila:
(1) It cannot read movie files! Kahit .avi, only JPEG photos and MP3. one can just hope that this maybe fixed by a firmware update but i'm afraid that this is the nature of its design to not read video files. This is a big letdown, as far as capabilities for a bd player is concerned. Though for those who have LCD TVs that can read standard movie files [avi, mp4], it's still a feasible SA.
(2) it is indeed not region free for DVD, unfortunately. This is quite funny, as a unit that has a hidden hack to change regions for BD has no option whatsoever to alter DVD region coding! Actually, its Region 1 locked and confirmed by my R1 Thirteenth Floor. My R2 Finding Forrester failed and local R3 DVDs as well. (But i just found out that my locally bought Universal movies like The Fast and the Furious and The Good Shepherd played! so that means their region-free! and i think rightly so, coz the back covers do not indicate any region coding for all the Universal movies that i have. curious discovery!)
All in all, i'm satisfied so far coz the only reason i wanted this player badly was for me to be able to order and watch region B bds. at long last i found one! kaya matitis ko ang kabagalan at limited features nito coz it serves its sole purpose adequately.
i just hope this unit lasts! :)

I guess you really cant expect much from a blu ray player that cost less than P3K.
It's a good secondary player, period.
nonetheless, im still getting one para di naman malaspag yung lens ng PS3 ko. :)
the fact that there's a region hack for it couldnt hurt as well :D
I really hope this player stands the test of time and durability.
-

I agree. But as a secondary SA for 3k, this one seems to be a bang-for-the buck deal. and it's cheaper too, compared with the other available bdps from CDRKing (which are just DTS/DTS 2.0 and not DTS-HD Master). the only major disadvantage nga is that it cannot read movie files. but for me, the thing that it has an option to change region coding for bds is the clincher! ;D
-
Agree 100% sir, im sure everyone has alternate means to play those files anyway!
It wont be long when they start making toasters with multimedia players.

BTW watched UP in full detail without any hiccups yesterday with the Memorex. I switched it back to Region A. I would have to say that it is a decent unit but as they say dapat hindi magsalita ng patapos.
-
Does the region hack (Bluray) for the Memorex player still work after the firmware update?
Would like to get this for Region B BDs, kaya lang, once this once conks out (You might have to import a Region B Player just to play those BDs (as the Memorex would probably be out of stock, by then...)
I know, that I would be better off buying the Region A BDs, but titles like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is already out in UK and Steelbook pa! Sa US, it's regular plastic casing and another few weeks of wait... oops, off topic.
-
Does the region hack (Bluray) for the Memorex player still work after the firmware update?
Well, in my case, i didn't find it necessary to upgrade my firmware. The update specifically addresses the 2 issues experienced by a number of buyers, i.e., (1) audible noise during playback and (2) skipping. So far, i haven't had any of the those. i already completed watching 2 full movies without any issue at all. though i can't find a way through the available options/settings to check if my unit already has the updated firmware installed.
-
If you choose not to update, there is a chance that you won't be able to play mid to late 2012 bd releases.
-
just finished watching Letters to Juliet (UK, Region B) with my wife on the Memorex bdp. smooth playback, no hitches whatsoever. 3rd complete film and still no problems. ;D
-
once na power off ba ang unit babalik ba sa stock region settings which you need to input the codes all over again every time you want to play another region bds?
-
^
nope. the region change stays.
-
I am getting the Memorex as my primary player, the PS3 will be relegated to backup. Since okay lang kung masira lens ng Memorex kasi, hindi masakit sa bulsa (compared to the PS3).
Despite the low rating at Amazon, I think the quality of the Memorex is still way better than CDR-King's own Bluray player (which seems to be sold out in most of their stores).
-
Can you switch this memorex player to bd region all (region a,b,c)? Or only region specific? I hate switching it back and forth when I have to watch something. Pero mukhang ok itong player.
-
^
Unfortunately no. you can't make it an all region-player. the region change sticks until you modify it again.
-
Ok thks very much
-
good buy pa din b.tong memorex over the samsung d5100 bdp being sold sa FS thread naten for 3.9k or 4.5k with blupass?
-
+1
-
It's been almost a year since I got my CDR-King BD player. The "turd" keeps on playing. Good investment for just P4k. I may upgrade to the memorex one if needed, because the firmware for the BDP-160 can't be upgraded and who knows what new tricks those bluray standards people have up their sleeves.
-
Looks like no one here is buying the HP bluray player that CDR King also sells. Is it a bad product?
-
^ OT @indie boy.
Congrats on hitting the 6K posts mark, bro.
-
Thanks! Didn't even notice it.
-
eto po yung sa memorex sa cdr diba?

Mine too :) :) :) And to think that we've since replaced our US-bought Samsung BDP in the living room with this one for our DVD marathon viewing sessions on the weekends for nearly 3 months running now (The Sammy wouldn't play our R3 DVDs). Not a single hiccup in all that time. Color me lucky ;)
(This kinda reminds me of an old post of mine here, about how funny and sad our level of expectation from this brand is - the mere fact that it doesn't die on you out of the box is already cause for a positive testimonial, LOL)

Thanks for this topic... I bought Memorex at CD-R king and successfully changed region code to B... I can now play my Region B discs...
-
iba talaga ang cd-r king kasi kahit lcd tv meron na rin sila :)
mas maganda kung bibili ka nang bd player yung branded na lang kaysa sa cd-r king kasi hindi rin natin alam kung tatagal yung bd lens nito eh! alam naman natin na yung warranty nila ay saglit lang hindi taon kundi month or week lang ang binibigay nila diba, kung bibili ka yung sure na, nakakamura nga tayo pero talo tayo kapag nasira nang maaga tama po ba!
kayo parin ang masusunod kung bibili kayo nito o kulang sa budget sa cd-r king ka na lang pero kung may sobra ka sa branded ka na lang :)
injoy watching movie ;D

Kung specifically Blu-ray player, I believe the warranty is for one year.

Would it be fair to say that from all the posts and reviews here that the Memorex version is the best one to get?

After much hewing and hawing (translation: revisiting this post every day for updates from our brave volunteer testers ;D), I finally mustered the courage to get myself this much ballyhooed BD player from the cd-r king outlet in Trinoma this past afternoon. Oh, and my PS3 YLOD'd on me a week or two ago, so I really needed a player in my room :-[
Anyway, I brought a couple of Region A titles (Avatar, The Thing) with me for in-store testing; they took awhile to get started (a little under a minute) but then again so do they on my then-working PS3 and our Samsung BDP in the living room, so no problem there. After DVD playback on my copies of Saving Private Ryan (R1) and Jaws (R3) went without a hitch as well, I finally relented and coughed out the P3,990.
Will be posting pics and impressions as I torture test this little baby before the end of the 7-day return period - starting tonight, with Inglorious Basterds and, time allowing, The Day After Tomorrow ;D
Guess what? Nearly 19 months on, and my cd-r king BDP is still going STRONG! :-D :-D :-D
-
What model is this? Sulit na sulit ka na dito.

Same here :)
-

The BDP-160. Originally priced at P3,990; presumably cheaper now that other models and brands (ie Memorex) have already been introduced since.

Mine is BDP-190......bought june 2011, still works flawlessly and plays every format ;D
-
How much na ba ngayon ang cheapest branded BDP? Meron na ba at the P4t range? if yes, baka hindi na ito sulit.
-
if im not mistaken, i bought my bdp samsung e series for around 3,900php brand new, with 6-months FREE blupass bluray rental.
-
does it really output 24p signal?

marami sir nagbebenta ng samsung blu ray player at 4k. ito normally yung nakabundle sa tv na free

im new here and this is my first post :)
tanong ko lang kung may usb port ba ito ?
-

Meron. It's situated at the back.
-
hey folks does it really play well on 24p materials? as you know this is the most important aspect of a bluray player say i care much less those pathetic usb ports availability or questions that ask "does it play video files coming from usb thumb drive?" a bluray player is only one thing u wanna do that is to play bluray disc and nothing else. so i ask again does it play well on 24p materials?
-
I'm planning to buy this in some years. Does it upconverts DVDs to 1080p flawlessly?
-
My BDP-160 upconverts but it also depends on the DVD source material. I hope some of the masters can give more advice. To me the image quality is "just OK".
-
Ano ba mas magandang bilhin, yung MEMOREX MVBD2520 or yung CD-R King BDP-190? Both Php2,990 kasi and I don't know alin mas maganda sa dalawa.
Thanks!

nagka-issue na ba kayo sa remote control nito? ngayon ko lang na-enounter na di gumagana ng maayos ang rc ko. prohibited lagi kapag pinipindot ko ng buttons. eh wala namang buttons ito sa player mismo, di ba? naka-bad trip.

Wala pa naman. Ano ibig mo sabihin? Nagpapakita yung red circle na may slash? Hindi ka maka-navigate sa normal BD menus?
-

oo, eh. pero okay na. had to take out the batteries and pressed the start button to restart it. nawirdohan ako kasi pati yung remote ng tv ay nag-a-act out. parang may conspiracy na nagaganap! i've searched online and found out that remotes tend to get "confused" at times.
-
Hmmm... may cinavia protection kaya itong player na ito... bwahahaha!
I also noticed that a lot of cdr king branches dont have them on stock anymore...
-
HELP!!!
I was checking my Criterion Blu-ray of Hidden Fortress and as it was playing, my CDR-KING Blu-ray player (around 3 or 4 years old) puttered out. It keeps booting up again and again but does not go. I could not get the disc out. If there's anyone out there who knows the problem, LET ME KNOW ASAP!
Thank you.
-
You need to open the top cover of the player. You will see the disc mechanism top cover. Remove it and you get the disc.
-
Thanks. I think I'll be needing screwdrivers though.
-
Ouch! Good luck Klaus! Hope the disc isn't scratched.
