On the hunt for a new bluray player (sony vs pioneer)
« on: Oct 10, 2015 at 11:37 PM »
Mabuhay!

Hi everyone, I would just like to ask what bluray player would be more compatible with my yamaha rxv377 paired with NSP40 speakers?

1) Sony BDPS6500 3D 4K Upscaling

or

2) Pioneer BDP170 (no 4k upscaling)

Here's the challenge, i want Sony because of its 4k upscaling feature although the TV i have is hisense full hd only. A relative of mine will come home from the US by January next year so pwede akong magpabili sa kanya. I've read a number of reviews and mukhang maganda talagang player. And mas mura kaya lang 110 volts nga lang. 

Kung pioneer naman, what i am afraid of wala syang 4k upscaling. Pero majority of the things i am looking for is nandun sa player katulad nang wifi, dolby true hd atbp. Its a little more expensive compared sa sony pero at least 220v na sya and i am pretty sure it will play my r2 and r3 dvds.

Definitely, i wont be upgrading my tv set anytime soon (siguro mga after 10 years ;D). Pero masyado lang po ba akong na-entice sa 4k upscaling ng Sony? At the back of my mind, the pioneer is just enough for the technology i have with me right now.

My first bluray player was a sony but it went to bluray heaven. I really need your suggestions/advises mga ka-pinoydvd.

I thank you in advance for any response.

God bless you all

Why not skip the upgrade path and jump directly to Oppo since you have access to relatives in the US. HTH!

Tama si cooltoyz. Once u go oppo, hnd ka na makagat upgrade bug. Save up na lang and buy it once afford na. In the meantime, buy those on sale BDs as suggested by anya.

i want Sony because of its 4k upscaling feature although the TV i have is hisense full hd only.

1st, not sure about how good it will look from Blu-ray upscaled to 4K. im not sold on the "upscale" feature at all. gimik lang yan for sure.

2nd, if it does indeed "upscale", yung output device mo naman,which is the TV, will not be able to show it anyways as it is limited to what its capable lang.

dont buy to that upscale BS if you ask me.

With your budget concerns, I would just recommend the pioneer player. The dvd playing would be all region and its 220 volts. Since you mentioned anyway you will not upgrade your tv for a long time (for 3d and 4k), this player will fill your needs for a while.
