BD30 is simply great for blu-ray viewing. This is true even for my 720p native resolution 50" TV. PQ is not as good for SD DVD playback although this player is region free for SD DVD.

BD30 then for blu ray and DV400 in the meantime for my SD DVD...will just see which one of the two would perform better for SD DVD playback.

Haven't tried updating the firmware yet..

I recommend you do. One quirk it has is the low level of bass output in uncompressed PCM audio. Nasolve na ito sa 1.6. Latest firmware though is 1.8.

My guess is your BD-30 is from H.K., so your region will be Oceana/Thai.S.E.Asia. Latest Firmware is Ver. 1.3. Dunno what will happen if you try updating with Ver 1.8 of North America & Latin America region. BD-30 w/ SD region free still available at Listening Room MegaMall. Look for Minnie.

Asian version kaya autovolt na rin sya. It plays Region 1, 2, 3 DVDs and Region A blu-ray. Most blu-ray discs are actually not region-locked but can be played in any blu-ray player I think. rin

Maybe most. But definitely, some bd will not play in some players. My friend bought a bd in the UK. D sya recognized ng PS3 and BD30 nya. Wrong region
