[78-L] OFF TOPIC - Canadian members - Blu-Ray DVD player question

[Thomas Stern]

Might be best to reply off list...

Does anyone have, or know of, an INEXPENSIVE (around $100) Blu-Ray player which will play
ALL zones (A B C) BD disks, and DVDs from all regions ???

A while ago I purchased an INSIGNIA player (BEST BUY house brand) about $90 which meets those
criteria, however on some recent UNIVERSAL disks the extras display only as thumbnail size
images.  On another, expensive, player which a relative has they display correctly.  I am assuming it is a problem with the
player.  It could also be a problem with the TV or TV/Player
combination.
I also tried an OREI M2 player, which seems to work OK ONLY for BD disks which are zone coded,
but will NOT play non-zoned disks, and will not play MANY Criterion disks.  It also takes
incredibly long to load, somewhat alleviated by connecting a memory stick (I guess that gives
it additional memory to do its tasks).
  Thanks!
  Best wishes, Thomas.
