  4. 🟢​​Le Troquet des Francophones

    Good morning, Les Psycho Babbles! We had our first snow on the mountain last night here where I live in the Rockies, though it melted very fast and didn’t stick around. 
     

    Wishing all of you Francophones a very pleasant Sunday with very little nagging from other family members about all your discs lying around!

    Where can I buy steelbooks?

     

    Which ones in particular are you looking for? It’s hard to help not knowing what in particular you are looking to reserve. 

     

    It can seem a bit daunting—definitely tag one of the Miderators who can help with specific Group Buy questions. Some of the Mods are:@Gary K @deckard99 @ukade2327 @extantsrevenge @cypheria078
     

    We hope you will find much to enjoy and discuss among our members, and that you’ll want to take part in some of our world-famous Group Buys. Dig in and have fun!

    That looks like a great place for region free players, thanks @Veum for the heads up! Bookmarking this. Still salivating over the Panasonic UB9000. I used RegionFreedom to make my Panasonic region free, but they appear to be defunct now (and do not have good reviews... looks like I got lucky I guess!) 

     

     

    There are also a couple of very excellent reputable large dealers that sell on eBay. I got my two Sony X700 players from the eBay seller, region*free*DVD, and it was about $75 less than 220-electronics.com, though admittedly that was a year ago.

    2) When using these forums, how do I jump to the last page?  Currently I only see a ‘Next’ key and there are 1120 pages to scroll through!  Ouch.


    Navigating to the first or last page of any thread is very easy—you scroll to the top or bottom and click on the *actual* double-arrow symbol; that will take you directly to the very beginning, or the very end of any thread (it is just to the right of the word NEXT).

    howdy! Sony X700 is probably your best bet, you’ll need to search for a region free version though. More expensive is the Panasonic DP-UB420, and even more is the 820. I have the 820 region free and it’s spectacular. 
     

    The Sony is a fine player but you have to manually enable/disable Dolby Vision every time. 420 doesn’t have DV but the 820 does. Sony occasionally has trouble with triple layer discs, but mine never encountered this. 
     

    hope this helps! 


    I agree with this, the Sony X700/X700M is a workhorse, and you need only have the drawer open and the power on to change the Blu-ray Region decoder between A, B or C. 
     

    i’ve heard of a very, VERY small number of units that have problems reading triple layer 4K UHD discs (like for HBO series). Try one of those soon after you get the player to make sure it doesn’t have any issues. If it does, you need to return unit for another one. I am the lucky owner of two units from which I’ve had no problems in the 1.5 years of owning them.
