Looking for an inexpensive Blue ray player


I am asking for suggestions on the purchase of a inexpensive Blue ray player for a living room system which serves as a modest 2.1 video and music system. I have two other systems which are music only. I am looking to use HDMI output for video and digital coax out into a DAC for sound. Something that could be purchased under $300. I will explore on Amazon for options. Thanks.

I just went through this about a month ago. Read lots of reviews and used my personal experience as well as other videophiles. I would suggest you find new or like new Pioneer Elite, Sony, Marantz, Denon and Yamaha. If you need specific models pm me. I bought mine through eBay and USaudiomart.

p.s. If you need one with a front read-out pay close attention. Many newer models can only be operated when the TV is on! There is no front panel display to show operation. sometimes I may want to pop in a CD or Music DVD and just listen. Without a display you cannot see track, time, replay, elapsed time etc....

Hope this helps:>)
the older Oppa s are a good bargain, I see the 93s going for cheap frequently, mostly on craigs list. Not bad as cd players either
Thanks all!

Samac, The Sony seems like it would be a good fit. Has good customer reviews. 

Was not really looking to buy used however a used Oppo, Marantz, Sony ES, or Pioneer Elite might be considered at the right price. 


The two new players on my list are the Sony UHPH1 and the Yamaha BD-S681. I am also looking at some used machines on Ebay. Several Pioneer Elite models available there.
