stygz Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I have an older Sony blue ray player I bought back around 2008. Is there any value in upgrading to something like a new denon DBT-1713UD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted March 20, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2015 Probably....How long does it take from the time you hit Power on until it begins playing a bluray disk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yes No You should upgrade to the Oppo instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stygz Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) From when I turn on the player to play time seems like a good minute or two. I have heard a lot about oppo. I may look at that. Probably exceeds my TV's capabilities. Edited March 20, 2015 by stygz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Probably exceeds my TV's capabilities Time for a new TV as well then Seriously consider the Oppo. DVD up-scaling is fantastic. CD sound, customer service and build quality DITTO. I have had 3 models, ALL great products just kept moving up until I got the -105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted March 20, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2015 Oppo has great reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Things consider are HDMI, Networking, Streaming services. I don't know of a BDP that does not upscale. I know a lot of people will say I don't use all that, you can't use it if you don't have it. A smart BDP is a nice upgrade for the future TV that will eventually come. Streaming Pandora, Netfix, ect. also comes in handy. Edited March 20, 2015 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivernuggets Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I may be putting out more money for a set of RF 62's I saw that thread and agree with the Scrappydue's comment, though it sounds like you listened without a subwoofer. First, listen with a sub and see if it's improved. If not, those 62's would be a good thing. You had many questions involving placement with your mains and sub. Experimentation is the best way. Play with the distance from the back wall with your mains. With the sub, you can place it in your listening position then move around the room perimeter, down low where the sub would be and listen in different areas. Wherever it sounds the best to you is where the sub will sound its best at your listening position. I should have posted this in your other thread.
