Cheap Blu Ray Player

Momitsu BDP-799 Blu-ray DVD Player Region Free Price

Pros: This player has more features and is more versatile than players costing hundreds of dollars more. It can play DVD and Blue Ray dics from any region with a remote code that can be found on the internet. It has a built in PAL, NTSC convertor as well. I upgraded to this player from the Oppo DV-981HD. The DVD picture quality is the same or better. The Blue Ray picture quality is amazing.

Cons: noisy disc loading, clumsy menu navigation, poor documention, short power cord, lack of legacy inputs, you have to turn on the TV to see CD track info.

Customer Reviews

Player is Too Noisy – Mark Colangelo – Los Angeles
I wanted a multi-region player, specifically the Momitsu BDP-899 because of the rave review it received at [...]. However, that unit was sold out. In its place Momitsu offered the BDP-799, a new pared down model, which I then ordered.

I had this player for only a day before I returned it. The first time I played a DVD I heard a constant high-pitched whirring or ringing noise coming from the player. It reminded me of the sound a cicada insect makes during the hot afternoons in Summertime. It’s really noticeable during the quiet moments of a movie. Even in a cabinet with the glass door shut I could still hear it. I found it really annoying, and couldn’t deal with it after awhile. Maybe I have sensitive ears, and for some people perhaps this isn’t such a deal breaker, but I’d rather just get another player. The remote was also awkward.

The shame of it is that the picture quality was excellent, especially when it upscaled standard DVDs. I liked design and compact size of the player, too. I never got to test its multi-region capabilities, so I can’t comment on that. I hear that the Momitsu BDP-899 is a quieter player, and does not have the same noisy problem that the 799 has. I would say if you want a region free player, to pay a little more and get the 899, if you can find it.
