Recently upgraded projector to an AE4000 ( 3D doesn’t appeal ), had an AE500,Looking to maximize projector upgrade by adding Blu-ray
I have a Pioneer DV-S969AVi DVD, HDMI out, no video upsampling , my Pioneer receiver of similar vintage doesn’t have HDMI, otherwise happy with current receiver
There’s a TV and projector in this room and to date I've occasionally swapped HDMI cable over to watch TV on the big screen. Yesterday I did this and was impressed enough with HDTV to think I would do this more often, so a switching box or other alternative looks on the cards
An option would be a Blu-ray player with 2 HDMI outs for TV & Projector and 5.1 Analog to receiver to get best of audio
Assuming I could feed Skybox through Blu-ray player to either screen, and will need turned on to watch TV
There appear to be two contenders
Cambridge Audio 651BD Blu-ray player and Oppo BDP-103AU 3D Blu-ray Disc Player - HARDWARE MODIFIED
Not sure if 651BD will play all discs like the Oppo or if I really need this , these are top end of budget
Suggestions/Thoughts appreciated
