Best Dvd Player For Scratched Discs
I often cannot play scratched rental DVD's on my existing DVD player (an best blu-ray player for scratched discs eight-year old Sony player that cost a fortune at the time). I want to get an affordable new player

that can play scratched discs well. I don't need any fancy HD/progressive scan/1080/whatever new features. I'm in South Africa so unfortunately I don't have access to any smaller, more 'boutique' brand players, just mainstream brands. I've scoured Google on this topic, and so far have just come up with a few anecdotal recommendations for Panasonic, Pioneer and JVC. I was really hoping to find a site that rated players on this issue, but no joy after nearly an hour of searching. (Incidentally, a similar question WAS asked here on Metafilter before - but nearly five years ago. Only a few recommendations and of course VERY out of date). posted by worldshift to Technology (8 answers total) 2 users marked this as a favorite The Oppo players are excellent, not sure how mainstream they are by you though.posted by zeoslap at 1:20 PM on April 27, 2009 Looks like these guys have them http://www.audiotweak.co.za/ Review from them http://www.oppodigital.com/press/download/Oppo_981HD_AVSA2008Review.pdfposted by zeoslap at 1:22 PM on April 27, 2009 An editor at Ars Technica claims that the Playstation 3 has a high tolerance for scratched discs. I use a PS3 as my main DVD player (after having used a fairly expensive Philips player for seven years) and I've yet to have a disc skip in it. It's even handled a DVD that skipped in my Mac desktop. I'm not sure whether you consider that affordable, though, and it does have features you say you don't need. But it's probably the case that a player that has features you don't need will also be the best with regard to the features you do need.posted by Prospero at 3:05 PM on April 27, 2009 The best (

I've had the best luck with players that use a Philips-made swing-arm CD drive. Those disc drives coast through scratches and other defects that bring lesser drives to their knees, and they have no trouble playing CD-Rs (but not CD-RWs). There are many different makes and models of players that use these drives. Unfortuna
Best blu-ray player for error correction of slightly scratched BDs? Discussion in 'Blu-ray & DVD Players & Recorders' started by Jonathan S, May 23, 2013. May 23, 2013 at 11:49 AM Jonathan S, May 23, 2013 #1 Jonathan S Active Member Joined: Jul 8, 2005 Messages: 233 Products Owned: 0 Products Wanted: 0 Trophy Points: 18 Ratings: +20 Despite the popular wisdom that BDs are less sensitive than DVDs to scratches and other surface marks, my experience with two players (a Sony BDP-S300 and now a brand new Panasonic DMP-BDT120) is very much the reverse. My enthusiasm for blu-ray is severely undermined by the fact I now have three BDs (in a very small collection) which skip or freeze badly in the same places on both players, due apparently to tiny manufacturing scuffs and scratches that were on the discs when I bought them new. Having grown up with vinyl LPs, I'm obsessively careful with handling (and inspecting) discs myself but I find about 10% of even new and sealed discs have minor blemishes due to careless treatment at the factory stage. This was true of DVDs too but my players nearly always sailed through the scratches - and indeed these two BD players seem to cope well with DVDs that have similar or far worse marks. [While there is of course the option of returning discs, this can be both difficult and costly with imported discs (depending on the seller) and often the return window has closed anyway by the time I view them.] Given that this problem seems to be rarely reported, which players are people using that have good enough error correction to cope with these minor marks? I can't believe that blu-ray would have taken off - or there would be any rental or secondhand market - if this problem was as recurrent generally as it is with me.
