Just tell them you want to replace the battery. They should offer you a new one for a discount instead. Several years ago my Bose Quiet Comfort 2 had an issue with the connection. They offered me a new one for £120 (RRP was ,£279 at the time).

If you contact Bose customer service, they may offer you a very sizeable discount on new ones.

That'll increase our work as well.

Thanks all! I received a 20% discount voucher from eBay today, which brought down price of the Panasonic UB820 player to £279.20. RS price beat it by £10, so I got it for £269.20! Placed the order today.

Having been a mod in previous WHF forum when it was with Haymarket and now when it restarted under Future, I can say that Future is more proactive in removing and preventing spam. They're actively banning email domains, live links etc. Without that, spam would have been a lot more worse. I...

Thanks. Yes, if it was few years ago when I was still buying discs of almost all the good films, I would've gone for it. But now I'll only buy few discs.

I believe when Oppo shut the blu ray business, its engineers moved to Reavon / Magnetar. The UI is very similar. Check from 6:37 View: https://youtu.be/bqgbrEWjOPY?si=tTOqbhZwzz5qAFIA

Reavon and Magnetar are sister companies (both are affiliated with Groupe Archisoft), also Zappiti.

Thanks all! I'm going to pull the trigger on the Panasonic 820. I checked it out at Richer Sounds and am impressed with the build quality for the price. Waiting for it be back in stock at Panasonic store so I can get RS to price match (I have a 10% Panasonic store voucher). Meanwhile, I've paid...

Thanks. I'm not looking at that option for now. Few years ago, I was very interested in the Kaleidoscope / Innuos option but they were pricey. Now our viewing habits have changed.

Thanks. Sound is of no matter to me as it'll be bitstreamed for my AVR to process. The Sony doesn't do HDR10+ that the Samsung TV has. Not sure how important that is. You seem to suggest the Panasonic UB820 probably is the best balance for my needs. Certainly a great shout and currently on top...

Yes, I meant 4K blu ray (Ultra HD).

Looks way too much in excess of my needs. Does it play UHD discs at all?

Any view on the Panasonic DP-UB450 in comparison with Sony X700? It also has HDR10+ support that the Sony lacks.
