If its any help I have a Panasonic DMPBDT260 BlueRay/DVD Player it also plays 3D disk's as well. Quality is great, plays anything, had it for nearly a year and has given me no trouble at all.

I had a Samsung BluRay - it refused to play lots of disks.
I switched to a 12gb PS3 slimline and can now play ALL my disks inc 3D ones..... 2013 Aintree Green 110 Station Wagon SX |

Panny's seem to get very,very good reviews,cheers. Samsung seem to have extremely good performance reviews, but their reliability is utterly 5hite. Pov.spec,ftw. 2006, 110,TD5. |

Jimbob. Our Philips used to do that, so I got shot of it and had my mum's secondhand Sony. That does almost the same! It comes up on the screen, 'Press Play'. So you do, and nothing happens. Wife thought it was me first of all. Now we have found that you have to get up, eject the DVD, and reload it. Sometimes, even if I turn the damn thing off and back on again, it still won't play. It's probably like all printers, mobile phone networks, and internet providers - all shyte. I think Philips is the worst. Had two fax machines from them that were a joke, a home cinema system that just wouldn't work properly, and an answer-machine that had thoughts of its own.
Almost had my life took away yesterday when someone pulled out in front of me on a dual carriageway. My dashcam caught the whole thing, and the police have asked if they can come round and view it. So I tried playing it on Windows Media Player and all my vids freeze after 1 minute (apparently common problem). So I tried QuickTime and that jerks in 1 second stages. So I downloaded VLC Player (wouldn't work). GOM Player (Jerky), DivX (wouldn't play after the initial image). Eventually (late last night) got a player called MPC-321 (worked a treat). Now, this morning, found one of the Players had also downloaded something called Trovi.com. Absolute nightmare - locks your homepage to theirs. Had to spend 2 hours this morning getting rid of it. Had to reload Firefox, change settings, and download an anti-malware package called Malwarebytes (brilliant). Took 50 minutes to go through all my files and eliminate 139 threats including Trovi.com. Police can now catch the nutter who thought pulling out in front of me when I'm doing 60 was a good idea, and left me a trembling wreck. I digress - 95% of technology is rubbish. Now left. |

In short your system will need the blu ray player, into an amp that feeds the speakers. I do not know what your system is or whether it can function as an amp. However if you have a few hundred pounds to spend, there are many great set ups available either used or new.

Another good removal tool is adwcleaner, it helped me several times. As to trovi, seems it is not a very dangerous virus and can be removed by hand too: http://soft2secure.com/knowledgebase/trovi
