Hi, I’m looking for a budget Blu Ray player that’s as good as possible for CD playback. I’m hoping that you’ll be able to let me now of which brands / models are best, and which to avoid.
It’s for my mum, she’s less fussed about video quality, doesn’t have surround sound / multi channel, and doesn’t want to spend much. 4k is nice but not needed. WiFi is also nice but not needed
Ideally it’ll also be multi region DVD (or can be made so)
The options that are available:
Hoping that you can help

The options that are available:
- Panasonic DP-UB150 @ AUD 195 (for the next 2 days). These seem to get very good reviews, but I’ve read that at least one of the expensive models in the family have poor quality for CD playback…) As a massive bonus, this can be modifies by a Panasonic service centre to be multi-region DVD. This would be an ideal solution if the CD audio is ok.
- Sony UBP-X700 @Aud 255 (for the next 2 days) These receive great reviews for video and CD…BUT modding for multi region costs $200+, so I'd need to buy an additional $40 DVD player to sit alongside to allow her to play multi-region DVDs
- LG's @ ~AUD150 that don't get great reviews, but can be user-modified for multi-region DVD.
- Sony: BDPS3500 @ AUD 115 - 165
- Sony: BDP-S1500 @ AUD 99 - 145
Hoping that you can help
