Hello All,
My Samsung BDC7500 Blue Ray player needs to be replaced.
Any suggestions to what I should buy for my BV10? DVD player will be placed in a cabinet and I would appreciate the possibility to play back and forward with Beo4 remote - that has never worked with the BDC7500
OPPO 103!

There is a tv - and there is a BV

vlohjr1:Correction 103D! My old man has this set up with bv10 and the picture omg is unbelievable you will have no regrets
I agree that the Oppo is a great blu-ray player. It has many benefits that other players don't have -- such as in IR input port and a very clean interface. If you search on eBay, you can find players that have been modified to accept any region of dvd or blu-ray disc. This player can play anything you throw at it!
Would you really notice the OPPO difference on a BV10 screen guys? A player that matches the OPPO in performance is the Panasonic BDT700 at £399.
But as Raeuber points out, these are expensive. A basic priced Panasonic would certainly last and perform far better than a Samsung. Panasonic is one of the few to still use high quality components including their own capacitors. Their latest range starts at £50 upwards.

So true Michael. Even at the £50 price, i've never seen a blu-ray player that delivers anything but spectacular HD picture. An OPPO would be a silly purchase in 2015 with the new blu-ry format just around the corner.
The Oppo not only has industry benchmark levels of video and audio performance, it's also very well made, reliable, and has a much quicker and smoother interface experience than I've seen with any lower end player. How much that matters depends on how patient you are while the machine grinds away and makes up its mind to play a disc. Very good smart TV capabilities too, streaming and such, as well as surround sound decoding and individual outputs, line level, for all 5.1 channels. Can also be used as a video processor, run the video from your set top box into it via HDMI, and use it to send that signal to the TV.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
Thanks for all answers.
I have now a Samsung BRP vertical mounted on BV10. It doesn't read discs currently, I suspct the laser mechanism is faulty - it has already been replaced once. I will now hang-up my BV10 on the wall, a small cabinet underneath will keep BRP, STB, AppleTV. So for the BRP a frontload mechanism would be ideal.
I agree with Rauber's comment on PUC availability. I'll have a word with my B&O dealer next week.
Having bought an B&O TV primarily for it's outstanding picture quality and sound, I'd say the likes of an Oppo 103D or the Cambridge Azur 752 would be my Blue ray player of choice, to provide the best commensurate picture and sound quality.
However, I do watch and collect a lot of movies, and despite the convenience of online streaming, blueray is still where it's at if you want the very best picture and sound quality available.
Having said that, there is little doubt that new players will arrive by the end of the year for the new UHD Bluray standard, so I'd be waiting for the dust to settle on that before investing in an 'high end' serious player.
My el-cheapo Sony will have to 'soldier on' for a while yet, but once the new format is settled, and perhaps Oppo and/or Cambridge have new models out, that would be the way I would go speaking personally of course.
All the Best

I'm using a Sony BDP-S500 since a few years and I bought a second one as a backup because I'm really satisfied with it. I like the B&O mechanical magic and that's why I bought the S500: It's front panel is motorized, too.It's a dark blue colored panel and behind is the display and a blue glowing Led stripe. It looks subtle and works nice.The only downside: As it's one of the first Blu-Ray players: It's a little bit slow while starting up.Maybe you should look for a used one in good condition.Front and tray open:http://www.audiovideohd.fr/i/imgs/6197-5.jpg

I think you're referring to a "ferrite core"
Ferdinand, can you share with us why you wanted to move the BV 10 from the floor stand to the wall? Additionally how do you like the beolab 17 speakers?
Bravo to your setup!
