On November 6 I submitted a post describing my dissatisfaction with D&M Holdings / Marantz relative to my SA8260. The impetus for my original post was found in more than one e-mail I had received from Marantz that really seemed to close the door with the problems left unresolved.To my surprise, that situation has now changed, and I thought it only fair to post again to report this. Marantz has unexpectedly responded and I have accepted the resolution they offered.I also want to mention that the folks at United Radio were helpful through the process.
Yes, it was the same United Radio of which you speak.
I had a very simmilar experience with Phillips. The SACD 1000 which cost $3000 list. What a joke. Same reading problems which COULD NOT be fixed. It is now a door stop. Never again a Phillips product NEVER.charles

Count me in as knowing another friend who got burned on the Philips player. I also felt sorry for the modders and their customers who poured good money down a hole.I don't want to turn my living room into a SAE 70's style rack display. Like this poor guy! Either he's not married, or this is in the "man cave".Man, it took me 30 minutes to remember SAE, what a morning of brain freeze.Lyndon
Count me in as knowing another friend who got burned on the Philips player. I also felt sorry for the modders and their customers who poured good money down a hole.Wasn't the problem essentially how they implemented the Faroudja chip?On a much cheaper level, I get the flip flop.My Philips dvd player, reads everything, and the USB connection works great on my thumb drives and my WDPassport drive.Now my new blu ray player, a re-badged LG370 or Desay, from Best Buy, is not reading several of my standardcommercial discs, nor will it give enough power to my portable hard drive. Is it quality control, or not implementing what R&D is telling the factory?But I sure hear Phil and others going with the Oppo.As it stands, I will need to stack 3 dvd players to get my SACD, and other types of playback.I don't want to turn my living room into a SAE 70's style rack display.
