[QUOTE=CBR929;139122]Hi guardian2083
Sony is cause of Cinavia on discs, so my advice is to stay away from Sony.
Trying to find a Blu-Ray player that is not infected will be hard to find, as of February 1, 2012 Cinavia technology has become mandatory for all Blu-Ray players.
Here is a link about Cinavia
There are threads about media players here on the forum that are not affected by Cinavia, with a little search you will find more information on them, including this thread.
Hope this helps

I think you are misleading folks.
If you want to punish Sony for cinavia, do not buy any Sony released software video products corrupted with cinavia. That means stay away from blu-ray titles with the little cinavia logo on the back cover. That is mostly the source of the issue - Sony Studios.
If you do not want blu-ray playback hardware that supports cinavia, then you cannot buy any blu-ray player model from any manufacturer that was licensed from February, 2012 on.
So - don't buy any new blu-ray player - and don't buy blu-ray or dvd releases with soundtracks corrupted with cinavia.
But if you need to buy a new blu-ray player regardless of cinavia, I would recommend you seriously consider Sony players along with other top quality brand name blu-ray players. My Sony blu-ray players have been absolutely superb & trouble free performers. If you want a cinavia free Sony player - look for a used or overstock mint condition S570 series or earlier. My primary player is a BDP-S1000ES that I paid $90 for from BestBuy on a closeout sale. It is a superb player!
