Hello Everyone,
I have a Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD Blu Ray player and the Blu-Ray portion of it is not working. It still plays audio CDs and regular DVDs. The reason why I love this machine is that it has RCA audio outs for my system so I know I am getting the best possible audio (meaning I don't have to rely on a low cost and uknown quality output coaxial or optical converter). I sent the unit to United Radio in Syracuse for a repair estimate. They came back with a $594 dollar repair to fix the Blu-Ray Player portion. I literally asked them 3 times if that was the correct price to repair it and they confirmed. So, here's the question: Should I repair this player? It seems like it's way too expensive of a repair just to have my higher quality audio out from a good blu ray player. I wanted to know if anyone feels they are aware of a unit with equivalent audio output of this Pioneer model but a modern available unit which would come under warranty? Or do you think I should just eat the costs and repair the unit?
Thanks for any advice!
Sincerely, Scott
