blu ray player dvd recorder image
shjOlds_44
I'm looking for Blu-Ray player with BD Live and a connection for Sirius or XM. I really like to get one that is a recorder IF it's worth it. I am also looking for one that can upscale DVD's running a 5.1 channel digital or analog outputs.
Thanks.

I agree with MTS, the Oppo BDP-80 is an outstanding universal player, it has 7.1 channel outputs so if your receiver won't decode the new HD audio formats, the Oppo will. I don't believe there are any recorders out yet - except for a computer connected drive. As far as a Sirius/XM connection an AV receiver would have those, not a stand alone blu-ray player.

Is getting a Home Theater Power Center important to have?

I'm planning on upgrading to a 60" plasma TV,Amplifier,and Blu-Ray HD player.I also would be connecting 2 powered speakers with built-in sub-woofers and a DVD/VCR recorder.Would getting one of those 8 outlet power centers that sell at Best Buy,etc. for around 2- 3 hundred dollars make any improvement in the quality of the picture and/or sound? If not then would any multi outlet power strip do?

I love how people with no empirical data weigh in on a matter specifically your investment.
Here is the low down on most surge protectors. Most use a MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) it is placed in parallel to the circuit these have rating of conduction, most in surge protectors are right around 130V give that any UL products need to pass a 30V swing in under over voltage. Problem with this design is that the MOVs need to bias every half-second and are slow response. Plus that the Parallel design means that if the MOV is damaged it no longer will function, BUT the strip will still provide power! YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHEN IT IS DAMAGED.
Monster uses a modified transorb set up that is superior in the response time, it does not need to bias every half second, and if the protection circuit is somehow damaged the strip will not function. So your equipment is always protected.
I would say that most equipment at best buy would not benefit to a margin most would see, but it there. The primary reason to get one is the absolute dirty and transient filled power that for some reasons most companyâs feel is necessary. Given too that most consumer devices are marketed at such a price point most will dispose rather than fix means the manufactures cut corners and design more marginal circuitry every day, and it only gets worse.
I would recommend getting one that provides a good joule rating (watts per second, joules, should exceed a 10 to 1 ratio of nominal current draw) a system you describe should be about 3000 joules peak of protection.
BTW belkin and others use a "protection light" but the circuit is still parallel and all MOVs must be faulty to show an issue. So the protection will degrade over time.
Contact with me with any father questions.
EDIT: Below is the model I would recommend for your use. I would add that any model you want to get should have a lifetime product warranty and a connected equipment warranty.
