Configuration question

Well-known member
I may be upgrading to M-class/IDV set up and had a couple questions:

I currently have a 1U, 1080p player, 1080p mini.

Basically, the question is this. If I get the IDV (M700), do I need to get an M500 or will an M300 suffice. I have a stand alone Blu-ray player in the rooms where I would watch Blu-rays if I have a rental disc that I want to watch.

does the answer change if I trade in the 1080 player?

lastly and semi-related - is the 25% trade-in credit only for 1080 players or mini-players as well? is it only applied to M300&M500's or (doubting this) M700 as well?

Thanks!

If all you need is a second zone without import, the M300 is fine. That said, if the price margin isn't an issue for you, having a second BD-import capable device for when the M700 decides to get snippy could be handy.
