I have an unusual situation involving my purchase of a Blu-Ray player. My collection is all standard DVD's, and I currently rent DVD's from Net-Flix. As such, I'm using a standard DVD player/recorder. Occasionally, friends will offer to loan me their rented Blu-Ray DVD's to watch, which I obviously can't do without a Blu-Ray player. I'd purchase one, but, I need a Blu-Ray with component (green/blue/red) outputs, as I am continuing to use a standard definition CRT television and have no plans to up upgrade to HD. All new Blu-Ray players output solely through HDMI and composite. I want to continue to watch my standard DVD's through the higher quality video afforded by the component inputs on my TV, and I really don't want to have two players - one Blu-Ray and one standard DVD - to watch movies.
From what I've been told, I need to purchase a used Blu-Ray player from around 2010 or earlier, in order to get the necessary component outputs. Does anyone have any recommendation on good makes/models I should keep an eye out for? Also, any suggestions where to find like-new older Blu-Ray players other than on Craig's List?
