guys, please help a very problematic man...

my branded hdmi cable hasn't arrived yet and i bought this evening the P250 CDR king hdmi cable. i plugged it in my player and my Samsung 32R81B. i didn't see any problem. i let my kids watched a movie. i came back after an hour only to find out that my tv is losing picture intermittently. the picture turns "snowy" until it's completely gone. i tried all 3 hdmi inputs of the tv and the response is the same. i tried interchanging the hdmi ends between the tv and the player. no success. i have no other hdmi capable player or hdmi cable to try and isolate the problem.

has anybody experienced this? i hope it's the hdmi cable and not the tv or dvd player. pls help.

Which do you turn on first, the TV or the DVD player? Same thing happens to me if I turn on the player first. Reversing the order resolves it for me.

how do you split files? I have downloaded series of planet earth and most of them are 2GB. What software do you use?
thanks

tennisdude · « **Reply #394 on:** Apr 03, 2008 at 04:21 PM »

i'm not sure exactly how i got it fixed. i tried it the following morning and the problem's gone. i was able to use the cd-r king cable for few more days without glitch! weird...

now, i'm using the free hdmi cable from e-reply and i never experienced the same problem again. maybe just dust getting into the hdmi port of the tv, i don't know. order of which i turn on first is something i haven't noticed if there's an effect but more likely the tv gets turned on first before the player. i'll try it later to see if the order is a factor. thanks for the input.

after a few months of thinking, finally got this as my upscaler, para hindi malaspag ang ps3 and tosh hd-a3. i got it for only 6k flat with free hdmi cable pa!

pm me if you want to know from which av store i bought it from.

I've recently purchased a 32LX77 and been considering to buy this player. I'm thinking of replacing our non-progressive scanning DVD player, a Pio DV-533K, which I think has been with us for almost 6 years now. Right now (correct me if I'm wrong), the TV upscales the output of the 533K since it fills the whole screen of the TV. Will a better PQ result if I get a DV600 or will it be just the same with it? Coz I've read in some of the topics here that HD-esque PQ is not noticeable in a 32-inch display. I also want to use the HDMI ports of the 32LX77 because our player is connected via component only. I would really appreciate your replies.

By the way, what does "PJ" stand for? Madalas ko kasi nababasa yun sa mga replies nyo e.

@iinaslao - Pa-PM which AV store you bought your DV600. Thanks!

Hey,...

try not to expect a big difference or development sa picture quality if you buy an upscaling DVD,
I am using the lower model pioneer DV400, and the only difference I see via the HDMI connection is that the color is much richer, the sides of images are smoother and softer, and the relics and artifacts in the background are a bit clearer. I'd say 20 to 30% improvement, using a 42" plasma, I guess, if you are using a 37" baka mas lalong hindi din kapansin pansin...

I guess, if we really want a huge step forward in terms of audio and video quality my friend, BLU-RAY is the only way to go...

Regards,
ABC

mga gurus,

pardon my ignorant question. kung naka set ang pioneer dv600 nyo to DTS dapat ba rin naka DTS neo6 ang a/v receiver? minsan kasi naka set sa dts ang dv600 tapos yung av receiver ko naka dolby at nagustuhan ko naman ang tunog. dapat bang parehas ang setting ng dvdp at av receiver to maximize audio quality?

thanks

Your A/V Receiver should automatically set to DTS if you set your dvd player to dts, in order to do this, you should set your avr to "AUTO" to detect the format being played by your dvd player... If not, you can manually set your avr to dts. Hope this helps

@ABC & iisnilao - Thanks for your replies. I've already seen HD rips in my TV streamed via XBOX 360. I can't help but be wowed by the stunning PQ!

With today's prices of stand alone Blu-ray players, my pocket's not too deep for them. There's the PS3. Although its BR is region-free, it has DVD regional coding. I have a mixed collection of R1 and R3 DVDs. Sayang naman if I can't play them. I still have doubts if the PS3 can be used as a stand-alone player. Anyway, I just have to think twice buying the DV600.

i am manually setting my av receiver everytime to match the dv600 audio settings. have not checked though if my av receiver was set to AUTO detect. now, i need to sit down and tinker with my av receiver

otepsy,

i am using a digital coax connection to the av receiver.

same tayo ng connection pero sakin automatic na nya nadedetect pag nag dts ako sa player automatic nagd-dts yung avr pag nag dolby ako ganun din... siguro sa settings lang yan ng avr or check mo na rin yung dv600 setting sa audio yung dts>dts dolby>dolby check mo lang.

Just want to share my opinion as dv600 user too...

I don't think we have to set the player to DTS or Dolby (when connected to AVR via digital coax) because this player is capable of decoding both sound formats. It automatically switch to DTS or Dolby or Stereo depending on the DVD or CD you are playing. Therefore, we switch Dolby or DTS on the DVD's menu (if both sound format are available from the DVD), not on the player.

On the AVR side (when connected to the player via digital coax), the digital input terminal is usually set to Auto (like Denon receiver's default digital input terminal set-up).

Hope this help...

i'd rather buy a ps3 coz the ps3 can also upscale dvd to 1080p.

dvd playback is limited to what region your ps3 is. it's not region free compared to the dv600. also, dv600 costs only 1/3 of the ps3. they're not on the same league and each has its own strengths.

bought mine at theaterworks for 6.3k yata.

i agree. and most of the ntsc ps3 people buy in the philippines is from japan, so this plays r2 dvds only. singapore and hk models play only r3.

got mine 6k flat with free hdmi cable.

opps, got mine pala at 6k flat. i was confused with the wharfe 9dfs that was sold at 4.3k (actualy 4,275 pesos lang).

no free hdmi pero may free naman dun sa panny 50pv70

Was able to unlock it by doing a little research.

Used my Palm pilot to load the hack codes via program called omni remote. Can now read my R1 dvd's. Yipee!

newbie question po.

which audio settings from dv-600 you guys are using to feed your a/v receiver, dolby/dts or dolby/dts-PCM? does this means that using dolby/dts will use the dv-600 decoder and using PCM will use the a/v receiver's decoder? i had set it up to dolby/dts now because it can automatically detects dolby PLx and DTS Neo on my receiver while when setting to PCM, the receiver does not change it's settings according to dolby/dts feed.
