Topic: Pioneer DV-600AV-S (1080p upscaling dvd player)

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.

Thats the default setting, the DVD does the decoding thru HDMI. There are only 3 settings, just toggle among them and you will find one that lets the receiver decode the DD/DTS.

Or just simply read the manual!

matz,

i'm using a digital coax from dv600 to my avr. i did test it again a few minutes ago and when the dvd600's digital audio was set to Dolby or DTS, the receiver's audio setting (which is also set to detect feed signal in "AUTO") will change according to the dvd600's selection (toggling the AUDIO button-Dolby and DTS).

but when the dv600 setting is changed to Dolby>PCM or DTS>PCM, the receiver's audio setting will not change and just stayed on whatever it was set before, either Dolby or DTS. so when using the dvd's PCM out, the receiver sometimes is set to Dolby PLx while the dv600 is set to DTS.

btw, i am reading again the manual ang tried to digest what's written on it

Pioneer DV-600AV-S vs. HTPC Media Player: Watching a regular DVD into a 32" -42" LCDTV

Is there any noticeable diffence in terms of Picture Quality between these two?
1. DVD played in an Upscaling DVD player (example: / OPPO DV980H)
2. DVD played in an HTPC Media Player (Media Player Classic / VLC / PowerDVD)

Earlier, I tried to play an original LOTR DVD on my PC, sobrang laki ng difference ng PQ compared sa ripped Bluray ng LOTR (720p). Hindi maganda yung DVD sa PC.

Would you say na pareho or minimal difference lang ang PQ ng ripped HD-DVD/Bluray (720p) at regular DVD played on Upscaling DVD player?

Hi I noticed the picture on this player is dark. This is the default setting in the player. I have to turn up the contrast and brightness way up in the player. Do you guys experience this? I dont think its my tv setting bec I compared my Sony ns76 with the same setting and the pioneer is really way darker. What settings do you guys have? Any feedbacks will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Different brands vary from different factory and default settings. Even two units of the same brand and model may vary from one another if calibrated differently.

I agree po... and to add... overtime po napapansin ko na nag-iimprove po ang performance ng display, therefore, i need to re-calibrate

Saw the 2008-2009 brochure in the Pioneer Singapore website.  The new models are coming out.  DV-610AV-S and  DV-410V-S(-K).  May impovement kaya?  Or just another marketing gimmick para bumili ng bago?  Personally I like the looks of the DV-410V kasi may black.

does the ps3 upscales sd dvd? i've read this on another thread that ps3 does not upscale sd dvds.

Yes, the PS3 upscales sd dvd. Its very good. Perhaps one of the best. Unfortunately, may region lock. Also, if you use it for sd, I guess you reduce the life of its head, which is quite mahal din.

To all users, may naririnig ba kayong sound coming out of the player while playing dvd or cd? mine produces a whirring sound, not loud but noticable.  I just wanna check if it's normal.

TIA

mine does not produce any whirring sound when playing.

Sir, what I meant was sound like the dvd player reading the disc.  I tried my other 2 dvd player and it also has a sound.  I just noticed that this particular player produces louder sound while playing.

ask ko lang .... if i were to get a dvd player with the purpose of getting good upconverted video, can i go for the dv400 instead?

read that the difference between the dv400 and the dv600 is the sacd feature only.

pareho lang ba sila ng image quality or mas better upconverting player talaga ang dv600?

thanks uli.

mas maganda ang upconversion ng 600 kasi mas advance ang chip na gamit, if im not mistaken parehong mediatek chip pero mas advance ang sa 600.

[WaynedBrain]

Mabuhay 600AV owners. One of the best players to.

[WaynedBrain]
