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

[frootloops]

For those who owned this 600 or other upscaling player, can you give me a ratio (%) on how well it improved the PQ compared to your regular player? Kindly include the connection you used. TIA

[vtec3]

as compared to a regular 480p player the difference is noticeable at least 50% improvement. Pero notice ko it still depends mostly on the DVD (bitrate). But as compared to my Samsung HD845 upconvert thru component not much improvement if any (DV-600 thru HDMI)

On a 32" LCD... i can't point out the difference between upscaled (1080p) via HDMI vs. standard (480p) via component... baka on larger LCD's dun kita masyado difference

[vtec3]

i noticed din now mas madali ng mag power on yung unit ko as compared to when it was new. Before mga 10 seconds now takes shorter time

probably puwede mo try set yung DV 600 sa 480p then compare with your regular progressive DVD player set also at 480p and see kung may difference din.

Wow! 50%? that is a huge leap in PQ! What's your screen size bro?

What's your referrence material?

Have you tried using component iso HDMI on the 600?

Thanks Chief!

You mean sir you are using 32" and 600 upscaled at 1080p using HDMI yet you do not notice the difference? So what benefit do you get from the 600? Thanks sir.

42" Plasma, if you use Budget DVD's the PQ will not be as good as movie using DVD9. Yung Cars DVD is very very good when using the Pio 600 as compared to using a normal DVD player. Mas buhay yung color using Pio 600 although have not tried to compare it with my Cars BD copy. Although I have tried The Rock Criterion and compare it with The Rock BD and I would say ok na din yung DVD copy. Although mas maganda details ng BD 

I have not tried using component sa Pio 600, kasi as far as i know it only upscale using HDMI. I have tried playing around the default setting 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p and nagiiba yung picture quality and at times pati yung screen size.

Mayron lang times na when I use the Pio 600 hindi napupuno yung width nung screen. I don't know the reason why this happens, what i do is i turn unit off and turn it on again and most of the time na resolve yung problem. Also mayron ako na experience upon turning the unit on yung logo ng Pioneer hindi reddish pink yung color and when i played the movie parang black & white

on a regular TV no difference at all.  On a bigger (42" and up) TV with HD capability using HDMI you will see a difference. mas sharper ang image. cant put an accurate ratio but given the price its well worth the improvement that it brings.

[frootloops]

Okay, so must be HDMI, if component not much. thanks

Hi, anyone knows kung san makakabili ng black version nito? Ive been to The Home Theater yesterday at ubos na daw. Papalitan na daw ito ng bagong model, which is DV-610AV. I just dunno kung meron din black sa ganitong model. Maganda sana black para match sa setup ko.

I write divx avi files to a flash drive, and the player plays them just fine from usb port.
But when I copy the same files to a DVD (data dvd), the player wont recognize the files and I only get a message that the disc cannot be played.
I read that the player can play divx movies from usb port or from cd and dvd.
What might be wrong?

[eksi]

what software are you using in burning it to your dvd?
try neo software

[softtouch]

It does not matter what software I use, or what brand of blank DVD I use, I tried it all.
The DV-400 is supposed to be able to play avi files (DivX) form a) usb or b) DVD media.
It plays them from USB just fine, but not from DVD.

Hi!  How do you play divx files in the DV400 using a flash drive? TIA

just copy your movie files on your USB, insert it on the player, then press USB from the remote.

OK.  I'll try that.  Thanks!

I burned my DVD Data via NTI CD/DVD Maker 7 and plays perfectly fine. Your player should display "MPEG" when it reads the disc. Try playing  on your settings, baka dun lang ang problem.

Downloaded movies via the web, my dv400 played both versions on the usb and on the burned dvd,...

either the player is malfunctioning or something is wrong with the dvd writer that the player cannot read it..

just a guess though....

I have 2 of them, and both are doing exactly the same.
I used Nero to burn them to a data DVD. I tried DVD+R and DVD-R, and closed the session, but no success.

magkano na po ngayon and can it play pi***dvd?

magkano na po ngayon and can it play pi***dvd?

yes it can, got mine for 6k, i think pa ubos na ito sa mga suking av stores.

ask ko lang malaki ba difference nito compared sa progressive scan with component cables?

[iiinas]

ask ko lang malaki ba difference nito compared sa progressive scan with component cables?

i'd say theoretically yes, sd materials are encoded at 480i, progressive scan makes it 480p (progressive). by using hdmi to upscale to 720p or even 1080i or p will definitely make a difference in pq. that's why its a minor upgrade for a lot of members here, specially for those who have a lot of dvd discs, breathing new life to their old collection. 

[anya618]

would i be able to notice the difference on a 32" lcd tv or only for 40" and above?

[iiinas]

i would say very slight on a 32" and bigger difference for "40 and above. i suggest you bring some of your favorite dvds and audition it so you will know really if its something for you or not. but investing in a player that can improve your old dvd collection is not a bad idea, specially when time comes when you have to buy a bigger panel. 

[thesaint]

Try watching HD 720p encoded files divx can't play.
I think this player not supported HD movies due to
limitation of the chipset. Upscalling lang talaga.

[surg]

Should this player be set already in 1080 or it will upscale automatically?

[iiinas]

should be set in the player's video settings.

[anya618]

is this dvd player region locked or region free?
