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

[surg]

If you set your Pio DV600 to 720p or 1080p, the player is doing the upconversion of your dvd movie.  But the 720p setting is better choice because you will only do one upconversion process done by DV600.  On the 1080p setting, your DV600 will upconvert to 1080p then will be downconverted by your PV8 because PV8 cannot directly read 1080p since it has 720p native res panel only.  The norms is, better if less conversion being made so less adulteration of the original signal.

But based on my experince (mine is DV600 and PV70) the best setting is DV600 outputting 450p via HDMI to my PV70.  In this setup, my DV600 is not upscaling the DVD signal, it only deinterlaces it and directly output the 450p DVD native res to my PV70.  My PV70 is doing the upconversion to 720p using its intrnal Vreal2 upconverter engine (720p is the native res of PV70 panel, like your PV8).  This for me is the preferred setting because the PV70's Vreal engine upscaler is much better than the DV600's generic Mediatech upconverter.

Try the above settings and observe closely the fonts of your DV600's menu; you will notice big difference in font's clarity.  Also, set the the DV600's settings to all 0's and Normal and do the image adjustments in your PV8 only.

thanks sir

does anyone know how this would fare against the new toshiba XD-E500?

does anyone know how this would fare against the new toshiba XD-E500?

base on the upscaler shootout done by streetsmart and the other members ..
i think the tosh is better ..

[[joms]]

Thanks for the reply. Magkano kaya ang E500 when it hits manila? Much more expensive than the 610s? and do you think the Toshiba XD-E500 can play p*rated DVDs as good as the pioneer 410/610 ?

actually hindi kasama itong player (tosh) sa shootout. and since this is being compared to oppo in the avsforum, i can safely say this is better than pioneer 410/610 series. problem is this player was launched stateside only. so technically region lock pa siya, and news coming out regarding region freeing hack on this player is still sketchy at best. kaya bringing it here is a risk someone has to take, worst that could happen you get a player that can only play your jack sparrows and r1 dvds but not r3s.

last price on amazon is 137$ x 46.5 = P6,370.5 + (aprrox) P3,000 shipping (via jack) = P9,370.5

wait nalang natin mga december sabi nila baba ito to 100$   

[[joms]]

hehe yeah. sana bumaba ng $100 yung price and sana it can play all the p*rated DVDs

Mine can play pi*** and region free BUT cannot play downloaded movies. Ganun po ba talaga?

[otepsy]

you can play downloaded movies basta hindi Hi-def rips, it can only play up to standard def (720x480)

[iiinas]

mpgs and divx (avi) should play without problems.

yup... it will only play standard def (480i) movies either divx or avi
factor in also the storage devise... it affects the data transfer sa dv 600 so possible na may stuttering if di maganda storage devise

Just got a Pana PV8 to match my DV-600AV-S. It's the first time i use HDMI since i was just using a flat CRT before.  After i set 720p (only) I can see a slow refresh bar while playing a DVD.  Tried to use a higher resolution (1080p) my video screen turns black and back to screen... kinda like on and off but no the power.  Any idea? I'm bringing my player later to where i bought it (months months back) to test it in their plasma.  You may have an idea whats causing this, thanks.

nangyari din sa akin ito, namimili sya ng usb drive...meron akong 4GB usb drive from cdrking, nung una ok sya, ngayon ayaw na mabasa, akala ko sira na ung usb slot ng dv600 ko, kaso nung ginamit ko ung 1GB usb drive, ayun nabasa naman with no problems, so malamang namimili ng usb drive ung dv600...im thinking of re-formatting my 4GB usb drive baka sakaling mag ok uli

thats the standard bro eh, either theres a problem with the player or the hdd ..

[anya618]

working naman pag usb flash drive

[ninjababez®]

working naman pag usb flash drive

as ive said there is a problem somewhere .. like every other electronics .. for some reason some brand/parts work, and some doesnt ..

For HDD, use only a USB Thumb drive or the 3.5 HDD with it's own external power supply.

The Pioneer 600avs cannot fully power the 2.5 HDD....hence, will just continue to probe the source.

Please try another known good HDMI cable.

Good luck.

I think i got a unit with a bad upscaler chip.  Already tried a different cable on a different display.  Bad thing is, after the warranty period that i knew my upscaler is not working well.

Got a latest firmware (YGC7C12A) from the internet and upgraded my unit but still no luck.  Will have Pioneer check it nalang.
