got the 5986 after some hard bargain in the setup screen, i can't access
tv type and progressive. it is greyed out. i have set it to 1080p on the HDMI
settings. using it with the pv80h. anyone having similar issues??

a question

can i just download a HQ 4.7gb movie of the internet and play it on the TV?

Will i get good picture quality as a dvd player ?

Anyways, will a PS3 do the job as well ?

for those using the philips 5986... what is your firmware version?
did anyone tried updating to the V43 from philips website?

I have brought the Pioneer DV410 DVD player.....very good....picture compare to my old JVC unit

With upscaling to HD.....better picture especially watching from my 50' TV

Better sound also...might be this time I connect my DVD player with Audiquest coaxial cable rather using the optical cable....compare both sound....winner will be my new DVD with Coaxial cable.....

Moreover....I am not expected that the DVD410 can play Divx movie from my 4G USB thumbdrive....haaa

I didn't go to survey much....I think I get the reasonable price....$465

Yeah, am using DV410 too and I am very satisfy with it. I am using this player mainly to watch divx movie using my 4GB thumb drive.

swt, still no yamaha s661 users out there?

I updated mine before I sold it. Just download and burn to blank CD then follow instruction.

I've been telling people coaxial sounded better that optical

Not something common we can c in shop that's why hard to find anybody use this. Plus it overshadowed by other brands. Just go with Pioneer DV410 la or Philip 5996.

what about 2nd hand unit of 600av at 650/= that one got SACD .. anyway what is SACD leh? super audio ... like dvd > blu ray ? cd > sacd?

That's why this time I changed to Coaxial cable...I read your previous comment...Somemore, the guy from shop also said better.... now I confirmed by my own audition....keeee

DV600AV highly recommended. PQ is excellent and even better than 5986. I never see any direct comparison between 400/410 with 600AV but AV Forum said 600AV better (only for guidance...don't take it 100% ). SACD is Super Audio CD. Multichannel and suppose to sound better than normal music CD but limited titles and expensive.

then for the price of 650 2nd hand still a grabber?

I bought mine new at 850 so if yours still under warranty then 650 is a bargain.

..but.. if you already have HDMI dvdp.. why still use coax and not HDMI?

like that i'd better take a new on .. he claims it wast 1K+ and only 2 months .. i get the yamaha la.

u have to understand the use of hdmi and coaxial, coaxial are specialy design to deliver digital sound data from dvdp to ur av processor while hdmi only carry a video to your av processor (what was happened to my 5996 and 506 onkyo)

i thought hdmi carry both video and audio...

AIYA...NEW unit only $670 la for Pioneer DV610 DVD player...I rather to buy the new one if $20 different

Picture vise...comparison for DV610 and DV410...same same la..the different is DV610 have decoder for DVD-A and SACD with multichannel output..
Disc for SACD and DVD-A...very expensive la...
Initially , I tot to buy the DV610...but i scrap my plan....even I have two SACD disc....think back...seldom listen to SACD or DVD-A.....
Save a bit and buy a good cable

Future, when price drop for SACD disc or DVD-A, will consider la

aiya....I use my amp just for music only (My Amp doesn't support HDMI, I choose to buy this cause I plan for my amp just for music, if pay much more for amp with upconversion, not worth, unless much more for amp with upscalling).....therefore, I connenct my HDMI directly to TV and coaxial cable to my receiver.....

Yes....you are absolute correct.....

Dude...u sure DV-600AV or 610AV can get at that price?
If I not mistaken there are also DV-600K and 600S which are cheaper than 600AV

This depend where you buy...I saw the DV610 at Best Denki cost $999 but....
When I went to A&L Armcorp mall, I brought the DV410 for $465 and he offer me DV610 for $670 only

Look for the guy called Alex
