Well, my HDMI cable is 20m length. If I use QED, it will be the same price as my projector...
Anyway, I am happy with my HDMI at this moment. I haven't even put up my component video and video cable. Ha! Ha!. So, all Red, Green, Blue and Yellow not up yet. Actually, what am I talking about. Even my projector is not up. I am still using a stool placed on my dining table to watch my movies. Ha! Ha!
My ceiling mount bracket not arrive yet.

Anyway, I've bought a Video Calibration DVD but seems still having some payment problem with them. Paid but they keep on saying I not yet pay. Haiz.

Well, about 490V, many forumers in the AV discussion forums dislike this model. Seems it is not as what they have expected from a Pioneer player. This goes for their 696 as well.

So, thats why I bought the Sony 76H. At least I got good remarks from some Australian AV forum.

Wow... how much u got the player for?
Mind to share? Take some pics pls...

Well, I will get it for you... wait...

Here is the link

The link

Wait... I remember I have another site...

Aiya... c2p Tsunami.... now line is so slow... wait wait...

This one about Sony 76H
Sony 76H

Another on Sony
Sony N76

OK... this is the one...
Benchmarking...

For Sony 76H, I bought it for a week now. Not 1 disc that I can't play. So, I am still crossing fingers. Actually, I never like Sony products. Always feel Sony adds many salt and pepper to their goods. But right now, I am kinda happy with the player. I don't like the response and the remote though.

I tried on my Tomorrow Never Die Disc already. Its warped badly. That disc cannot be played on the older version of Sony ( my sister's DVD player).

This disc, I have tried it on Denon 1930 (Hi-way Laser, SS2). It got stucked on chapter 2. Didn't try further.
Tried on Philips-Took 2 times to load the disc. First time cannot detect. 2nd time ok and finished the whole CD.

Then, tried on a lousy printed DVD. My old JVC played it with checkered boxes. Denon 1930 OK, no prob. Phlips OK.

And both these disc tried on the Sony 76H. Both went smoothly.

Gladly. I don't make money from this but heck... took me hours and nights of searching through internet. Almost opted for Oppo. But chickened out at the end.

Anyway, there is not much choice left for us for these HDMI players. So, what to do?

Kakaka... ya... and I believe soon, many better HDMI players gonna come out... or is it not?

Few years back, I bought my first VCD player, china made that can play SVCD for RM470.

And I told myself... wahhhh damn cheap.

Oppo? Can't find in M'sia. Only in Singapore through reseller called SLT Technologies Ltd. But paying Sing$400+ for a good player without warranty or after sales service... hmmm... I opted Sony... Ha! HA!...

Why the LG HD DVD player looks like samsung one?

The last 2 are Samsung

Didn't know you know the story so well...

So, the Star says LG player can play both but this link here says different laser? So how? Or issit I got the wrong idea?

Well, there will not be 2 different format in the future. Most probably it will end up with 1 only and the other one goes bankurpt or something. Or they join venture.

Last time, there was this MVD, Another type of format/player. Some ppl even advertise the player in Astro magazine years back. But heck... I believe only few of us heard of it. The technology supposed to be better than DVD but where it is now?

BD or HDDVD... soon, only 1 will emerge. What you think? OK... lets vote...

Alamak... this forum cannot vote one... kakaka...

You need both hands to clap.
Read your manual where your HD receiver. Some has DVI, some HDMI, some SMART connector (correct spelling?), and now, component video can do the job as well.
Samsung or XBox 360 are using component. But Xbox only for its game.

Get the samsung DVD player that allows component output at 720p or I am not sure whether this works but what if you get a HDMI amp that can convert it for you? You all taiko... is this possible?

Sony NS76H is acceptable for low end HDMI player. Higher end is not. Most might want to get a 3930 or at least 2930 Denon.

Sony NS76H does not come with a HDMI cable. Nope! But its considerably cheap nowadays.
I might be able to get some gold plated tip 2m & 3m HDMI cable for sale. Anyone interested?

Denon 2930 around RM3000. Never asked on the 3930. But Pioneer 989 is around 3k+ touching 4k.

If you asked me, its not worth spending so much when we most of the time watch ahem DVDs

Sony NS76H does upscale to 720p and 1080i. You get to choose somore.



The cheapest one is the Samsung. You still need a HDMI player to help you upscale only that you can't us HDMI cable to help you.

Sorry, my mistake. I didnt see the DVIx there... sorry. I thought normal upscaling.

Well, The player is considered peanuts if compared to other investments on the AV.

But I never regret every single sen on my Home Theater. Everytime I watch a movie in the house, I feel like I need to buy ticket, then when finish, I feel like you go cinema and movie finish time. Ha! HA!...

I get the best seat, I get the best sound effect seat... But of course, my mom says it feels like watching movie in the class kambing (olden times, front rows are cheaper, they call it class kambing).

Its true. An best part is, I can pause when need go toilet, I can stop when feel sleepy and when hungry, the fridge is just 3 steps away. Ha! hA!...

I will make 1 seperate thread once all done. I've been taking pictures and all. Now, left eiling mount bracket. Once that done, I will do cable laying using PVC conduit (cable tray). And may be I will go get my component video and composite video as well.

So, hope can wait...

Wait till Ahem HD DVD come out first. I no money buy HD DVD and it is limited at the moment. Most probably buy PS3 as a BD player. Kekekeke... 2 in 1 combo.
