My 2 cents, I got myself a HDMI DVDP just for the 1080P input to my Plasma 40PV80H. I was expecting a big difference against my 480P but to be honest the Panny Upscaler was already good.

There was some improvements on the colour as the pioneer DV410 had more richer colour. The good thing is HDMI connections are simple. Not 3 cables for component and 2 cables for Audio. smile.gif

I have a NAD 521BEE CD Player and the DV-410, The NAD wins when playing Audio CD's. After all why not, NAD is designed to play Audio CD's. The question is are you an audiophile?. Best is to go to A&L and ask them to play a CD with NAD CD players and then play the same on a DV-610 or DV-410. If you dont hear any difference they count your blessings, cause you just saved a lot of $$$.

I do have one cap ayam called Akira..............The probelm is when I select Audio format to DTS, the language is automatically diverted to French or Spanish. Only Dobly 5.1 can play English version. Thats why I want to search for a player with proper DTS out since it is clearer than the DD 5.1, I do not know how to change the audio language to english when select DTS from the crap Akira player.
*
Remote dont have the "Audio" selection kah?. Thats how I change for all the DVDP's i have. By the way how much was the Akira "from Singapore" cap ayam that you bought. I also looking for a budget player at the moment. Does it have HDMI output?.

For me I will still buy dvd and not thinking of venture into Bluray world. I think the premium paid for bluray disc & player is exceptionally high. Sony will be the one to have a last laugh as the licence fees alone will bring them a junk of wealth.

But I will not buy dvd other than the BD copied or dvd9. Using a upscaling player can still play superb pic quality with digital surround. In addition there are plenty available in reasonable price.

Whats the current price for ahem BD's copied to D9 ? Have not bought ahems for along time

kfthoo, thanks for the highlight. I guess not many people use Panny DVDP here.
Iwanted to get the DVD S54 but it had no optical out so had to go for Pioneer 410.

Yesterday paid a visit to Jusco and SenQ, Pioneer DV-410 going for Rm 480, LG DV 392H going for RM 259. Both with upscaling to 1080P and USB support with DIVX. Was tempted to get the LG as my second HDMI player.

Yeap....no problem at all. Just use a reliable USB extension in between of hard disk. Avoid direct plug in from external hard disk.

Funny when i tried my external USB disk it did not work. I connected it directly without any external power source. Via thumb drives it works well.

I think the Hardisk need to be formatted to FAT32 instead of NTFS for the player to be able to read.

Will try it, it is NTFS now, Thanks

All those with DV410 and 42PV80HM combination please check if you have this problem,

When the DV410 output is set to RGB or Component via HDMI, there is interference like 'light snowy" image on blacks.
You can test this with switching on the DV410, it will show the PIONEER logo with black background. Snowy white dots fill the screen over the black back ground.

When the DV410 output is set to FULL RGB via HDMI, this does not occur. There is a smooth black back ground.

You may have to set your brightness a little bit more to see this issue.

Please test on your sets and let me know if this is the same. If not i may have a problem.

you are seeing stars.. better go for eye check up.. hehehe

Not really lah! I can see the same stars depending how much brightness I set on the PV80HM even without any source. For instance set Contrast, Colour, Brightness, Sharpness all to 50, then increase only brigthness to like 52-53 you will aslo see the stars. Its the brightness that is set a tad bit more.
Try it tongue.gif
