I saw DV410 sold at Eng HIFI, Penang BM

For DV610, best buy at A &L Sungai Wang RM480 (Free HDMI cable)

Yeah, I checked with them also before getting my DV410. I don't think A&L was selling DV610 for RM480. Which sales assistant did you talked to?

Brother,

Maybe you look for Mr Alex at A&L amcorp mall, i bought it on 30-10-2008 with rm 480 but without any hdmi cable     

Brother,

first of all ,ur lcd 40" full HD? if just HD ready keep on using the existing dvd player, if the lcd 40" with full HD
better upgrade th dvd player, cause pioneer dv610 availible to upscaling  to 1080P.

Component cable just support until 576p or more and less, but sure can't support 1080P.

In my hometown, there are 3 types. First is thick paperbox D9 copied from Original DVD. Second is one cover paper D9 ripped from BD, and third is with blue plastic casing. The 2nd and last are the same quality, only one with plastic casing.

For PQ, I do agreed that some of these BD ripped D9 yield clearer picture compare to original dvd which cost much expensive! Therefore, most of my collection are these D9. Someone can comment further why is it better PQ than original, maybe like overfloe said, bitrates superiority?

As for SQ, have you guys noticed, the DTS Surround format in ahem D9 do not always generate better sound, although most of the time it is. For example, recently I bought Hell Boy II, normally I will choose DTS format, but during the movie, I switched to Dolby 5.1 and immediately, the sound becomes louder with clearer surround. I have experienced in some other movies of my collection. So, everytime when I watch a D9, I will make it a habit to do comparison between the 2 surround formats first before finishing the entire movie and later finds that I am not getting the best sound format out of the disc.
