I might like to try this.. it's cheap and can do upscaling..

just got it for rm200
looks ok, too bad it cant do rmvb.

tested with lg 1080p tv.... cannot work in 1080p. max is 1080i

the upscaling function works though. normal dvd looks ok on 1080i

tested also on 160gb hard disk. works!

anyone want this player?

what do you means "anyone want this player? you want to sold it?
is it the player so bad?? Hope can get more user coment here about the player.
i think many menber are interested to this model also.

its good for basic upscaling of dvd and avi files. i would say its very good up to 720p. unfortunately its not compatible with my lg lcdtv though at 1080p

yes. returned to c4. luckily got 8 day to return it.

You got the wrong cable. You need HDMI 1.3 in order to get 1080p.
Probably the HDMI cable that comes with the cornell is of the older version.
I had this problem with my PS3. Initially it can only work at 1080i with my XD TV, the one on offer by MBF Credit Card. Using a RM65 thick HDMI cable with double noise suppressors.

Old HDMI prior to 1.3 version can only work at 1080i because of the lack of bandwidth. Noise suppressors cleans up the signals in order to reduce the chance of errors by filtering high frequencies. Unfortunately this reduces bandwidth.

Once I got my RM15 HDMI 1.3 from china, it proved to be perfect. My PS3 can work at 1080p now. PQ is slightly better compared to 1080i.

So you got yours at Carre 4. I saw one at City Parade, Centre Point KK selling for RM220 at its lowest price.
I can't get it from any of the Giant stores.

This cornell model, includes a coaxial digital output in addition to it optical output.

This is important for me because my Denon Amplifier comes with only one optical but also has a coaxial input.

PQ of any DVD player should be equivalent. I compared them with my old Panasonic DVD player with the cheaper Khind, Akira DVD players.

My current cornell CAV-DV103Kc that I bought for MR135 JUNE 2008 only has 1080i output. If you set it at 1080i, PQ appears better even for VCD but my wife disagrees.

When I switched off its power, sometimes it loses its configurations.

Since I notice that even at 1080i on my Full HD TV, its quality is almost as good, I prefer to buy the cheaper CAV-DV103kC but it is no longer available at KK. I find that RM220 is still a bit too high as a backujp DVD player but I may not have any choice.

For more RM299 you can get Sony or Phillips with DivX ultra but based on my research DivX ultra only has menu functions. Not sure if it can support DivX 6 or above. Cornell only supports DivX 5 and below.

For Karaoke and USB functions it will set you more than RM400 but for the Sony and Phillips, but with DivX ultra. However they are Region locked unlike Cornell, at least my old Cornell.

Saw DV3080H $189 at jusco bdr perda. I was curious so just check it out. After touching here and there, alamak the LCD display fell off.
Not sure if that unit does any upscaling, the box just written there 1080p ready.

If it has HDMI port, it should be able to handle 1080p upscaling. Its quality should be good if you have a Full HD 1080p display.

If I were you, I would have bought it.

I am considering Sony NS728h based on the indian market which is similar to the specs of the Latest Sony DVD player with HDMI and USB that can be bought for RM280 at KK. That cornell DV3080h is now sold at RM230 and I cannot find any of it any more at that one shop.

Sony'S ns728H lacks a few functions. It has no optical output. No Karaoke. No copy from USB function. No XVid. May not play all regions.

You can burn to CD your mp3 from your USB. I have not tested it but I doubt it cannot be done. I've a PC so I don't need this functionality.

Sony NS728 claimed to have good picture quality because of good signal processing and drive motor which allowed it to play old and damaged DVD easily, but I can also play damaged DVD using my old 1080i-capable Cornell. I got a feeling that Cornell could be using Sony or Panasonic chipsets also.

I watched the Sony playing an original DVD supplied by Sony displayed on a Sony 1080p TV. It looked impressive. Almost as good as a Blu-ray picture.

I may end up buying this Sony because I can only use coaxial, since my optical is used up by PS3.

1)can we watch divx through the USB port?
2) Can it output ac3 sound (through optical/coaxial) when we plug in divx with ac3 sound using the USB port?

tq

i have cornell dvd player, the silver-colored version without hdmi output..

so far i'm impressed with the player as it can read avi files direct from thumbdrive or portable hdd... alternately, you can also burn avi files into a dvd and it will still read it well...

since it cannot play mp4 and rmvb, normally i will convert them into avi first..

have you tried watching divx that has ac3 sounds?

Bought it last weekend at iOi Jusco for RM189.00;
using HDMI connecting to my 42" LCD (panasonic) and work as a charm.
DivX work wells too on USB thumb drive.

I am using the DivX converter to convert YouTube files into DivX format;
the DivX converter can be set to output the file as 720p or 1080p.

I went to many places, HDMI DVD player will cost RM299 and above. I guess Cornell is a good buy.

maybe the HDMI cable problem ....check whether the cable connected tightly enough ?

when use normal RCA cable connected with lcd tv , got problem like this ?

good info..im searching for a dvd with hdmi to be connected on my lcd..

I got one unit too. I use it watch all movies or tv series that I downloaded from internet. I hope the newer version will supprt mkv format.

Hmm . . . recently i just bought my LCD panasonic L37X20k, but when i try the HDMI. I only can see picture but without sound. the DVD player i used is the cornell CAV-DV3080H. Is this device problem or?

Hi Guys,

I just saw this DVD player in Carrefour mid-valley selling at RM160 and considering in getting it.

Can anyone comment on the lens sensitivity of this player?

I currently own a Hyundai HDMI DVD player and it's very sensitive, alot of P*rated discs are unreadable.
