you're right "dc".
the audio in 48k have "proud" basses, clear quality.
new model seems that don't have this problem.
but thinking in newbys, we need litlle samples to give them to test.
some old player don't like 48k,
then after burn a test in cdrw, all can choose what works.
see what happen in my player:
burning svcd in nero with menu(images) and audio 48k,
sometimes i loose the sincro.
in 352x240 all audio bitrates works perfect.
or i remove the menu or change the audio to 44k.
i'm trying to buy a new player to remove this and
some more problems.....i'm searching a new one!
for my surprise,the new model of Semp in Brasil,
don't play standards vcds or svcds...kvcds?...forget! don't work!
and the price is in the stars.
only play dvds,no mp3 too!
well,better is trash this model,don't?
