KVCD on Pioneer DV-380-S(/K)
Hi guys,
Just to let you know that following DVDREasy's (Pedro's) recomendation, I bought an LG DVX9843K. Due to my famous luck with electric/electronic equipment that unit was DOA :(. So I was given another unit just to find out that it's digital audio (coax) port was either malfunctioning or incompatible with my Yamaha digi-amp. So I returned that unit and bought a Pioneer DV-380-S. S for silver / K for black, go figure... That unit cost me 99€ against the 79€ of the LG unit but I have to be fair: those were the most well spent extra 20€ that I have ever paid :D. The image is sooooo much better than anything I've ever seen 8O. And this baby plays everything that I've thrown at it :D. Even OGM :P. I'm still testing every capability of the player but I'm quite confident that this is the best DVD player that 99€ can buy. Soon I will post my full tests results ;) Cheers |

And I can tell thtat you will play whatever you want (try long "24 frames" GOP in MPEG1 480*480 DVDs... that works :p). |
That's it Phil ;).
I have never ever seen a picture quality such as this SAP delivers. It's absolutely amazing. It plays everything, even wicked test KVCDs with the extreme settings. Hell, it even plays XviDs :lol:. So they say, because I haven't tried converting a movie to XviD just to test it. But I will, just to proove that the unit is working 100%. BTW, the only downside that I've found is lack of on-screen MP3 tags :(. But that might be solved in future firmware upgrades :D. BTW2, this unit is said to be exactly the same as it's bigger brother DV-585. The only visible differences between both is that DV-585 can play SACD and it has an digi-optical output to the amp/receiver ;). Well, DV-585 is a lot more expensive than DV-380 but if you need SACD support, then that's your best bet with Pioneer units. BTW3, DV-380 shares the same firmware with DV-585 ;). Cheers |
