Hey everyone.
Well I've got a friend that has a Brand New Sony 65" HDTV ready Projection Television. IT looks fucking amazing. They have a Pioneer DVD player. Which looks rather good on it. I think it has a DVI port on the back? Or something that looks like it.
It has the standard co-ax, Svideo inputs
as well as Some Kind of RGB inputs. The PIoneer DVD player also has those RGB outputs.
Well anyways that PIoneer always pauses when the DVD switches layers.
So I would like to advise them on something that will take full advantage of their TV.

Recomendations guys? and ladies?

Well, the first criteria to meet is getting a Progressive Scan DVD Player to take advantage of the HDTV using the component video outouts(RGB style). They could go with Sony just for integration sake, plus they make good players, especially there ES series. I went with Denon myself, nice large chassis for steady play, good decoder chip. The DVI port on the TV is for a HDTV tuner.

jay911, or Evil, or anyone,

Does that stop the pause for the layer change?


I have a 36" screen, HDTV, and a fairly new (less than 1 year) DVD player. It is a progressive scan player. I have the three RGB ports connected up, as well as the sound ports.

But I still get that slight pause during the layer change.

Oh, need to add, it is a Sony to a Sony system.

Evil,

Specific models, for Sony there is the DVP-NS999ES, it's high dollar but a great unit and also does SACD if your into high resolution CD. They have a bunch of more affordable models, so it is up to the wallet. I have a Denon DVD-2800 II, which leads to DenverDons question about layer change. It has a 4MB buffer to reduce those layer changes. All the Denons have that feature, a person would have to investigate to see who else does this.

FWIW - I don't get the pauses with my Panasonic Carousel.

jay911,

Thanks. When I bought the DVD player I knew diddly-squat about them, or what questions to ask.

For future shopping excursions, I now have more information and can probably ask better questions.

Yes. I hate those layer changes! That is like the draw back of DVD.
But here's the kicker. I never knew about thos problems till recently. Why you may ask.
I watch DVDs on my computer(s) almost exclusively.

So are the layer change pauses gone now with these new breed of DVD players?
