And the disc that causes the problem. I have a Panasonic A-110 and have about 3 disc that won't play on it. The reason being is I need a firmware update for the player. Ron H. I think you need a firmware update too. Do you have the Matrix on DVD? If you do did you have problems with that disc too? Problems Im looking for are, Pixelation, Frame Freezing, and the ever dreaded NO DISC. Gojira54  [Link] |

A hundred bucks later, it's having more problems. Some of the original problems were fixed, but other problems started happening after service. I'm going to take my player back in to Panasonic, but I'm definitely going to get another DVD player ASAP.

| sonic Deactivated User 1178 Posts 12/99 |  Posted - Feb 5 2000 : 3:25PMI own the 3109, which I truly admire..because it's a sandwich dvd player. Get it? Sandwich? Takes two? Two porns?  <small>shit</small> But I gotta be very honest with you..2109 and 3109 does not play Azz Good Azz It Getz which is black straight Sunshine Porn. My brother-in-law's 2109 and my 3109 are not upgraded..so maybe it's because of that? But these players play every title out there right now. Just not the 2 out of the millions. [Link] |

| Saki At-Large 2087 Posts 11/99 | Posted - Feb 6 2000 : 11:26AM One of the reasons why that's the case is that most problems are intermittent and will affect some players and not others even within the same manufacturer and model. For example, the HTF page on Panasonic players lists a number of titles which are known to have problems with those players. I have never had any problems with those titles. Even if there is a clear cut case of a glitch that affects all players of a certain manufacturer (or other quality control problem, such as incorrect menu linking), I've found only a handful of studios that really seem to care. I suspect that they're more concerned about A.) getting the title to the street as fast as possible and B.) doing it as cheaply as possible. Neither of those priorities encourage thorough quality assurance or specs compliant mastering & duplication. Unlike the mainstream industry, the feedback loop to the studios aren't developed in adult. There aren't major retailers that buy thousands of units of a particular title that will give the studio hell for releasing a bad disc. The production runs are much smaller, meaning that there are fewer people to encounter incompatabilities. And, I think since it's adult, there are fewer people that are willing to speak up. Hopefully, ADT will help change that! Saki ------------------ [Link] |
| Gojira54 Member Port Huron,Mi,usa 37 Posts 1/00 | Posted - Feb 8 2000 : 6:33AM One of the reason I haven't gotten a firmware update is not all titles are affected. And sometimes it disappears. Robocop for example at the point of layer switch it used to pixelate. But now it plays fine. I think glitches in systems will be a way of life. Hopefully as time goes on they won't be so prevalent. Lets just hope studios are paying attention. Gojira54 [Link] |
| Saki At-Large 2087 Posts 11/99 | Posted - Feb 8 2000 : 3:07PM I have friends with Sony, Pioneer, and (new) Toshiba players, and they have never encountered anywhere close to the number of intermittent problems that I have. Even more baffling is that in all cases, problematic discs (including ones that will not play at all on my Panasonic) play fine on their systems. And when I borrow their copies of the same title, they play fine on mine. Having talked to quite a few Panasonic owners, all point to either old firmware or buggy optical pickup units, not specific title incompatabilities. I tend to blame Panasonic since there are an excessive number of problems reported with those two models. I've already decided to buy a more reliable DVD player...just a matter of picking one out. It'll probably be a 2000 Pioneer model. Saki ------------------ [url=455144]My Adult DVD List</A (Updated 2/2/00) | [url=455145]My Adult DVD Reviews</A [Link] |
