I am sorry I haven't contributed much to the forum, but I hope someone can help me with my current problem and I thought this would be the best place to post a tech question.

Basically I have a Sony DVP-NS708H which is an upscaler I bought on the basis that it was going to improve the picture of standard DVD's and good reviews I had read.

Now the problem is, when I plug it into the HDMI slot, the TV knows something is there but shows a black screen (when HDMI slot empty screen is blue) every 5 secs I hear a nano second of sound from a playing DVD. The TV is a Goodmans GTVL37W9HD.

I have tried several HDMI leads, and tried playing with some of the settings on the DVD player.

I have tested the Goodmans TV with my computer HDMI output and it works fine?

I have also tried the DVD Player on another TV (Panasonic one) and it worked without problem?

So why will the two not work together can anyone help solve this problem I am pulling my hair out! Seems like an incompatibility error?

Many Thanks ]]> DVD Players streetyfatb http://www.avforums.com/forums/dvd-players/1128504-sony-dvd-upscaler-problem-help.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/dvd-players/1128349-philips-dvp5990-disc-burning-problem.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:22:21 GMT Hi
I have tried burning to a DVD disc to see if there is any benefits than using my USB stick, but I'm having a problem. I am using DVD-RW discs, I can view the disc once but if I burn more films to the disc (using DIVX software) they won't play, can anyone please help.

Cheers

Could anyone possibly recommend a DVD player which has Scart and on-board decoders with the 6 channel analogue out, please. to go in a legacy system?

They seem more difficult to find than rocking horse droppings now...

I really don't want to pay more than about £50

Could someone advise me of the best settings to use with my DVD player and plasma?

It's connected by hdmi.

Should i set the DVD player to 1080p or keep it at a lower resolution and let the plasma do the upscaling?

Thanks

The DVD player is paired to a Sony KDL40W2000 LCD TV which functions with SKY HD and PS3 through the HDMI inputs on the TV. However with the Toshiba XDE600 only displays a static scrambled picture.

I have tried every resolution setting on the DVD player by using the SD composite cable to get a functioning pic so I can get into the settings, nothing works on the HDMI output however, with just the static scrambled picture.

Please advise any tips or is this a case of dodgy HDMI handshake / tosh build quality. ]]> DVD Players Ryu http://www.avforums.com/forums/dvd-players/1124680-toshiba-xde600-faulty-hdmi-port.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/dvd-players/1124534-why-wont-some-dvds-play.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:00:16 GMT Hi all,

I have a LG surround sound system with DVD player and a couple of the most recent DVD's I have got don't want to play properly (screen freezing/jumping can't make out picture or sound)

I have cleaned DVD player with a wet/dry cleaner and another dry cleaner. It doesn't happen with all DVD's just some of the more recent ones, and they play fine on my other player.

Anyone got any ideas?:lease: ]]> DVD Players jcheetham123 http://www.avforums.com/forums/dvd-players/1124534-why-wont-some-dvds-play.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/dvd-players/1124305-dvd-regions.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:21:46 GMT There's a DVD I want to buy but I can only find it in Region 1.

My DVD player in has recently given up the ghost and I need to replace it with another that has 5.1 analogue audio outputs (can't use digital unfortunately).

I know this is now old technology but does anyone know of any cheap (but fairly decent, ideally one with a brand name!) models out there?

I dont want to spend too much as I'll probably replace it in 12 months when I plan to upgrade the rest of my AV kit.

Thanks for any help. ]]> DVD Players culpin http://www.avforums.com/forums/dvd-players/1123433-dvd-players-6-channel-analogue-outs.html
