Sony DVPNS705

Hi
neen looking at the Pioneer DV-565a and Sony DVP-NS930. Fancy the 930
because it has a bigger video DAC plus has some better reviews. I am also
worried about the reported RGB banding on the 565a which keeps popping up on
the forums.

However the Sony is about £230 which is more than i wanna spens and im not
worried about the proggressive outputs but SACD is a must. Ive just come
across the Sony DVP-NS705 which is only about £120 and seems excellent inc
SACD.
Any one got one of these seems its excellent.
CSX

 

Any body got one of these. And wheres the best mod chip place to get it ?

 

Have a look at the Sony 730.
Multiregion for+/- £130

 

Yeah the 930 was built from the 730, only with added SACD playback...

I believe the PQ on the 730 is as good as the 930, which I can vouch for looking outstanding...

 

730 doesnt have SACD.
Any way my Visa was itching so ive ordered it now £129

Does seem an excellent buy.

 

sorry to hijack, but its a sony dvd player i have.

I have the Sony dvp- NS730P, its labled in the sony catalogue as Mulit R and progressive scan, i assume therefore its both PAL and NTSC prog.

just a quick thing picture Q is fantastic, but i tired to play a R1 last night and it wouldnt let me, my other player a tosh 220 is MR and it plays fine.


i have only had this sony a number of weeks and this is the first R1 ive tried. do i need to look in the manual or something. Or am i missing something simple ( like a mod chip )

thanks

 

Sounds like you have bought the standard 730, which is not MR...

 

i didnt buy it as such, it was a gift from sony to keep me quiet about some terrible customer service, so i cant moan.

is there a hack for MR or is it a chip job

 

Chip I'm afraid

 

thanks for the reply. in that case, any good sites to recommend, is it a DIY type thing, baring in mind i have chiped some xbox;s etc

or is it best to send it away to get someone else to void the warrenty
