Hartwig, I think you may have given the clue to the DV45A. Since you indicate that the bass is not redirected into the front left and right speakers, perhaps it simply drops the frequencies below 120Hz when other speakers are set to small rather than redirecting them to the LFE module. If true...

Hmm, I believe this is the second time I have had to reply to my own reply. Usually I edit, but this seems important enough to warrant another reply.

Dan, I checked out that thread and found that AustinKW in post 64 confirms exactly what I was trying to point out. I cannot speak for the DV47Ai, but since the DV45A does not process the time alignment part of bass management for SACD, it may not be doing DSD->PCM->BM(->DSD)->analog conversion...

Are there any who have considered letting their woofer module do the cross-over work for them? That is to say, set the player to 5.0 (no LFE output) and set the fronts to large, then connect front left and right amplified inputs to the bass module which then performs the cross-over for the front...

Sam, I edited my original post to include some other thoughts on the matter. What have you tried?

Give the subway scenes in any or all of "The Jackal," "End of Days," and "The Matrix" and the helicopter explosion scenes in "True Lies" and "The Matrix" some trials.

Curses, foiled again by Panasonic -- is every one of their models that much different from the next that I cannot make a generalization based on a past or current model? That is the second time I posted before I knew from firsthand experience. The first mistake, I caught myself. This one I...

If SACD is what you want most from a player, the DVP-NS999ES may be among the best. It has two menus of full digital bass management -- one for DD/DTS and the other for SACD. Full to me means that it has variable gain, some function for adding time delay (in this case speaker distance to...

I liked the video quality of the 47Ai, which I only tested in the store -- but with my own test material. I did not like the quality of the NS999ES and packed it sending. It should arrive any time now from whence I got it. And now for the bad news. They both have chroma errors. The Sony was...

I have tried the carousel models CP67 and CP72 and have noticed that the CP67 has MPEG decoding issues not present from the CP72, leading me to believe that the CP67 is similar to the RP62 and that the CP72 may be similar to the RP82. Surge suppression notwithstanding, my RP91 got hit by...

There are at least two players that do proper DVD-Audio bass management for the ITU standard. The Denon 3800 and Denon 9000. The Kenwood 5900M may also have proper bass management. The Outlaw Audio ICBM-1 does not do proper bass management, but it is inexpensive considering the alternatives...

Keep the Panny. Sorry to say that both the Sony NS755 and NS999ES had the worst de-interlacing that I have seen from a progressive scan player and I have the first one commercially available in the US (Toshiba SD5109) to compare them by. For an extra $1000, the NS999ES adds bass management for...

Actually, in John's defense, I have to agree with MPEG decoder errors. Reds are almost always jagged in the progressive mode. As an interlaced player, that sort of thing does not appear however. Everyone is certain that they have progressive turned on right? Someone once noted, rather...

I never had that problem with the 3800, but it did display the two worst examples of improper MPEG decoding (sometimes referred to as the chroma bug) that I have ever witnessed during playback of Jackie Brown. The first occurred at the beginning of chapter 6 when Robert Forster comes out of the...
