This unit only passes the DTS signal, not decode it. Even most inexpensive receivers these days have DTS decoders though. I'd still be interested in others' experience with the component video output with their units. Mine is really poor. S-Video is good though.

In case your local Rat Shack has been depleted of the units.

I was using cheap component cables that came with another device. You're right that the Cyberhome doesn't come with component cables. Anyway, if anyone's still hunting for this unit, it's available without rebate for $59 here.

Which cables did you use? I've found the cheap component cables included with the unit to be really awful and give washed out to colorless playback. However, even with primo cables, although I did get color it was much worse than the S-Video output. I kinda suspect this is a design flaw with...

There's a very comprehensive, but somewhat dated, list of other region DVDs and vendors that sell them over at DVDtalk.com.

Hi Bob, Adjusting the contrast, brightness and saturation definitely helped, but did not remedy the situation. I tried some pretty good IXOS component cables but that didn't do the trick. I'm kind of waffling at the moment about getting a replacement due to inertia and I had already cut out the...

Has anyone else tried the progressive output with this player? With a variety of cables the progressive video output is oversaturated and has a very yellow overall tinge. The S-video is much better as far as color. Any similar experience?

Hi Greg, I'll let you know if the shimmering goes away after I've played with it for a while. For now, it seems to be disc specific. Compared to my Panny RP-91 the player seems to put out less saturated color, although it could be the cables. I've ordered some new ones to go with the DVD...

Hi Tony, I had the shimmering on the bottom with Sting's "All this time" and the dts/video choppiness problem with Peter Gabriel's "Secret World". Haven't had time to do extensive testing and right now don't have any non-region 1 discs. So far all the movies I've tried play back fine, including...

Hi Tony, Thanks! I didn't realize I had to push enter first to enable changing the region code. Now just have to get my hands on some nether-region DVDs. By the way, for previous posters, I did get a warranty sheet that says there's a 3 month warranty for labor, and 1 year for parts. Receipt...

Hi, Just picked up one of these from my local RS. I tried the region code setup and can''t change it from the default region 1 :angry:. The system software date is 20030320 if that makes any difference. While it plays DD 5.1 OK, my unit skipped incessantly when I played the Peter Gabriel...
