I am still waiting to purchase a set-top dvd recorder however I own several pc dvd burners and I have always had great success with Ritek dvd-r/rw. There is a very reliable site called Rima that sells these disks for a very good price. Most of the people over at Doom9, which is a good site for...

I believe the only real reason that 5.1 encoded sound can not be transferred to the recorder is to discourage any piracy of commercial content like movie and concert dvds. However I agree with some of the other posts that this is a severe limitation for such an expensive device and IMHO unfairly...

I've read at a couple of HT forums that the new Denon 5900 (I think thats the model number) is the holy grail of dvi connected dvd players. The only drawback is it goes for $2000.

I tried resetting the unit several times to no avail. I am in the process of disconnecting it from my entertainment center so I can have GG fix it.

This sounds just like the problem I'm having which I posted here

Since playing with the unit to find out whats wrong I discovered that the dvd player isn't the only device its not processing. My Tivo and vcr (which are hooked up through analog connections) cut in and out as well when trying to play back in DPLII. I'm really surprised that 1 of Denon's...

I was playing a dvd when all of the sudden the sound cut out for a second and then resumed. I rev the dvd to see if it was the dvd and the sound was present at the same spot it cut out on. I ignored it as a fluke but it happened several more times with more than 1 dvd. I checked all the...

I can't attest to the quality or the ease of use of these players (I've never used them), but just doing a quick google search turned up xine and maximus.

I've always had good luck with Rima. They are a very reliable site and they have a good selection of blank media even the famed Ritek GO3s.

Why not just add an amp to your 4802 set-up. I have the same receiver and I found a Parasound 2205at open box sale and it gave the 4802 all the power it needed to bring my system alive.

Rob....Where have you found 4x media for .79 a piece? Do you think these are better than the Ritek Go3s?

Thanks for the response Rob....I probably didn't explain myself well. This analog connection is for the purpose of monitoring the digital connection. I had already configured the sound card to send and receive digital signals and I tested it by sending signals to my receiver and then back into...

Rob... There is a analog connection that I use to monitor the sound going in to the card and it sounds okay when I send a digital signal through it. However when I play back the same signal after recording it, the sound is equivalent to an mp3 at the lowest bitrate. I'm now in the process of...
