No bites? How about $400?

DV-47Ai in excellent condition, works perfectly. I upgraded to a DV-59AVi, so I don't need it anymore. Asking $500 shipped. Edit: Includes original packaging, manual, and all accessories.

Have you tried starting up in safe mode and running your anti-virus? Reboot your computer, and press f8 at the bios screen, and select safe mode, then run your anti-virus. (I'm assuming you have XP, other versions of windows may be different, I don't remember.)

The only way is to physically destroy the hard drive. Don't buy into the DoD Standard stuff, either. I am in the Navy, working in cyrptology, and I assure you that we destroy every hard drive before disposing of a computer. I's great fun too, sitting around a desk, taking hard drives apart and...

Set the reciever to dvd and hit signal select (it's under the front pannel) until it says multi-channel input.

I would recommend the DVD-A, the SACD is a crest cracker.

I have the Toshiba, PQ is great out of the box, and the service menu is easy to access so you can really tweak it to perfection.

Sony did not invent the 4 pin connector, they just gave it the name iLink, just like Apple decided to name the 6 pin connector Firewire. The two are fully compatible, both are part of the IEEE 1394 standard, and there are plenty of 6 pin to 4 pin cables available. I am not a big fan of Sony...

Why Europe? Is there any place in the US that will do it, or could I just buy a chip and do it myself? I'm very competent with a soldering iron.

Does anyone know how I can region mod this player? I can't find any help on the web, and I really don't want to buy a cheap, crappy player for non-US discs. Thanks

Look around at a video game shop like EB or Babbage's, they usually carry LCD screens for PS2/Xbox. Most of them are around 5" and $100.

I have an August '02 47Ai hooked up with analog cables. The main five channels play perfectly, but the .1 is very weak, I can turn off the sub and not notice a difference. My other DVD-A discs (Disturbed, Eagles, Linkin Park) play normally, and SACD sounds great as well.

I just checked the disc on my 47Ai, it says 3/2.1, but the lfe is very weak, not much sub output at all. Maybe the disc is authored without much in the lfe, or maybe pioneer players just don't like it.

The 5.1 outputs carry a very low powered electromagnetic wave which is then amplified and sent out to the speakers, causing them to move in time with the wave, which moves air to create an audible sound wave. The DV-45A, like any other DVD-A player, is compatible with 192KHz audio, but only in...

I'm a cryptologic technician in the navy, my job requires a good amount of knowledge about electronics and such. I have also sold my soul to Pioneer, I have plans for a 49TXi to join my DV-47Ai in the near future.
