OKm thanks for the help. I was only thinking in terms of the actual recording drives. I totally forgot about the standaloe playback units. WIn

Ah, thanks..so the major diff is that this now includes the ability to read/write DVD-RAM as well? Win

what exactly is DVD-Multi ??

I dont know that is ever gonna happen, to be honest. You have DVD-R/RW , which is supported by the DVD folks, and you have +R/RW, which is supported by some. I honestly think that SONY, HP, Phillips started the PLUS format, so they could reap the profits from the licensing fees. Spoke...

Well, While VCDhelp is a great resource, you have to take that compatibilty listing with a huge grain of salt. ;-) I think you havre to tae into account that folks can be making bad discs, and assuming they dont work in their players, hence you get a lot of conflicting data in almost every...

Well, everything i have 'read', and seen on tv suggests that the -r/rw is the most compatible. Check the latest issue of DV magazine for an extensive test they did. Out of the 5 dvd recordable formats, the +rw came in dead last in ALL the tests. The formats being... 3.95 dvd-r for...

Well, after more testing...still no luck. I have the Malata 520 connected to an outboard D/A via coax and fiber optic digital cable. For some reason it WONT convert the signal from my DVD-R/RW titles to analog format. All i get is the horrible digital stream. I've tried a few regular DVD...

Just arrived today, but i cant get any 'analog' audio. Dolby Digital works fine. It plays the following formats: cd, cdr, dvd, dvd-r, dvd-rw, mp3. Audio plays fine on all of these, with the exception of the dvd-r/rw discs. But i cant get any audio from my home made dvd-r or dvd-rw titles...

Well, if anyone wants a Toshiba SD-5700, i'm going to sell mine. I've got too many players now, so the Toshiba is being replaced by the Malata 520 WInston

I've made quite a few DVD's with MyDVD, DVDit PE2.5, Ulead DVD Factory, and Ulead DVD Workshop. However, when playing these DVD-R's on my Toshiba 5700, i cant get from MENU1, to MENU2, etc, etc. I can play any chapters on the first menu, but to get to the later chapters on MENU2...

Has anyone gotten SVCD to work on the SD-5700? WInston

Having no subs on either version makes me wonder if that was done on purpose, since they knew the film was such a huge film in europe, and they wanted to prevent a huge number from being sold via import to the US, like Crouching Tiger. WInston

Well, there is a 2 disc edition, AND a 3 disc special edition that looks like a book. Win

Guys, who is selling this on DVD online? I've tried a few stores, and nobody has it listed. Win

Well. i got the answer in the AVS Forum...i just needed to set the Priority on this player to DVD VIDEO. Win

Hi, just picked up this player, as i really needed a unit that would do DVD-R and DVD-RW, as recorded by my Pioneer A03 recorder. Although the manual doesn't say so, it plays the DVD-RW media just fine. (have yet to try DVD+RW) My question is this...picked up 2 DVD AUDIO titles from Warner...

Ok, i've done the cleaning recommended in an earlier thread, but it doesnt seem like that is the problem with my LD player. The instructions were to clean the braking mechanism. After opening the unit, i noticed that the reading mechanism doesnt raise up high enuff, so it stops and...

So, you think the fact that it wont LOAD a disc is a laser alignment issue? I assumed it was a mechanical problem, but hell, i'm not sure. Winston

I'm having problems getting my Pioneer CLD-704 LD player. It wont play a laser disc...in fact, it keeps ejecting the discs I insert. I havent used it in some time, but normally use it to play cdr's. It will load and play cd's, but the unit repeatedly ejects any LD i insert. I want to xfer...

Okay, ROn you got me hooked, so I purchased the pronto today. Heading on vacation tonite, so no time to play, but wait till i get back. :-)
