nice, thanks for the help, everyone :mrgreen: and I think I found a dvd player that I want, it may not me the most glamorous or the most expensive but it is pretty good quality and gets the job done. :mrgreen:

GTR_Ripper · 03-04-2003, 07:47 PM

thats all that matters, it gets the job done, with out the bells and whistles it doenst need

OptimisticOx · 03-04-2003, 07:56 PM

well, I might by some bells and whistles along the way but for now I just need the basics, later I might want to get some sarround sound going in my room, but for now all I need is my anime my tv and a dvd player. :mrgreen:

Well, most DVD players come with an optical out so you can plug it in to your receiver for DTS sound.

OptimisticOx · 03-04-2003, 08:16 PM

yeah, I guess so, i am not exactly what you would call an expert on this sort of stuff. :mrgreen:

OptimisticOx · 03-05-2003, 01:59 PM

Ok, I think that I will get the one on the link above, it may not be the flashiest but it looks pretty nice. :mrgreen:

Be careful with some of the regionless players you get off the net. Most of them are just regular R1 players that have been modified. The seller actually has to open up the machine and replace a chip or two. They'll be fine if the seller knows what they're doing. Apex are really cheap and models like 1500 only require some software flash to be R0...no opening or soddering involved. You should check out www.vcdhelp.com for some of the flashable type players. They're all pretty cheap.

yeah I was e-mailing with him and he said that he had a team doing it, it looks like the site has had quite a bit of success so I will trust them, but I havnt boughten the player yet so I will check out the site you gave me. :mrgreen:

matthewmalay · 03-06-2003, 11:09 PM

That site is the same as the one Schultz posted earlier :wink:

OptimisticOx · 03-07-2003, 06:00 AM
