In Reply to: RP62 a piece of junk... posted by Rich on July 09, 2002 at 09:39:48:
I didn't see any crap with mine, used the same TV (Sony 51HW40) setup as for the RP56, in progressive mode. I forget the TV mode I use, but some other modes cause strange motion artifacts with some DVD's, especially those made of certain TV programs.In case I didn't mention it, side-by-side it was my opinion that the RP56 *looked* better built though, and felt better at the controls.
Follow Ups:
happens with the best, not just crap, even QC can be bad across the price gamut. The one I had worked perfectly, well, such as it is designed to do... What can I say, you may want to try another RP62 or upgrade/calibrate your TV, the problem isn't in the RP62 in general...check around elsewhere.
the RP62 just sucks. My Toshiba 5109 doesn't have those problems and neither do any of my interlaced players through an external Faroudja.
I got a GOOD one to try, and so has everybody else as far as I've heard, I don't believe EVERYBODY else's TV's are bad. So if you had a bad experience, it might be worthwhile to put it in context. OTOH, if you hate Panasonic for whatever reason, maybe you should say that, I have certain brands myself I would never buy for any reason. OK I'll say it, a marginal one, I don't like Sony, but I like their displays, I would never buy any sort of Sony disc player or receiver etc. again (have a stack of them here, I'm a slow learner). But all my displays are Sony. Weird...Where on earth do you get the idea that because your display device doesn't do "anything" to the signal that it is superior? This is not purist audio at all, processing is required. Mine does do "something" to the signal, and it looks great with the 62. Not as good as the projectors we use at work, but nonetheless good.
***I got a GOOD one to try, and so has everybody else as far as I've heard***The player has only been available for a couple of weeks, so you can't have heard much about it from users.
and I guess a little longer to the privileged. It's just that the RP56 was called "discontinued" for so long, the RP62 was highly anticipated, and with the conflicting info about it out there, info got spread around about it pretty quickly once it was available.I don't know if you consider the RP56 "good", but the Denon 1600 and the 62 are just as "good" re video. I have no problem believing you could have got a flakey example, as the RP62's do not look at all well made, no better than the $80 DVDP's, but they have progresssive scan and some other features.
I read my post later, and it seems kind of rude, I didn't mean to be offensive or put-downish of a system you enjoy. That is what counts, and we all have different criteria for different reasons.[My no-delete policy, except to correct errors, but not the post.]
I saw both at Circuit City last month. Though both did seem to have the heft of a baloney sandwich. (eek!) Though it's unfair to single out either of these units. Nearly all DVD units nowadays are fairly light. I have to keep reminding myself that good transports are not necessarily heavy transports.
you can't even turn it on without it sliding acoss the rack.
I'd be afraid the inertia of the DVD in the tray would also cause the unit to fly backwards (!!). Newton's third law et al. :-O
