In Reply to: DVD-V/A player shootout posted by Nightfly! on January 29, 2002 at 11:21:52:
I bought the Toshiba SD9200 mainly for ease of use and price. I have had no problems with the chroma bug so far, yet I've only had the player since Christmas.
Follow Ups:
Floyd,Ease of use? I'd agree with you only if you use it strictly as an analog output audio playback device. Otherwise, it's an ergonomic disaster, frankly.
Want to listen to a DVD-A disc? Make sure you're set to Analog 6-channel output. Want to pop in a movie and use your preamp/processor? Now you have to switch back to digital output.
Toshiba botched this aspect of implementation and perpetuates this error with their current generation of gear.
Sonically, it's a good piece though... But it is lacking in ease of use from my experiences.
Regards,
Having to go on-screen to switch between 2 and 6-ch is a pain. Plus, I found out (the hard way) that you can't hook up 2-ch analog ICs (for redbook CD), 6-ch analog (for DVD-A) AND a digital cable (for DVD-V) without setting off a feedback squeal. This is how my last deck, a Panasonic DVD A7, was configured with no problems. Plus, you could go from 2-ch, to digital output, to multichannel on the fly from the faceplate.I've not experienced any visual bugs. And the benefits of the 9200 are audible, ie: even with the horrid ergonomics, I wouldn't go back. One other gripe on the Tosh: transport noise during HDCD playback, usually (and rather oddly) only through the first two or three cuts of the disc. ???
