Matsui DVD110 Sound Problems !

Fucho Mcbain (Harmless) posted this on Sunday, 6th May 2001, 19:31

Hello All,

I have the pre mentioned dvd player and it plays great apart from when it`s played in Dolby Digital.

I get break ups in sound through my Sherwood 6106, I have taken the region crack off and it still happens.

Has anyone experienced this or know some-one who has and what they did to fix the problem?

Any feedback would be good as I have just lashed out wads `o cash on home cinema kit.

Cheers.

Hi,

The 110 I previously had played fine, never saw any issues like this, played eveything I threw at it in DD 5.1 and DTS with no dropouts at all, the amp I had it hooked up to was the Kenwood KRFV7030D.

Is it just on R1`s or are you seeing it on all regions ??

Is it occuring with any type of pattern, ie only during very loud fast action scenes, or quiet scenes or is it intermittent at any part of a disc ?

Sorry I can`t be of more help.

Cheers

Chris

Can`t help other than confirm that my Matsui 110 does exactly the same.

It did it from new (long before I applied any region changes and VCD enable) and its only really noticable when I use the digital audio output rather than pro-logic.

I don`t have a seperate digital decoder - my Toshiba widescreen has the digital decoder in it - you tell the TV its either dolby digital in (and use an additional cable to hook it up as there`s no fibre optic socket on the DVD) or just set the TV to plain pro-logic.

I assumed the problem was with the TV as the actual technical spec sheet for it implies it`s decoder won`t accept the maximum potential bit rate of 5:1 digital. Also, because I have the DVD VCD enabled, I now usually leave the TV set for pro-logic anyway.

Noting the comments in the follow up reply - it only happens in fast action or fast sound burst scenes (in films such as Matrix).

I did promise myself that one day I`d try a different TV or DVD (or a seperate decoder) to determine which it was but never got round to it - hope someone has the answer as it might help me too!
