If it works and has a remote and you don’t have to ship it...it’s not my favorite player but I don’t know how you’ll do any better without some luck. Honestly finding something like that is at least partially lucky.

Well crap! My vp30 seems to have died. It shut itself off yesterday and will not turn back on. So now I need to come up with another converter and upscaler as my projector only has HDMI and component inputs.

Don't toss it, check to make sure the power supply is still working, I believe it has a wallwart right??
I also remember reading that someone had some unit that wasn't working until they got the correct power supply.

You can also plug the yellow "Video" into I believe its the "Green" of the component, it works with all my gear but I just picked up a TV for free
and it won't work on that one.

But it works on my projector and newer TV.

I ordered another power supply because I checked the power out of it and it only showed 2v coming through the power supply. The vp30 needs 6v. I just hope the low voltage didn't screw up anything inside the vp30.. but hey this is what happens when you buy things 2nd hand for a bargain. I got 2 years of use out of it. So even if it is junk I at least got my moneys worth out of it

How can anything get damaged with lower not higher voltage???
It would be messed up with higher voltage or wrong polarity.

Im worried that it might have got an amp spike when the power supply died. When voltage drops amps go up

I'm sure it's fine.. I'm just a little worried because it was pretty dramatic when it happened. The screen flashed a bunch of different colors and there was a sharp high pitched squeal though my receiver speakers. Then the unit just shut off.

Sounds like when R2 got shot up riding Luke's X-wing..

My VP50 died after about a year (not dramatically), I got an official power supply and it came back to life : ) Then I watched ESB Jp Difinitive in proper aspect ratio with English subs positioned off-screen.

Kind of like when R2 was repaired in time for ESB.. : )

Let's face it, our relatively cheap, rough and ready used DVDO units are our droids..they couple with our "X-wings", our LD players, they're not fancy but they have personality, work and we love em

ooh, ooh and ebay is a Jawa Sandcrawler... okay now maybe I'm getting carried away.. :silent:

Yeah it's very likely the power supply. The original ones are crap. Consider a heavy duty one. Might run you more than the DVDO itself though.

I thought eBay was the dark side of the force :)

Speaking of ebay, star wars, and laserdiscs I just won an auction for the definitive collection.

I'll have to keep an eye out for one... for now I just ordered the cheapest one I could find. It should be here monday

Just am update on the dvl-90 at the video store. I swung in earlier today and it was gone :(... guess I should have bought it when I had the chance.. oh well.. at least the owner of the store said that he does get LD players in fairly frequently.

There is a dvl-909 on Craigslist that comes with 50 discs (the majority of which i do not own) for $200 that I am thinking about getting. The only real down side is that it is a 2 hour drive from me

Sounds like good deal if you can make a day trip out of it.

Experiment

LD-S1 → PDP-4280HD
It was a very beautiful reproduction.
No graininess due to image quality adjustment
Have good performance

LD-S1 → DVDO VP50
(480p or 1080p output) → PDP-4280HD
The character shakes finely
The background is rough and uneven
Not a good result

Than connect VP50
LD-S1 → PDP-4280HD is more satisfied
I was expecting VP50, but I was disappointed

Why?

1. I feel that it is a difference in the performance of the comb filter
2. Since the system is v.1.00, rewrite to the final firmware of v1.09

Doubt
Will v1.09 improve?

next time
3D comb filter & TBC & frame synchronizer
Connect opportunities with
