Good luck! If you accomplish this I'm going to send some PAL LDs your way to capture.

Hello Substance, this project sounds very interesting. Hope you get it to work as planed. This could be the best PAL-player ever, through the better power section and better parts from the Theta. The reason for the difference of the two boards could be (other than SCART vs Component-Out)... ... that the european DVL-919E is only a DVL-909 with upgraded DACS, 96khz/24bit instead of 96khz/20bit, added DTS support and the new pioneer logo, but the US DVL-919 seems like another design, more like a shrinked and redesigned DVL-H9. Maybe the inside was mostly changed, too. The DVL-919 should have another turn-mechanism ... According to Wikipedia -> The face plate of DVL-919E is made of aluminum (same as DVL-909) while DVL-919's face plate is made of plastic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_DVLYou have both players, you can see / tell the differences.

You can also tell from the positions of the buttons on the front. Mechanical parts seem identical. there are 3 boards, two are different. I suspect its going to be the best PAL machine as well.

However the comb filter board is part of the DVL-909 SM, which includes both NTSC and NTSC/PAL versions. Elektrotanya has a lower quality version of the schematics only but I can't find a good free copy of RRV1888 as a whole. Some of the tap points I already figured out without schematics. The others I will sit down this week and work on. Hopefully in 3 weeks, I will pull out the soldering iron. If I can mod one and document it, subsequent units will be a days worth of work. Its a matter of sourcing other theta units. Luckly I have two of these but I don't know if I would sell the second one. I read on other forums that there are successful attempts of modding hld-x9 for Pal playback. It turns into a pal only (no muse) machine. Accouzzo, I have a good idea what discs you want captured;) I might have one of them already? SW French boxset by any chance? Audioboys, this is a project I am doing just because:) i have only a dozen pal discs and none of them that significant other than the french sw boxset. If i can get this machine working, I might buy another dozen or two music titles on pal. Once I am done with this, I will resume with the hi vision ld to bd project i started a while ago. My capture rig wasn't good so I stopped but i plan to build a pc to capture lds/hi vision lds over the summer.
