per laserdiscarchive.co.uk DVL-700 DVD/LD players LD section is based on 700 series. Then it mentions adaptive 3D comb filter. Sound like very inaccurate info but I wanted to check. There is a local DVL-700 for cheap, if its 701 or 702 inti I will buy it. also which is the best combo DVD/LD player? DVL-700, 909 or 919, 90, 91? I am not looking for a player for critical watching. I need something space saving(1 component shelf only), single remote, 1 input on tv. |

If it's cheap, then it's not a bad buy regardless. DVL-700 as LD player is very good though not considered the top player available. The blurb on the UK website is advertising promo talking more about the fact that it has all the options of the 700 series, not necessarily the same level quality. I have 700, 909 and 919, and they are all pretty comparable in picture quality, which is actually very good. The 700 has some nice screen display options lacking on the 909 and 919. The 700 has the best looking front of the three in my opinion. The 700 is not as good as 909 and 919 in DVD playback of burned DVDs and some of the oddball region 0 DVDs. The 919 will playback DVD DTS sound as 700 and 919 won't. If the price is pretty cheap, and you get the remote too, get it. If you don't like it, sell it. But I think you may like it. |

The DVL-700 is definitely better used as an LD player than a DVD player. It is INCREDIBLY SLOW when trying to play a DVD. |

That's odd. I've had 3 of the 700s, and none of them seemed slow to play a DVD. They all were about the same as the 909 and 919. Perhaps they are slower to read then play the region zero DVDs. |

After some more thoughts I figured to be able to play all my media I need more than 1 player anyway. I am going to use my Samsung 5000up BD/HD-DVD player for DVDs,HD-DVDs,BDs,CDs and a laserdisc player for CD Vs,LDs. What is the lowest profile LD player that has somewhat OK picture? |

Does your display use a CRT? EDIT: Wait, what do you mean by profile? |

By lowest profile, I assume you mean thinnest from top to bottom, correct? It would be a single side player that is thinnest. I think Sony and Panasonic dual side players are thinner than Pioneer, but not certain on that. When I get home from my office in a little while, I'll take some measurements. You can actually get some really good single side players with good playback, like a Pioneer S201 or the superb Philips cdv488 that has digital still frame. Also some of the Magnavox players (philips made) of the same period are very good. |

Yes. the thinnest and/or smallest volume. I actually know a person who is selling his Philips 488 but the tray needs servicing. this tv is a 32" LCD. but again this setup is not for critical watching. Its my office/media room. My collection grey quite large with all different formats. Sometimes I spend minutes thinking what to watch. I want to have a small setup with fast loading player to spot watch or watch trailers of the movies to help me figure what I really feel like watching. Some movies I know by heart but some seeing a few seconds help. |

All of the players were around 17" wide and 16 to 17" deep, except the DVL players which were 18" deep with the bump counted Here's what I measured the players at in height, counting the feet: The DVL series are 5.75" tall Most any brand single side players are 4" to 4.25" in height Phillips 488 is actually taller at around 4.5" The modern design dual side Pioneer players, eg 400s, 500s, 600s, 700s, are 5" tall, as are all the Panasonic dual side players. The Sony dual side players are 4.5" tall The older design Pioneer dual side players, 2070-3070-2080-3080 etc, are 4.5" tall Karaoke players are all at least 1/2 taller than their non-K counterparts. But here is one surprise! The Pioneer CLD-3030 dual side player I have is ONLY 4.25" tall! I knew it was thin but did not realize it was as thin as many single side players. Plus it had digital still frame and step frame for all format discs, and that nice looking drawer face with display that tilts out to let the tray open. Check out the specs: http://www.laserdiscarchive.co.uk/laser ... d-3030.htm It looks like it has a drop-down bottom in order to give it a low profile. |

Can I make a correction. The Pioneer CLD 3030 I have is a single sided player. (unless they made both single and dual) But flipping the disc over is not a problem (for me anyways) and the digital field memory is nice. My Pioneer CLD 1030 also measures 4.25 inches high, and also a single side player. The display pannel does drop down, and the tray slides out. No digital field memory on the 1030 model though. |

You're right. I was mixing it up with the 3070 and 3080. That's the problem with looking over a lot of 40 players too quickly! It is a single side player, my goof up. Should have been obvious to me from the photos with the cover off. Too many late nights the past few weeks! Well, it's still a pretty good player anyway. So the thinnest dual side players are the Sony models, the ones nobody seems to want, and the older model Pioneers. |

Same year as DVL-919, so maybe it will play DTS DVDs. Looks like a 919 with added karaoke buttons, but 909 also looks like that. The manual is available here: http://www.lddb.com/_misc/manuals/LD_Pl ... /DVL-V888/ Says nothing about DTS DVDs. I heard that it will play both PAL and NTSC format DVDs, not sure if that's true for the US model, but you'd need a PAL tv or something like a DVDO HD that can convert the PAL signal to HD. It will accept any 909 or 919 remote, or standard Pioneer DVD remote for most all functions except no LD A to B side-turn. I have a bunch of those if you buy it. Looks like it's taller than 909 or 919 by a little. I have no good idea on the value but maybe you can get it cheap since there's no remote. |
