Post subject: | Re: Hardware Database |
Hello Julien, Super thanks again for all your work ! I wanted to do update on CLD-D925, when I pushed submit I got a long message (looked like the full dB entry for this player) Array ( [HW_Target] => 540 [HW_DeviceType] => 1 [HW_Brand] => 50 ........ Not sure if submit was correctly posted though. There is a check for : "This PAL Player can only play Analog soundtrack" => I would remove the word "only" as you have "This player can play Digital Audio soundtrack" and in case of CLD-D925 it can play both analog and digital PAL discs, so if you check them both it is ok, in case of CLD-1950, you dont check the first one. With comb filter, could you add 3-line as option ? Kind regards, Edwin |

Ah.... yes you got that right, better then me! Indeed some PAL player couldn't do both Digital and Analog, I'll modify this now! edwin240170 wrote: With comb filter, could you add 3-line as option ? OK I probably need inputs there. What are the possible filter types? A quick googling finds: http://www.cockam.com/vidcomb.htm
Should it be the full set of possible options? I updated the tables as follows:

I was filling out some details on my player and now I'm wondering what kind of a machine uses DB25 for 5.1 audio! |

Pioneer CLD-3070 So this player is: Compatible with CX-encoded analog soundtrack and This player can play Digital Audio soundtrack Will it play DTS or non CX analog audio discs? I know from reading other posts that this type of detail really needs to be spelled out for some of the new LD fans. |

Both yes. Any player with a digital audio capability will output the DTS soundtrack on the digital track as-is, the decoder/receiver will do the decoding. CX can be turned off manually but usually the player will read the TOC and know that the disc is not CX encoded (ex: multi-audio or very old releases). Everything is described in https://www.lddb.com/help/sound/ Julien |

Just need to be clearer on the main page otherwise these new members will be lost in the woods yet again. They barely have a grasp on how to use yellow video cables since there is no HDMI on Laserdisc players. |

Updated the descriptions to: Can expand CX-encoded analog soundtracks This player can play Digital Audio soundtracks (DTS requires a digital output) Julien |

Just as an FYI, I'm pretty sure the CX flag is not related to TOC since many of the discs I own lack the TOC coding but will control when CX is activated or not. |

Then how can the player know if the tracks are CX-encoded without a TOC? The original LD FAQ said CX noise reduction can be turned on and off anytime on a disc by the player (controlled by the disc itself).. TOC will tell you if the disc has chapter, which side you're playing, etc. Even old discs must have some basic TOC contents? Or is it encoded in the video itself (via the VBI)? Julien |

Not sure how it actually works but it appears that Disclord mentioned how it was implemented..... disclord wrote: Tha DA/CX button on the 900's remote will switch the CX on and off if it doesn't have the auto CX coding, and most discs do. The onscreen display will show CX ON/Off. It's the same for your pioneer, the DA button will switch it on and off, again, only if it doesn't have auto switching. If you play an old Non CX disc with CX on, you will get audio level changes constantly as the CX tries to decode audio that wasnt encoded. Once minutes/seconds were added to discs, so was auto CX switching. It can't be over ridden on anything but the early top loading players. The instructions on how to activate CX are in the manuals. This seems to make sense to me since I don't recall a lot of USA pressed discs having TOC when I got into LD back in 1988 and yet CX was always automated (Japanese releases in 1988 seemed to have TOC all the time unless they had no chapters or digital sound). |

To make things a little easier to digest, I added a logo/format summary similar to the ones found in Pioneer User Manuals. Examples: LD only player => Pioneer LD-S9 MUSE => Pioneer HLD-X9 LD / CD => Pioneer CLD-900 LD / CD / CDV => Pioneer CLD-R5 LD / CD / CDV / VCD / DVD => Pioneer DVL-9 Julien |
