Anthonyw Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 It does, even +r DL Thanks Tulkam, must be the way i burned the disc - I think i read somewhere nero can cause problems with +DL discs. The copyright bit plays then the screen just goes blank. Back to the drawing board!

I use Sony DVD architect to author my discs, I have yet to find a player that does not play any disc it makes on any format.
Keith_W Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I've got a HD Panasonic Viera plasma. Would the upscale capability on the DVD player really make much difference on this display? i.e. would a casual observer see the difference? Bumping this question. Anyone?
ozboyz Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 JB HiFi Bondi Junction sold me the S97 for $269 today.
RodN Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Bumping this question. Anyone? Upscaling should see a reducting in artefacts - you have to know what you are looking for though before noticing their reduction.
Anthonyw Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I use Sony DVD architect to author my discs, I have yet to find a player that does not play any disc it makes on any format. Updated Nero to Version 7 and reburnt the Dual layer disc and works no probs.
mrplou Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 JB in the city (Melb) had a stack of s97s at lunchtime today for $299. Maybe 10-12 at least.
Crazy Mike Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 JB HiFi Bondi Junction sold me the S97 for $269 today. How many S97s did they have left at bondi?
ozboyz Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 How many S97s did they have left at bondi? the guy there said he had about 12 or so left. Alan
Crazy Mike Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 the guy there said he had about 12 or so left.Alan Thanks Al for your tip. Went out to Bondi last Friday night after work and picked one up, only to get home and find it was a faulty unit with HDMI connection not working on any display . Went on Sunday and swapped it over, no probs now . Only about 4 or 5 left now if anyone is looking for a decent player , but a bargain price no doubt ! Probably just as good value as the RP-82 I picked up for under $200 a few years ago. V4.
Perthgator Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Have been looking in Perth for the new Panasonic S52 player for the past 2 weeks - according to website in stores from June - but retailers I have visited don't even have it listed in their systems. They claim that it has been typical of Panasonic Australia to be late on delivery in recent months. Have also been unable to locate an S97 at any price! Any news appreciated.
cools Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 has anyone seen the S-97 in Melb -> just further South. I went to JB at Brighton and they had zero! Anyone know if there are any at Southland or anywhere South for that matter.
zorg1503559539 Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 ring around - try camberwell or southland...
stano1503560647 Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Not South But I know that JB hifi opposite highpoint have 10. Better hurry. I got no. 11
Anmac Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I got one from JB Newcastle for $266.oo. I was worried as it didn't list any where if it played DL of any kind. After getting it in writing that I could return the player if it didn't play DL disks I took it home and tested it. The S97 plays them all +DL and -DL. I can even drop DVD RAM disks from my DVD camera straight into it. So far... I'm VERY happy with it.
RXV3000 Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Hey all, Finally took the plunge today and got my S97, $265 from JB in Preston, got home hooked it up to the 42" Hitachi 8800 and WOW, this thing is impressive. Will certainly tie me over until HD-DVD gets into its second and third generation and prices drop. Jas

Spearmint Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 which JB Spearmint - spill the beans hehehe Fountain Gate, went down to check out the donuts and couldn’t get near the place so went to JB instead. They had about 20 or so S97 DVD players in stock.
zorg1503559539 Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 hmmm I'm tempted heard there were traffic jams everyhwere around there... only 35 mins up the freeway or so from my place
Spearmint Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 It’s not that bad since JB are located away from the main shopping centre.
