betty boop Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 I know, hence the dig. I think I caught same virus from you too... Now those new sub drivers..... It'd go nice with that nice panasonic projector you have spearmint... hehe I think it must be going around, think caught a related 'sub' strain of it myself hehehe. And have noticed I've had a bit of an unhealthy obsession with disc players of late as well hehehe yes sounds liek a bit of a pana system being built up there ! :ph34r:
Spearmint Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 It'd go nice with that nice panasonic projector you have spearmint... Hehe, I forgot about that, must plug it in one day to see if it works...
Spearmint Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Whats the layer change like on these s97 players? Sorry can't help at this stage as I haven't unpacked it yet. BTW here is a copy of the invoice if anyone is interested.
Spearmint Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Whats the layer change like on these s97 players? Do you know of a DVD title that has a problematic layer change? Also could you let me know what chapter the change is? I'll hook the new toy up either later tonight or tomorrow, and if I have the title I'll check it out for you.
Guest knet1k Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Just called into JB HiFi for their car park sale. Panasonic S-97 selling at $157.00 so I bought one. Thats a bloody bargain considering that these come with a hdmi cable included
Anmac Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 And retailed for $499. You'd get one for the bragging rights alone. *looks at spearmint*

zorg1503559539 Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 wonder if other JB's will price match, might ring around and see...... enjoy spearmint.
Spearmint Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 And retailed for $499.You'd get one for the bragging rights alone. *looks at spearmint* Hehehe yep caught!!! Although the player actually performs very well, so if anybody is looking for a second or tenth DVD player even as a present for the price it is a great unit. wonder if other JB's will price match, might ring around and see...... enjoy spearmint. I'm sure they will that’s why I posted a copy of the Invoice to help with bargaining if other shops didn't have the same special.

BTW did you get some donuts while out there? (j/k)
zorg1503559539 Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 thanks spearmint yes should tide us over until hd-dvd comes down a bit. no I didn't too many peope and I hate crowds plus have had some before in Sydney. I think they are over rated... It's all the hype... Nothing much else worth considering did have some cheap Yamaha RX357? amps for $197..

I think they are over rated... It's all the hype... Nothing much else worth considering did have some cheap Yamaha RX357? amps for $197.. I also think the Yamaha 757? amp was around $439 I agree I've had some of the donuts from the Sydney shop and also think they are overrated. Obviously others don't.
Struggo Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 No the S97 doesn't but the new replacement model S52 does.Philip http://www.panasonic.com.au/products/detai...m?objectID=2006
dan76n Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Ive had a look around in south east QLD and JB can get me one for $240 from another JB store. I really dont need it until sept/oct so should I hold off for somthing new or will the S97 still hold its worth for that price.
zorg1503559539 Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I'd hold off until Sept / Oct if you can, or otherwise tell them they are selling for $157 in Melbourne.
bkw Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I'd hold off until Sept / Oct if you can, or otherwise tell them they are selling for $157 in Melbourne. Unfortuantely, that was just a sale at one store and the others wont match that price. About $240 is the best you can do.
zorg1503559539 Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 yes true I tried but none of the other JB's close by would match as they said it was a once off car park sale. Was worth the 35 min drive each way..
Guest gtrr34 Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I went to the preston store and was basically told to piss off and that $157 was crap and when I showed them the reciept I was advised that it was fake and I advised him to call and he wouldnt.
Guest wynode Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 S97 upscales only over HDMI but I have read there is a firmware hack around which can also put it over component.Philip ANy more info on this Philip? Ta
pjc Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 ANy more info on this Philip?Ta I thought I read this alluring fact whilst reviewing the player on the US AV Forum site (which is huge). I too want to upscale over component but I haven’t found any further info. I am sorry if I have given misrepresentation. Philip
Spearmint Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I went to the preston store and was basically told to piss off and that $157 was crap and when I showed them the reciept I was advised that it was fake and I advised him to call and he wouldnt. If you still want one might pay to give the Narre Warren store a call to see if they still have stock at that price, probably worth doing a run over there after work or on the weekend. I have found some of these JB HiFi sales people to be quite rude at times when you want to negotiate prices. Out in the south east there are several stores within 1/2hour from each other so if one store/sales droid gives you the sh!ts you can always go to another.
zorg1503559539 Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 spearmint is right, they still had five or so left on Sunday afternoon, so odds are they didn't sell them all.. Give the store a call, nothing to lose.
