Germaine Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 I really suck at all these tv stuff as i don't understand all the terms. I think my latest advance must be plugging an s-video from my dvd player to the tv. :-[ Would appreciate if you could help me out here. (1) Home setup in Singapore I have 2 sony tvs and 1 sharp tv. The 2 sony tvs are connected to a toshiba and pioneer dvd players respectively and to a bosch jewel sound system. All do not have component output as far as i know, kinda old you see. The toshiba sucks though the pioneer plays ALMOST everything. My Sharp TV is however a sad story. For the size 29 inch, we bought it at 600 plus less than a year ago. Watching TV programmes is quite ok. But there's flickering when i watch dvds or play my ps2. The flickering is enough to be annoying especially at the fast action parts. QUESTION is will getting a Shinco DVD player 8700PS gonna stop this flickering? Or is this problem inherent to my sharp tv and less of a compatibility problem between the dvd player and tv? (2) I will be going to aussie land for a period of 3 years and i've got to buy a dvd player so that i can watch my anime collection. I need something that's hardy (reads everything) and is a quality product at the same time. Though i doubt i can get a plasma tv there. Just a normal one i guess. I've seen all tvs at home which say at the back 50-60hz. So i guess progressive is out of the way? Given that i'm going to aussie land, is the shinco 8700ps suitable for me? Do i need such a "high-end" product? Frankly the cost is OK given what i paid for my other 2 dvd players which were easily more than 600 at that time. Thank you very much
