RE: MiCO DVD-A980 - The Only Viable Solution!!!

Go for the Encore DV450. This was gonna be my original choice, till someone showed me the way to Comet. Then I bought an AIWA 370.

Special Reserve - http://ukdvd.com offer it for £189.99. Costs you to become a member but it`s well worth it for all the bits.

Besta luck.

RE: Dolby Surround through a SCART cable?

Thanks Karl. You say that you can carry S-Video through a SCART cable though, how is this possible?

Am I right in understanding you when you say "RGB Video would be best", that this is how I have got it set up already. If not, please tell, I`m a thicko when it comes to stuff like this ; )

Dolby Surround through a SCART cable?

Does Dolby Surround sound work correctly (and is it advisable) through a SCART cable. I have my AIWA 370 connected to the RGB Scart socket on my Philips TV, this has Dolby Pro Logic on board. Everything is set up as per the book says but

to be honest, it sounds just better than pants!

Would I be better connecting the S-Video connector up along with the audio cables (analogue) to my TV? (The only problem I have here is those connections are round the front righthand side of the TV).

What settings do I then need to set my DVD player and movie sound settings?

It would be nice to buy a seperate amp to connect the Digital out to but Santa Claus ripped me off this year so I`ll have to wait.

Is the AIWA XD-DV370KN supposed to have Component Video Out?

I did a lot of searching on the net to find what would be my best buy. I was split between the Encore DV450 and the one I ended up buying from Comet, the AIWA. However, all, including this site mentioned that the AIWA had Component Video out. This was one of the main reasons for buying, because I believe that, (I may be wrong and would appreciate guidance), all future TV`s will have this connection for better picture quality and I will probably end up buying one.
I made the mistake of going into Comet and just saying, "I`ll have that one, please", instead of pulling it off the shelf first and checking.
Anyways, you learn by your mistakes. I am very happy with it though in all other respects. Superb bit of kit for the money.

I`ve got a load more questions about setting up Dolby Surround but I`ll wait to see if I get a reply from this one first. Cheers, GazF.
