Panasonic DVD-S97S FAQ / Brain dump - Page 13

paul do you see y/c delay? and what was the macro blocking from?

ok thanks sorry i missed it

i have the 3910 and wanted to see if i could see it. they both use the same chip and was wondering how denon may have got rid of it.

ok i can see it on ben hur but have to really turn up brightness but at reg viewing levels it is not there.

When I checked for pixel cropping on my HT1000 projector (I get 0 all the way for the D1 and my HTPC), I get 0 pixels cut off on the top and bottom, but 3 pixels on the left and 3 on the right.

The one pattern that this player does poorly on is Avia's moving Zone plates. In my setup, many of the lines in the boxes below the circle get a lot of noise.

My S97 setup (for 720p): Contrast 0, Brightness +1, Gamma +5 (to taste), Saturation/Color -1, Sharpness +2. I do not see a difference with the different noise reduction settings so I left them at 0. I get 0% red push and green and blue are at 0%. Tint is right on. When I check the color space, I only see RGB for 720p - no other option is shown.

I do not use 1080i because my NEC HT1000 projector forces a 5% overscan on 1080i DVI inputs, but accepts 720p at 0% overscan. Go figure!

Bytehoven - I will PM you with my HT1000 settings later tonight. I have not fired it up yet Waiting for darkness...

yes i can but brightness needs to be almost all the way up.i also did the firmware update to correct gamma and pic crop.

Paul,

In my setup, the Avia Special tests menu was fine - I checked it many times last night at 720p. Just for kicks, I'll check it at 1080i to see if the same thing happens.

Thanks Paul for the pictures of spam!! (lol j/k!)

Just curious, with the AVIA Y/C delay pic there. How can you tell about the delay because when I look at it, I cannot pin point it out.

It's my first time seeing that screen too so a bit of legend can be helpful!

So does this unit suprass the previous Panny Faroudja's?

Sango look at the number zero the red is flush at zero the others are not.
