About this user: Just bought a pioneer dv535. Picture is superb but not impressed with sound out of phonos or scart.No depth or bass even when connected to yam amp and tdl rtl3 bass heavy speakers. plenty of detail but no umph. anyone know if the sound will improve via digital connection ie using external dac or am i likely to get similar charachteristics. Thanks

RE: PIONEER DV-535 Anologue sound quality

Thanks for the comments Dan. I have tried various interconnects but the analogue sound on movies is still dissapointing. However as you say it sounds fine when playing cd`s.Perhaps I`m too picky.Anyway took it back to Sound and Vision who demonstrated it via its digital ouput and was very impressed so no complaints really as i will be using this connection.
Thanks again

Andy

P.S Can you recommend a Coaxial interconnect for upto £25 which offers a worthwhile improvement or do i need to spend more.

RE: Help Appreciated PIONEER DV535 and CREATIVE DTT2500

Thanks Lees. I have bought a set from pc world for £149.Absolute bargain.Took a while to get the sub level right as it does produce a lot of bass.Very dramatic and entertaining sound with great effect steering.Six sats,decoder amp and sub plus stands and all interconnects for £149 - amazing.Being very picky it could do with a little more power as the midrange goes a little hard when pushed and a touch more clarity but for the price absolutely no complaints.Oh and it looks good and is very discrete.

Help Appreciated PIONEER DV535 and CREATIVE DTT2500

Anyone got opinions on the analogue phono sound quality of the 535.I think its poor.Have i got a bad one.Picture is superb.Is the digital output much better apart from the obvious improvement of 5.1. Help as Im thinking of taking it back.

Anyone got opinions on Creatives DTT2500 speaker pack and decoder.

RE: Pioneer 535 advice required

I have just bought a 535 myself. The pause is normal i think and happens when the laser retracks when changing layers on dual layer disks.According to published reviews this is normal.

What do you think of the sound quality out of the analogue phono connections.I think its a bit poor ie thin treble,not very transparent with an upper mid colouration and soft bass lacking dynamics and distortion on voices.I havent tried the digital output yet.Have you ?.Is it a lot better.

Any comments appreciated

Andy

PIONEER DV-535 Anologue sound quality

Just bought this multiregion player and the picture is fantastic.

However the sound when hooked up via the stereo phono outs to my yam amp and TDL RTL3 bass heavy speakers is very poor.Plenty of detail but no bass weight and very two dimensional with a lack of dynamic headroom.All connections and output selections seem ok.

Anyone else think this and is it a coomon trait for the analogue outputs to be poor.Should mention that cd`s sound much more open and have plenty of bass weight. Could it be to do with the 5.1 soundtrack fed out in only stereo.

Finally apart from the obvious sound improvement from 5.1 when using the digital out can I expect better sound reproduction i.e. more dynamic,transparent sound and some bass or are the same characteristics of the player likely to come thoughor do the external amp dacs dictate the sound quality.

Any comments appreciated as im thinking of taking it back as my panasonic vhs sounds much better via the stereo phonos.
