Page 1 of ST:Nemesis & The Cyberhome ADL528

Hi everybody

Over the weekend upgraded or at least tried to upgrade my Cyberhome ADL528 - which didnt take, caused a few probs that resembled the documented bugs, without upgrading the software or the splash screen, this was rectified by d/grading.

OK the nub of the matter - Anyone else had probs with Star Trek Nemesis?

After the above operation on Sat - I played the film & found a horizontal distortion bar across the middle of the picture (during the film not in the start up menus/copyright notices), this was present in both Scart & phono connections with various degrees of severity after power cycling cleaning disc etc etc.

I swapped the DVD over to the Cyberhome 400 from the bedroom & again same distortion bar when played via the SCART but not via the phono connection this time (fortunately).

The kids films played normally before & after when the 528 was reconnected.

Dodgy copy (Choices Video Store)? Anybody else had this problem with Nemesis?

Plays fine on my Sony, if that helps.

Hi,
what color was the distortion bar, i have a yelo 800 that could have the same problem. With some buena vista discs, a single color bar appears on the screen. I think that the cyberhome and the yelo share the same components. where did you get the firmware upgrade from?

:)

The horizontal distortion bar (like watching through a jet engines exhaust) was exactly that with no colour tint & only affected the middle third of the picture.

The firmware upgrade I got from the cyberhome help forum & the downgrade back to its original software from www.adl528.com, this website covers the known varients that use the same chassis/hardware but badged differently (Atrend, Tiny & Accessories???) I havent personally heard of the Yello.

At least I was able to watch the film in the end on my CH 400. ;)

From the lack of any other feedback regarding this film maybe I was unlucky with my copy. :/
