heady 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2006 If you want a hardward solution, there are boxes available which can convert the video output from DVD player to VGA for the LCD monitor. I think the cost is S$100-200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mackie 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) I believe there are adapters for this purpose. Some forumers at xtremeplace use DVI-VGA adapters for connection to their projectors. Sim Lim is the place to shop. It really depends on the output (dvd) and input (pc/tv) connectors. It could be as simple as an adapter or a more costly converter. Google search for the various solutions. Example http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/DVI_monitor_cables.html Edited July 17, 2006 by Mackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OT- No prob. Will keep the stuff for you. I was not trying to sell those items anyway, was keeping them for a rainy day. But never mind, if it makes someone happy, also can.

Its a Philips DVD player, it claim to have 24bit DAC/192khz.. don really understand these specs though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) I mean your LD player - Laser Disc player, not DVD player. If you intend to get a DAC or DAC headamp, try using the LD player as transport. It might sound good. Edited July 21, 2006 by Mackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might sound good. All along i have been using the DVD player as the source. Perhaps that will be later or i might as well get a CDP instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
