View Full Version : DVD Player - Volume control on remote - for high end application

Hello - i have a query regarding what brand of DVD player i should
purchase, with a particular requirement.

I recently purchased a pair of hi end floorstanding stereo speakers,
i
got myself a 90 watt technics amplifier as well, i used to have a
cyberhome DVD player hooked up to it. For the basic reason, that it
had volume control on the remote, so i could keep the volume control
on the amplifier constant and vary from the remote. (the amplifier
does not have a remote, its an old model).


My main question, what kind of DVD player in the current market would
have


1. a good display so that DVD mp3's in sub-folders can be navigated
( within reason.) with relative ease.
2. Will have a volume control on the remote so that the outgoing
audio
input from the player can be varied


The dvd player application will be strictly for audio purpose only.


Appreciate your inputs and your experiences on this.


Best regards,


CC

Google sez: Apex. Possibly not high-end.

Looks pretty genric.

OK

No phono inputs, so you'll need a phono preamp.

Nope, it does not support DVD-A

Any audio you record will be:

(1) Converted to 16/48 digital
(2) The 16/48 will be MPEG lossy encoded, something like a medium-bitrate
MP3.
(3) If you want to transfer the audio out digitally, you'll have to burn an
MPEG A/V file onto a DVD-V, and then extract the audio from the DVD-V with
appropriate software from the video editing world.

You mean something like the RCA DRC8040N?

Been there, done that. I don't use it to do stand-alone audio recordings,
for reasons given above.
