I'd have somebody good do it on such a nice player. I'd be inclined to add AC-3 too if I bought an S2. It doesn't have as much directionality in the effects as the AC-3, but it's no slouch! Besides, PCM comes up more often than AC-3 on LD's. Don't underestimate PCM especially with that player. Films like COURAGE UNDER FIRE and STIR WARS PHANTOM MENACE really are great on LD, newer stuff, designed for 5.1. However, the AC-3 mixes of some of the more recent films are outstanding. I'd site STAR WARS, THE FLY (1957), GONE WITH THE WIND AC-3 remix, and THE TEN COMMANDMENTS as good examples. Yes-way, especially with a player as good as the S2. Well, anyway, the S2's PCM will be better on some AC-3 LD's. If it wasn't for the 20 or so DTS LD's I own, for which I need my coaxial output for, I'd just disconnect it from my AV9000. The AV9000 doesn't digitize the analog inputs, has an AC-3 demodulator on board, has automatic priority LD audio switching in this order: AC-3 > PCM > analog.
The Marantz AV9000 or it's reciever near equivalent, I can't remember it's model #, are great with LD players. The 97 has the least smear of these by a little, the 8000 that has been mentioned is a very good performer but has more smear than the 97. If your pair it with a good head unit you can use it's DA's for PCM. The S2 and X9 are the only two decks Ive seen that do not smear on my TV. I found a copy of video essentials so after I get every thing re-setup my next plan is to setup my tv.Albert, the LD-S2 is especially good at reproducing PCM. _ the rein-o official signature: First thing I did.

And also you may need to adjust your TV or Projector sharpness or NR, you may even have to lower it beyond what you think it should be set. For me there are some discs that i think look better on my CLD-3070 but then i see major chroma noise and picture is slightly better. Yeah, make sure that knob is turned all the way to sharper, it will be ever so slightly softer but nothing that you would really notice unless you were watching HQ DVDs or blurays and went to LD then you will really notice. Under the lower right door, turn the sharpness contrast all the way clockwise (to right) Now, sit back and enjoy./ _ SERVOS SYSTEMS: FOCUS,TRACKING,SLIDER,SPINDLE,TILT, TANGENTIAL(1984 BACK) TIME BASE CORRECTOR. I need to do some side by side comparisons. The images seem to be slightly softer, but edges seem better defined. I'm still not sold on the PQ being better than my Proscan psld46. Also thank you to every one that gave suggestions. I spun up fifth element and hit eject instead of stop and the problem went away.

Used his tip on how to clean the spindle clamp, works like a charm. I dont have a remote setup for it and there is no stop button on the face of the player. It may have been because I went from play to eject. I cant wait to hook up it and play a few movies on it. _ the rein-o official signature: Thank you for the tip rein-o, we are currently buying a house and packing stuff up. So you could try giving him a PM to see what he says. My only guess is there could be a rubber mat on the spindle that may need to be wiped off? I don't have the issue you have and don't think I've heard of it before as I know grasshopper had 2 or 3 of them. Glad to hear you have an amazing underrated player, I can't be happier with mine. I'm very glad I did because I found out all the operations of the tuner and was then able to not only set it up quickly but also to get much more from it that poke-and-hope trialling would ever achieve.

I managed to download the official Sony multi-lingual manual from with no problem at all - a really quick and easy service. It soon became clear that to get the best from this excellent tuner I needed a decent manual because much of the operation was not intuitive to a newboy to hi fi like me. Having bought a pre-owned Sony FM stereo tuner through eBay, it came without any manuals.
