JohnA Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 I'm considering a new DVD player to replace my Sony DVP-S3000. It's not old but will not pass DTS on DVDs. It sounds great on Cds and I don't want to give that up, either. There was a thread on this BBS about DVD players, but I can't find it. Where can I find DVD player tests to help with my evaluation and what is the Chroma Bug? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NastyHabits Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 K-Daddy, You're right. It's a "flaw" in the chip. Before you run out and buy a new player, I'd suggest you obtain a copy of the DVD they use to test (I think it was Toy Story), and see if you find it particularly offensive or even noticeable. Keep in mind two things, first, the reviewers admitted to being particularly sensitive to the "chroma bug", second, DVD is still a relatively "infant" technology with evolving standards in both hardware and software. With greater market penetration of HD and Digital TV and more movies are shot on digital video, the lowest common denominator shall rise. Meanwhile we "pioneers" must endure glitches and bugs.
