In Reply to: Avoid Netflix!!!!! posted by petew on November 07, 2000 at 10:24:47:
I have been using NetFlix for almost a year now and my DVD player is a Pioneer DV-09. As far as I remember, the Pioneer has never had any problem playing the movies I've rented from Netflix, at least not yet anyway. This is not saying there is something wrong with your Denon nor discs rented from Netflix were always as clean or new as they should have been but I'd check into the player itself as some DVD players are pickier than the others. At one instance, my friend's DV-05 could not play the same disc that my DV-09 had no problem playing. Good luck!
Follow Ups:
This copy of "Life is Beautiful" is the worst I've had yet, so I guess I'll keep it and take it around to the HT stores and use it for my "acid test". Just got an invitation for a DVD-A demonstration sponsored by Kenwood. If their machine can play this disc, I'll have to buy it.Have you any experience with the "lazer lens cleaners"--those CDs with the tiny brushes? I'm afraid to use them, but I have tried cleaning the lens on my old JVC with a Q-tip and 100% IPA . Funny if it's the lens, because the CD performance of the Dennon is flawless, and not a single glitch on brand new DVDs. I understand the error correction is not as good on high-end players though. Oh well, you get what you pay for: less is more. I'm thinking it's time to buy the JVC S-VHS deck that Audio Advisor has been pushing so much lately.
Just found this out from my buddy at work who once rented a HK flix from Netflix that would refuse to play in his Sony DVD player. The reason: Wrong region coded disc as he later found out. DVD players manufactured for N. America is coded for region 1 as I understand.
***Have you any experience with the "lazer lens cleaners"--those CDs with the tiny brushes? I'm afraid to use them,...and rightly so. If you have dust on the lens, the brushes will leave the streaks - you can see these clearly under the microscope. Use air duster instead.
Got "Central Station" in the mail the other day, and it plays beautifully, so I'm convinced it's not the player (Dennon's top of the line machine, I should hope not!).I'm concerned about the idea that somebody is ordering NetFlix DVD's and swapping them with disks coded for another region. Is there a way to find out the region code of the disk?
Isn't there a way for Netflix to check the disks for damage and proper code before shipping?
I still haven't received any feedback from Netflix.
Oh, Central Station looks good so far, but I had to stop so I can watch the election scandal.
