Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Daewoo's DVG-9000N offers convenient features like a karaoke microphone input, VGA monitor output (for computer-screen viewing), and PAL-NTSC switching (compatible with U.S. and non-region-encoded U.K. DVDs) alongside progressive-scan video for use with the latest HD-ready TVs.

Video features
Topping the DVG-9000N's abilities is progressive-scan playback, in which the unit scans one complete frame at a time (instead of rendering alternating sets of odd and even lines), giving you pristine, flicker-free images on a high-definition or HD-ready television.

Audio features
If your receiver does not process Dolby Digital or DTS but nevertheless sports multichannel analog inputs, you're in luck: the DVG-9000N decodes both 5.1-channel surround-sound formats, so you can still enjoy immersive movie and music mixes. You'll need six analog connections between the player and your receiver, for left, center, right, left and right surround, and the ".1" dedicated subwoofer signal.

Connections
You can forgo analog connections altogether, as the player offers a choice of either optical or coaxial digital-audio outputs, since some surround receivers offer only one or the other (if you have a choice, we recommend the coaxial connection, which will give you slightly better sound).

The DVG-9000N's back panel also offers six-channel analog outputs (use only the ones marked "left" and "right" for analog stereo connections), and four video outputs: standard S-video and composite-video outputs and the three-pronged progressive-scan video and VGA outputs mentioned above for full compatibility with all current televisions.

Other features
The DVG-9000N is karaoke-ready with a front-panel .25-inch microphone input--just plug in and sing along with your favorite CDs or special karaoke CDs and DVDs. The unit is compatible with DVD, VCD, SVCD, CD, and MP3-CD-R/CD-RW.

4.0 out of 5 stars Daewoo DVG-9000N DVD Player: I like it., February 24, 2002

By 

Noel (San Bruno, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Daewoo DVG-9000N Progressive-Scan DVD Player (Electronics)

The Daewoo DVG-9000N DVD Player is a very good machine if you can get one that is reliable. Mine worked just fine right out of the box. Quite a few have had to return their 9000's. I left mine on 24 hours a day for the first week to burn it in and test it for reliability. So far it has been dependable and all functions work properly.
I bought it because I could connect it directly to a computer monitor via its VGA output. The picture quality in that mode (progressive scan VGA to computer monitor) is stunning. With the s-video and composite video outputs, the PQ very good, especially at the price. I have not tried the progressive component outputs. The remote control is very comprehensive. The remote can alter pitch on DVD movie soundtracks as well as on the Karoake microphone input. Changing actors' voices can be very entertaining.
I downloaded a firmware update, burned it onto CD-R and loaded it into the DVG-9000. Now I can bypass/access all region codes and the Macrovision is disabled. Before the update, the Macrovision was permanently active even with non copy-protected DVD's. The picture quality improved slightly after the Macrovision was turned off.
The unit is not as well built as the big name brands but it offers a wealth of features at its price range. My CD-R's and CD-RW's and MP3's play just fine. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect !?, March 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Daewoo DVG-9000N Progressive-Scan DVD Player (Electronics)

This unit has suprises both: good &bad!
Nice features about this model:
120-240V !
NTSC/PAL !
Possible regions 1-6(8)playback!
Multistandard--it plays on any TV !

Karaoke+pitch adjustment/mic level
Nice simple remote control--with more functions than you'd expect!
Nice display on the unit!
Plays all kinds of discs: DVD/VCD/SVCD/DVCD/CD/CD-RW/CD-R/MP3/MPG2
Quite good-looking silver finish!
5.1-channel surround sound decoder! (1sub/2sur/2main/1center-channel analog output!)
Optical and coaxial digital-audio output for Dolby Digital/DTS
S-Video/VGA outputs
Motion-zoom (1.5x/2x/4x)

BAD NEWS:
Component-video output is progressive-scan only; requires HD-ready TV!!
Blue lines during some dvd playbacks, every 5-30 minutes!!!!(press stop/play and lines are gone for a while!)
Macrovision ON!! No bypass! [Though this is case with 99% of all DVD players.]
[poor] plastic /metal finish

Manual very poor!
[poor] filling remote!

Some quality problems!!!

But!!--good value anyway!!! All in One! No more problems right now!!!
I give only 3 stars because of this blue horizontal lines from time to time!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Component output misleading, December 22, 2001

By 

"etsjeep" (Rock Hill, SC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Daewoo DVG-9000N Progressive-Scan DVD Player (Electronics)

I odered this DVD player because of the features listed and one of the most important features was the component video output (which is clearly listed as a feature), but the component video output of this player only works in progressive scan modes which makes it incomptable with most all anaolg tv sets with component input(only puts out progessive scan and not interlaced scan which gives you nothing but a scrambled mess on a regular tv set when using the component video). This was a major disappointment for me which took a lot of research to find out as you are not told this anywhere. I am hoping that Daewoo has a firmware or software upgrade/fix for this, as otherwise this seems to be a great unit, but not worth giving up the use of my component video inputs on my Sony KV-36FS17. If Daewoo can not help me and alot of others with this component video problem ...alot of these players [will go] back and they also need to stop advertising them as having component video outputs (unless they add that using the component vidoe outputs requires a hdtv set), as many others units have a switchable output for the progressive scan so you can use it on non hdtv.
