Itrigue 5.1 5600 & Sony DVD Player Advice

Can anybody help.
I really love the look of the Creative Itrigue 5600 5.1 Speaker Kit and was hoping to install in my living room as a home cinema solution.
Will it connect to my Sony DVD Player through its single digital connection ?
Are the speakers any good in this type of setup ?
Can I extend the cable length if necessary ?
Do I need any additional bits ie decoder or does everything i need come in the box ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Karl.

Karl,
This DVD player only have digital output and stereo analog line out. There's a few option available for you. If you are bend on getting the I-Trigue 5600, you can either get the decoder that I have mention earlier to help decoder the signal from the DVD player to the speaker or you can connect the speaker to the stereo line out RCA jack from the DVD player Line out section. After which, use the CMSS upmix feature that's inbuilt in the speaker system to upmix the stereo sound to a virtual 5.1 surround effect. This of course isn't true 5.1 channel from the DVD sources.
Another option would be to get a digital speaker system like the Inspire GD580 that have the ability to decode DTS and Dolby without additional set of decoder box.

DVD's not working on Sony dvd player

I just bought some TDK DVD-R 16x. I burned a DVD with my iMac G4 in iDVD. I tried to play it in my Sony DVD player and it said it was was not allowed because there were limitations or something. Can I fix this or do I need new DVDs??

Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the
DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may
encounter. Once the disc image is created,
double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that
should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn
the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually,
you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which
OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in
Applications folder), click on the virtual disc
(maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the
Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your
SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn
icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R
preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait.
Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor
over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to
work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower
for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to
click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This
may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk
to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD.
Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD
Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and
open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio
disks.)

I'm reading through the forums trying to figure why I am not able to play a DVD burned in iDVD that is "R", but the "RW" ones work fine.
Your post is very helpful and I've looked at the links suggested too. I just want to make sure I'm understanding. I've copied the movie to my hard drive using iMovie and then created an iDVD project. I then need to use either Disk Utility or Toast to make the DVD. I do not need to use the "burn" feature in iDVD. Is that correct?
I would appreciate any other suggestions. Maybe there is something else in the settings or preferences I need to adjust.
Thanks so much.

Burning DVD in Lion Problems. Keep getting REGION ERRORS in SONY DVD PLAYER @ playback. Settings correct. Leopard burns fine with all media. Lion does not with TOAST. DVDSTYLER burns a readable disk.

I have tried several types of media in a brand new (less than 2 months old) 27" iMac running the latest version of Lion. It will not burn a standalone DVD player readable disk. I am in North America and buring in NTSC format. Settings are set properly. Buring at BEST speed - states its burning at 3x. I have tested SONY printable DVD's +R and Verbatim non printable -R disks in Lion with Roxio Toast 8 & 10. No luck. DVDSTYLER burns a readable disk, but not realy happy about the look and functionality.
I am getting REGION LIMITATION errors in the SONY and other stand alone DVD Players.
Disk plays in XBox 360 and laptop PC also.
I am set to region 1.
AS I stated, DVDSTYLER does burn a readable disk, the problem seems to be with TOAST and LION ?
My old 21" iMac running Leopard 10.5.8 has no problems with burning. Any media, Toast 8, disks perform just fine.
Any suggestions ?
My only solution is to do the editing of movies I need to do on the 27" and transfer them to the 21" for burning.
lame
Or use the sub par DVDSTYLER program.
acceptable but disappointing.
ideas ?

SONY DVD player is brand spankin new.
Have not tried Imation disks.
Its just puzzling that Leopard and Toast 8 produces a DVD where as Lion and Toast 8 produces a coaster.
I tried not printiable Verbatims. Same result.
Need printables for the projects that I do.
Appreciate the suggetsions.
Will be methodically dilligent and post any results here.
any help from any others would be appreciated.

How do I record music from Itunes to a dvd to play on a Sony DVD player dvp sr500h?

How do I record music from Itunes to a dvd, that shows it is finishing but will not play on my hardrive or on a Sony DVD player, dvp sr500H?

If you are burning a DVD directly from iTunes (a feature which is present in older versions of iTunes but which was removed in iTunes 10.4), that creates a computer-type DVD for backup only and cannot play in any DVD player I know of. If you want to create a disk that can play in a DVD player, you'll need to burn an audio CD, an MP3 CD if the player will accept MP3 CDs, or use some other software.
Regards.

Connecting a Sony DVD player to Sony STR-DH750 AV Receiver with RCA cables

I have connected a Sony DVD player with RCA cables to Sony STR-DH750 AV Receiver at the VIDEO inputs. I get audio, but no video. How do I connect the DVD player to the AV receiver to get both audio and video?

Hi JB4,
Are you using HDMI cable in addition to your RCA connection? This HDMI cable is from the receiver going to the TV using the HDMI OUT port. Another option, you are using the RCA yellow + red&white right? you may connect the yellow cable directly to your TV if it has yellow port for video.
Thanks.

CD/DVD R discs won't play in Sony DVD player system.

I have just backed up my music and photos on CD R and DVD R discs on my new Macbook Pro. None will play on my Sony player. I previously purchased CD RW from Verbatim recorded on my Powerbook G4 and they play fine. I know there is technology change here, but what should I buy? For instance, can I still purchase discs that would play in my 4 year old dvd player or is that a waste of time? Do I need a new player?

I'd suspect the player since it is 4 years old and especially since it is a Sony who was slow to embrass that technology in the DVD players.
Before I bought my DVD player to play MP3 , I made a MP3 CDR took it to a store and played the disc in all the different models. Sony were the worst at the time. Heck within the same model one would play the disc and the other not.

Connect sony dvd player to internet

I want to connect my sony blue ray dvd player to the internet but my router is in another room far away. I tried to connect the device directly to my verizon set top box and was unsuccessful. Do I have to buy another router and a splitter for each room that has a dvd player that I want to connect to the internet? Does anyone have a solution?

unfortunately the ethernet port is not operational, so unless the player is wireless, then you will have to hardwire it.
Two solutions.
1. the router can be moved to any room that has a working fios cable box. You will need a 5-1000mhz two way splitter, and then you take the cable out of the wall, put that splitter at the end of it, then one cable goes to the cable box, and the other to the router, and then it is now close enough for you to hardwire your player.
2. you can buy an inexpensive used actiontec off of ebay, and then use this configuration and it helps to extend your FiOS network to rooms that are too far for ethernet cables to reach.
Can I get an ethernet connection in a room with only coax?

Wow.. INSANITY.. Sony DVD player crashes!

Well.. I am a little discouraged here.. I got my project all perfect, and it plays great on my computer DVD player as well as in the simulator.
I play it on my Sony commerical DVD player, and if I stop the DVD during any one of the menus, upon playing/resuming it jumps to a video track which is not used!! and then immediately crashes.
This unused video track is actually split into two stories, and used for menu transitions. It makes no sense that resuming the disc should have anything to do with menu transitions-- Yet if it were, it's not even playing the stories-- It's playing the full track, and the DVD player stops immediately......
I tested this on my computer DVD player, and this behavior does not occur.
Has anyone else had anything like this happen? I have many sub menus which are not connected to these stories, and I tested playing those menus, and sure enough.. by stopping and playing it plays that one track and then dies!
It makes no sense, and I am a total loss as for what to do to................
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

If there is no resume information stored in Player's registers, then the player will resume into playing the first track in the physical order on the disc. This track will play in full, and if there is no end jump defined, the player will crash.
You can either change end jump for this "unused track" or change a disc layout in "by VTS" tab. One of the tricks of SPEC authoring is to put a short black video in VMG area that jumps to the menu, so there is always something for the player to resume to. Since DVD SP will not let you access VMG, you can simply make this short black video as your first play, that jumps into the main menu of your disc.

Help! dvd won't play in dvd player or on mac!

this is my first imovie creation. it's just a slideshow in imovie, that i've exported to idvd to burn onto a dvd. i have an external dvd burner, so i am saving as a disc image, and burning the file that creates. the problem is, once i burn the disc, the dvd does not work in my dvd player, on my mac, anywhere!
i've never done this before, but i think i have all the settings correct. should i be doing something other than burning that disc image file? many thanks for any answers or help!!!

not on my dvd player
Your player would be considered pre-historic by today's DVD standards. I had a Sony of that age, which I gave to my neighbor. My friend had the same model and some of my DVDs played while others didn't. Seemed it didn't like some brands, like TDK. Since you're new to this, I'll give you the following "blurb" that should help you make some media decisions. You can take your DVD to a store and try it and buy a new player. I'd avoid Toshiba based on my experience with friend's players...
My reliable DVD-Rs have been: Apple 4X (Maxell ID), RiTek 4X; Verbatim 1-8X, RiData 8X, and PioData 8X, all white inkjet printable. The RiData and PioData checked out to be RiTek-made.
Verbatim is reliable and can be found in many stores in the USA. They even make a special grade for medical records.
You can buy the RiTek, RiData, and PioData at:
http://www.shop4tech.com/
Verbatim may be available in your neighborhood Office Depot store, or:
http://www.taperesources.com/
http://www.newegg.com/
Apple brand can be purchased from the Apple online store.
You can check the manufacturer's ID by using DVD Media Inspector: http://homepage.mac.com/raktajino/dvdmediainspector/dvdmediainspector.html
b Here's some discussion about formats: http://www.macintouch.com/dvdproblems5.html#oct03 Be sure to read Joel Lingenfelter's experience
Here's a great site: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
You could wade through this: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia
From that database: Five brands and who actually manufactures the DVDs:
TDK = TDK, RITEKG04, RICOHJPN, MXL, CMC, MCC
Memorex = CMC, RICOHJPN, PRODISC, INFODISC
Imation = CMC, MCC, Ritek, Prodisc
Sony = MCC 01RG20, Sony04D1, TYG01
Fuji = FUJIFILM02..4X, FUJIFILM03..8X, ProdiscF01..8x, ProdiscS03..4x, PVC001001..2x, RITEKG03..1x, TAIYOYUDEN..2x, TYG01..4x, TYG02..8x
This can result in "mixed" experiences...
My friend used TDK on his Mac and it wouldn't play in his 5 year old Sony DVD player. All of mine play OK in his "antique" Sony. Update: He finally gave up on that antique and bought a Sony DVPNS775V which also plays double-layer DVD+R.

Buttons over video doesn't work on set top dvd player

I've tested my project on apple dvd player & my set top panasonic dvd player and it works fine. my friend has tested it on his sony & a few other set tops without any issues.. I just put the disc in another sony dvd player & now the button hi-lites aren't showing up! To see if it was just the dvd player I tried a disc authored in scenarist that also uses buttons via forced subtitle streams & it works just fine. is my issue a result of using dvd studio semi-pro?
has anyone out there run into this?
p.s. both my track and disc settings have "force display" checked.

Unfortunately I have come across this all too often. So lets establish the facts here. The disc;
plays fine on stand alone DVD players
plays fine on Macs
plays fine on Windows computers
but it has trouble playing on her computer.
So her argument is that their must be something wrong with the disc...
Really?

Can disc utility copy an R+ dvd disc for playback on a dvd player on TV

I have a dvd (R+) that plays on my TV okay via a Sony DVD Player. When I try to copy it with the Finder to another R+ DVD the copy plays back okay on my iMac but not on the TV (using File Info on the copy the format is Mac OSX Extended). Can Disc Utility make an exact copy that won't have this problem?

Thanks, I was able to regenerate & verify that the DVD copy from the Master worked okay with my Sony DVD Player & TV. By using Disc Utility to generate the disc image &then the actual DVD copy I got the UDF format (which I guess stands for Universal Data Format). It is strange that the Finder's DVD copy process does not do the same, it always gives you the Mac OSX Extended format which doesn't work on a TV.
