I have tested two 841s. First one locked when

I hit eject while the disc was in menu mode. Player froze and would not respond at all. Had to extract the disc manually. Won't even get into the amount of picture artifacts this baby but into the signal. Also its ouput signal was very different from that of the other DVI sources I was using. | Having to set up DVI manually beofre it works.. well that takes some time the first time you deal with the unit. Had a unit reset itself and had to go through the process again... SERVICE CALL WAITING TO HAPPEN.

Overall really unhappy with the player and have removed it from all bids that it was in. Were waiting for the 941s but it just keeps us held up on jobs. Looking to get in a denon or something to test. We need a DVI player in the arsenal.

MY SNIP ADDED:

I just programmed a CHAD (pronto) with one of these. The power off work around (play, power) seems to put it into the setup mode next time it's started: "CHOOSE LANGUAGE:" Like you, not consistent or repeatable.

It first started putting a screen full of frozen white dots up on the DVI output. Switched to the S video output and it's fine. Couldn't reset it and resolve it.

I've got to go back and check it further. Service call waiting to happen? Looks like it.
