0 lxrichbirdxl Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Wow, thanks a million!What exactly is that removable cover like thing which that player is inserted in?Can it play DTS when listening through heaphone?Btw, I was thinking of playing DVD-Audio/SACD on a portable players like that...but looks like it still remains as a dream...haha.

0 Ishiyoshi Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 What exactly is that removable cover like thing which that player is inserted in?←That is its LIP-30 lithium ion rechargeable battery.Can it play DTS when listening through heaphone?←I don't believe you can. DTS only works with Optical Digital Out. If there is any consolation, the D-VM1 offers the two sound modes to enjoy your DVD with your headphone via Virtual Surround - 1) V-SUR1 for inner-ear headphones and 2) V-SUR2 for open-air headphone such as the MDR-F1. Option 2 allows Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mercury_in_flames Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 (edited) this wasnt a dvd 'walkman' but it was a dvd player and cd writer i think, it was basically a portable cd/dvd rom drive, that looked like a cd walkman, It featured the rm-mc11el. ring any bells? here it is: model: MPD-AP20Uit had a usb connector for connecting to a pc, but worked as an mp3 player etc: Edited November 20, 2005 by mercury_in_flames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Damage Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Mmm, I remember that unit. I never got around to getting it though, so I'm afraid it'll remain "undiscovered."It looks very interesting though, and it has the ability to play WAV and MP3 files off of a burned DVD... To bad there won't be any follow ups by anyone in this regard however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 adam917 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 I wish a new version of this came out that was audio-geared that would play DVD-Audio & lossless / other digital audio files on DVDs. I'm dying for a good MP3/WMA/Vorbis/FLAC/WAV-DVD player... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about this (old) thing (with poor battery life). It was the only walkman-sized device to play MP3s of a DVD-R! I wonder how much they want for it now and if it's even worth getting. How's navigation of directories on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MDX-400 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 One & only "DVD" walkman ever released by sony till date.=Definately ,I would like see further description/specification of D-VM1.True in the very strict literal sense of the term "DVD Walkman" but you guys are forgetting 1998's "DVD Discman", the very first DVD Discman by Sony, the PBD-V30...http://www.movie-mania.dk/Hardware/Sony/PBDV30.htmhttp://www.homecinemachoice.com/reviews/hc...SonyPBD-V30.phpSince Sony stopped using the Discman name in favour of "CD [or DVD in this case] Walkman" and since the PBD-V30 is the same product type, there have been more than one of these made by Sony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Stefan1 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Wow a DVD walkman would definitely be something I'd be interested in.. especially if they get it as thin as the DNE20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
lxrichbirdxl
Just another discontinue Sony product.
Well, I remember see this in a promotion booklet that Sony sent to my house, back in 2002.
This babe has got the ability to play many DVD formats while still in around the standard size of a portable CD player!
...and it has a seperate 3.5"LCD to view the content if you play DVD. Enough teasing, but I'll try to find out more about this player.
Anyone here has any info on it?
Thanks!
