DVD Hardware news : Hitachi puts DVD player on hold
Following our report yesterday of appalling picture quality on a number of recent DVD players, Hitachi has agreed that there's a problem with its DV-P505E player and promptly put the model on hold while it holds an internal investigation into the cause of the glitch. Since a number of these players have already been sold to the public, and many more are already in stores (Dixons is even advertising one on its latest TV advert), Hitachi could have a real problem on its hands - although as the pictures could just be described as not very good compared to the competition rather than absolutely faulty, it could be unlikely that any potential compensation claims from irate P505E owners will have any legal weight. The company is promising an official response in the next week or two once it has investigated the problem for itself.

Disturbingly, it looks like the problem could, as predicted yesterday, be far more widespread than it currently appears. There seems a possibility that even Denon has fallen prey to the problem, with its DVD1500 player. We will try and confirm this as soon as possible. What’s more, we’ve heard that identical problems have been found on some Region 4 players.

So what’s the likely cause of this potentially industry-damaging problem? The most likely possibility seems to be a rogue (ie, crap) MPEG decoder chip. Most DVD manufacturers source their decoder chips from one of three different OEM manufacturers, and one of these - we can’t say which yet for fear of legal action if we’re wrong - seems to crop up in all of the troublesome players. It’s likely that this will provide the initial focus for Hitachi’s investigations.

A second possibility is simply player-specific dodgy digital to analogue conversion systems, but this seems less likely than the decoder chip solution since the problem is so identical across a range of players. Watch this space for more as we get it.
