Arcam DV88 Picture Problems

As you asked for other experiences, I can tell you that my DV-88P has NEVER given me any problems at all in 2 years of use - picture or otherwise.

Perhaps the PAL/NTSC or even the DVD region setting is wrong?? Sounds like it would be worth contacting the distributor or Arcam themselves to ask.

Though I really like this player, mine is for sale because I have 3 other disc players 'in-stock' right now, including an Audiomeca Mephisto II.X, so something's gotta go ... if I ever get around to posting the ad.

In any case, I believe that a DV-88 is a smashing bargain at the price these players sell for used - a truly excellent dual-purpose DVD/CD player.

Make sure your TV type is set correctly in the Arcam. If the TV type is set to PAL in the Arcam and your TV is NTSC-only, you'll get the symptoms you describe.

You might want to call Arcam. They have been quite upfront about some of the problems they have experienced. There might be a firmware update that might help. Have the model # ready and describe the problem in detail. They seem to be very sincere in their efforts to help.
