Topic: Another DVD-A question...

[musicsherlock]

...haven't started my research yet, but does anyone know if these little portable DVD players support DVD-A playback?

[pfife]

I'd be really surprised... a lot of regular dvd players don't do it.

i asked that in another thread, and someone pointed out a $2200 unit that does.

I saw that MOKE, but I've also seen in dash DVD/CD players that go for $5-600...but I think they just play mp3's burned on DVD media...

i think the in dash dvd/cd players play dvd videos, or audio in dvd-v format.  the mp3 thing is usually an added bonus.  or atleast i thought.

There were at least 2 DVD-A players for the car.
I remember them from Crutchfield a few years back.

Pioneer's



Here's a bit from Crutchfield on it:

Edit: This one says it plays DVD-A, but I don't see it anywhere else!
