Thread: Does the DV-8680 play mp3's on DVD-R's?

So, if I burn 1000 mp3's as data format on a dvd-r, your player will read them and play them-just as if they were burned to a cd-r in DATA FORMAT right????

Sorry, I've gotten soo many wrong answers to this question from other manufacturers and I have to be sure you know what I'm talking about. I've taken a dvd-r disc with mp3s in data format to the local stereo shop and not a single deck they had would recongnize it. I tried this in an alpine, pioneer, eclipse, and panasonic dvd decks. If your deck does this then this would be truely unique in the current car DVD arena!

wheres the answer?

I have a question to ask about the DV-8680
i am thinking about purchasing one from digital world wide.
I have not gotten a response from Armen and was
Wondering if anyone might be able to tell me?
My question is what are inputs into the unit are?
I am hoping for a digital in as an optical or a Toslink.
Also if anyone might a have a photo of the back of the unit

I bought this HU from Armen a couple months back, but never had the chance to install it yet. I was looking for a HU to play CD's, DVD's, and MP3's. My other criteria was that I didn't want it to look so bling bling/high tech alien looking. The DV-8680 fit the build nicely. I was expecting the HU to have a silver face plate, but to my surprise, it arrived in black--even better.

In regard to your input/output question:
-1 auxillary video composite/stereo RCA input
-3 composite video outs (to feed mulitple monitors)

There aren't any SPDIF or Toslink in/outs. All digital processing is done natively. I believe it handles AC3, Dolby Digital and DTS surround formats.

This thread lives!

Anyhoots...to answer your question Goose, there are 6 individual preamp outs. So yes, there are outputs for rear, front and sub (pre)amp.

If I recall correctly, both center and sub are non-fading, so no discrete/individual level controls for those two. You'd pretty much have to set it and forget it, that is unless you install some sort of inline volume level control device.

Cheers

what happened to the pics????
