Hi, im using my dvd960 as an cd player.
Im looking for information regarding the philips DVD960. It's a bit of a strange machine in the (2000/2001) philips range, like the grundig gdv200 and revox s27 build by french company micromega. Philips says it has paid special attention the the audio circuits.
Information and reviews of the dvd960 can be read here:

The specific information im looking for is information like which dac had been used in de dvd960, or which cdtransport.
Maybe someone here can help me with this information? Any information is welcome.
Thx!

Someone on another forum told me the cdtransport is a VAL3000. Does anyone have information about this transport?
Photos of the inside can be seen here:

I have a technical schema of the audio board of the dvd960 player. I am not technical, so i have no clue what i see here. Maybe someone can comment on what i see and on the quality of the board and components used? Thx!

Are the tl072c opa's in the player really the opa2134's mentioned in the a/v panel print-layout (i think OA1 and OA5) ?
The 2134's on the layout i posted 2 posts ago shows it has a 3 leg, the tl072c's has 6 legs. (legs: i dont know the correct name for it lol)

I recently bought a used Philips DVD960 that only reads CDs and no DVDs. Has anyone got a service manual and some sensible ideas on how to modify it? It is going to be used in the bedroom and not the main system.
At first glance it uses one of the earlier VAL3000 DVD transports with double laser and a cast metal subframe. My T+A DVD 1210 R had the same transport until it went to nirvana and was replaced by a VAL6011 at the factory.
The DAC is an AD1855 24 bit/96 kHz converter with internal op-amps. The analog outputs are buffered by a single OPA2134 dual op-amp with no output decoupling caps (the DVD960 uses an offset correction instead). This seems to be a very minimalist approach which results in a pretty good sound for the price I paid.
Only major drawback is the missing remote as the DVD960 only has buttons for Play, Pause, Stop and Open/Close on the front panel. Does anyone know if a Micromega Minium DVD remote can be used as the DVD960 was manufactured by Micromega?
Best regards,
StefanAC
