... in theory, there's nothing wrong with the format (although with the benefit of hindsight they could have made things a lot easier/usable), but practically DVD-Audio navigation is now embedded into chipsets (eg. MediaTek, ESS, Mitsubishi) which does not leave much scope for manufacturers to improve the usability even if they wanted to (like Ayre) simply because it's not cost effective from an R&D point of view.If I can get hold of a cheap small form factor LCD video display I might just hook it up to my player and forget the idea of video-less navigation. Do you have any suggestions? I can get a cheap portable DVD player with a composite video in for A$299, so I'm looking for something a lot cheaper than that.
