I recently bought a Daewoo 9000S5 DVD player - had some good reviews

Stereo out to the amp). The sound quality is awful! I've played
around with the menus - setting SPDIF (?) to off or PCM (?) improves
things but it still sounds bad.

I assume the L/R connection you made is analogue. In which case
changing SPDIF config should make no difference.

It's marked as stereo L & R - standard phono type connectors. I wouldn't
have expected the SPDIF setting to affect this either, yet it undoubtedly
does. Would that indicate cheap rubbish or faulty product?

Definitely sounds faulty or at least 'not fir for the purpose' to me. if it
is advertised as playing Cds I would take it back for a refund.
