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?
