True, pcdps needs to read faster in antishock mode, but it does this by spinning the disc faster, so that it reads data at a faster rate. There should also be some error check to see when it has read in bad data due to shock (or scratches, or whatever) so there may plausibly be situations where you get a better output with antishock on than off.
However there is also the concern of the pcdp reading data wrong when spinning up and down in power-saving antishock mode...

This is the usual problem that is referred to. However there are some pcdp models that have uncompressed antishock--those shouldn't lose quality this way. These include (but are not limited to):
Panasonic CT470, 570
Sony D-EJ725/825/925
I can think of only two explanations, it reads ahead and therefore needs to read faster -> does a sloppy job. |
