Remote, no progressive scan, Disapointing Disc navigation!!! Well. that's it. GOOD build. Very good build! Excelente Image and Sound. Plays CDR and RW. Period. For someone who wants to throw a disc inside and push PLAY it's a fine machine.... but.. |

Strength:
Solid Build, Audio & Video Clarity, Easy Multi Zoning, Dual laser
Weakness:
Progressive Scanning?? I looked long and hard before I purchased this unit, and bought it after it was highly praised by a local Audio Magazine. I've had this fantastic DVD player for almost a year, and I have nothing but PRAISE for this complete DVD player. Similar Products Used: Other Pioneer and Sony Models. |

Weakness:
AUDIO I have now tried this player for 3 months, and Im amased about the DVD part. Fantastic colors and picture. But the audio part really sucks (sorry to say that)It's like the player cuts the low frequenses. A normal cd player is MUCH better for listening to audio cd's. |

Strength:
Picture and sound quality, DTS, AC3 many outputs.
Weakness:
Too light:) I bought this to match a Philips 32 widescreen. If there was any picture problem i would have seen it with this TV. In fact I now notice the lower quality on some poorly produced DVDs (there are some) at low bitrates. RGB scart output is best, sound is lower volume than normal (low output) BUT sound quality is excellent to my taste. Similar Products Used: Denon 5000 |

I'm not going to say so much more than that I love it. Since I got it in Andorra for almost half price, I must say that it has excellent value, I still would have if I payed full price. |

Strength:
Fantastic picture quality, SCART output.
Weakness:
Layer change not seamless. The picture quality from this DVD player is simply fantastic. The picture quality (via RGB SCART) on my 16x9 widescreen RPTV is simply superb. |

Strength:
Excelent Sound, Great as a CD Player, Fluid DVD Playback Framerate
Weakness:
Picture Quality (Color Definitions?) Ok,I guess I am not very good at making reviews, mainly because I'm not into technical details. I just wanted a good DVD Player that would fite nicely into my Audiolab 8000A, my Epos Speakers and my Panasonic TX28PK1F TV and that was good at playing dvds and also audio cds. Similar Products Used: Onkyo, NAD, Rotel and Philips (can't remember the models, but around the same price) |
