A Great Value August 18, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This upconverting Pioneer DVD palyer is loaded with features. It can even remember where you left off when watching a disc another day. The upconversion takes even older television programs, and gives them a fresh new look. Anyone who'd replacing an older DVD player, getting a second one for another room, or getting into DVD's for the first time, and isn't ready to pay for Blu-Ray will find the performance and price of this player well worth the expenditure.

Pros: Full controls on front panel Excellent image quality (no blocking) Slim and quality feeling USB 2.0 content with HD images
Cons: No optical audio out Some graininess to dark scenes
Who should buy this player? Anyone looking for a full featured upconverting DVD player for a reasonable price.
I like the DVD player. The main reasons I bought this model is that it is upconverting for my HD TV and that it has full controls on the front panel. My TV is only 32" so there is only a slight improvement in image quality over standard DVD. Those with larger TVs might notice more improvement. The quality is nowhere near HD or Blu-Ray of course, but still an improvement. The full controls on the front panel are important to me, because any function can be performed without the remote in case it is lost.
Menus are intuitive and easy to use, and the HDMI output is handy to reduce cables. I run the HDMI cable to my TV and the Digital Audio out to my Amplifier (it doesn't take HDMI at all), and that works great. I just disable the audio output in the HDMI cable (through the menus) and no sound comes out the TV (which is what I wanted).
Overall, this is a great DVD player, and I hope it lasts longer than my previous players from other brands. I like the feel and function.
**** Works with HDMI to DVI **** May 29, 2008 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been buying all kinds of DVD players (2 years searching) with no luck for the HDMI to DVI. Until this one. It works!!! Works in 1920x1080p - 1920x1080i - 1280x720p - 720x480p - 720x480i Even tried the Pioneer DV-400V-K. Pioneer said that one would work - but it did not. Pioneer also said the only difference was the USB on this is in HD and the DV-400V-K is standard definition. Pop in a USB key and it lets you scroll through video (WMA's) and picture (JPEG's) in HD. The picture is fantastic and the multiple adjustments you can do in the settings for picture and sounds. There are so many settings, you will not believe it.
This is "THE BEST" UP-Convert DVD player.
