Summary:
One of the better DVD players, out there.Well built , less bulky than DV-09, DV-37,
Great for DVD's, not so great for CD's . Can't explain it , there's something missing regarding CD audio. No Matter, DVD player should only be used as a DVD player.

Strengths:
Great progressive scan image, plays mp3, video CD. Has 2-s-vdeo, 2 composites,
and 1 component.

Weaknesses:
The remote feels cheap, looks alot like my LD remote from the mid-90's. Audio lacks a bit.

Summary:
I was auditioning this unit for the universal capability.What I found was no matter what I was listening to,it always sounded like I was listening to a movie soundtrack.I've lived with the Sony es-999 for almost 2 years now & hafta say that the 47 comes nowhere near the sound quality.The 47 sounds tolaidback for my listening.I've been a musician for most of my life & know what instruments are supposed to sound like.There is no leading edge with the 47,just candy coating.This unit is another dvd-a player that tries to be an SACD player.Maybe someday Sony will get their heads out of the dark crevis,s & realize they could make a mint on a universal player.With all these dual discs coming out in the quick future there's greenback in them thar hills.The cd playback was the same(candy coated).

Strengths:
plays stuff

Weaknesses:
doesn't play some stuff too well

Summary:
I bought this DVD player before my new surroundsound setup which includes Definitive Technology Speakers and a Pioneer Eliet 43TX AV receiver This DVD player is a little hard to setup, but once you figure it out, it's the best one out there for the money. This is the top of the line of the Pioneer Elite Brand Awesome sound and picture

Strengths:
Audio, Video 108 Mhz Awesome built DVD player

Weaknesses:
None

Summary:
A decent allround player. I bought this player because of it's soft sound characteristic. My Kappa 400 have a tendency to become fairly bright. It's an ok cd-player but it didn't beat my Arcam cd72t.

Strengths:
Plays every format? iLink 12bit/108Mhz Video dac PS PAL, PS NTSC

Weaknesses:
Build, very light, looks cheap, the disc tray is purly crap.
