Pioneer DV-606D DVD Player
Manufacturer: Pioneer ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Product Features:
ASIN: B00000JXV6 |
Product Description
The Pioneer DV-606D is well thought out and full featured. It supports Dolby Digital and DTS formats. The unit itself is about the size and weight of a regular CD player. The front panel is clean and again reminds one of a centrally loaded CD transport. The front panel has disc transport controls (Play, etc.) and buttons for the various surround modes. It also has a button that turns the luminous display off which is very nice once you have settled in to watch a disc.The DV-606D performs flawlessly in DVD mode with absolutely phenomenal picture quality with extremely full deep blacks and no digital artifacts. The 5.1 CH sound is absolutely awesome, making regular pro-logic seem like so much mush. Pioneer Exclusive Viter-Bi RF Decoding process allows for improved error correcting capability. This player also features the newly developed Accurate Digital Servo for precise data reading and Automatic Gain Level Adjustment that minimizes jitter.Amazon.com Product Description
Looking for more technical specifics? This Pioneer DVD contains an exclusive viter-bi RF decoding process for improved error-correcting capability for the playback of cinema-quality DVDs. In addition, Pioneer has included newly developed accurate digital servo technology for precise data reading. An automatic gain level adjustment minimizes picture jitter, and 10-bit video processing re-quantizes the 8-bit video data to 10-bit video data prior to the D/A conversion process. The 10-bit video D/A converter converts 10-bit video data into an equivalent analog signal with minimum conversion error. This unit also contains 24-bit resolution audio D/A converter with 96 kHz sampling frequency. Hi-bit conversion re-quantizes the original 16-bit and 20-bit audio data for equivalent 24-bit resolution on DVD and CD. There are also built-in crossovers for 6-channel input (front, center, and rear).Customer Reviews:
Excellent Piece.......2000-01-17
Excellent Product.......1999-12-23
Very Happy.......1999-12-18
I had researced DVD, and being a Sony Person I assumed I would get a Sony, but with all the sound troubles (and more) that they've had, I decided to get the Pioneer. I have a Pioneer laser and it's great, and this Pioneer DVD player is just as great - if not better. This player has performed beautifully - no sound trouble, no picture trouble, easy to follow instructions - I could go on and on.
For people who are new to the DVD scene like me, but also have knowledge of most things pertaining to audio/visual - this player is perfect. I doubt you could get the name, quality, and ease of this player from some other company without spending more. That's not necessary! This player is priced great and is worth it!
Best of all, this was a higher grade model marked down to the medium grade - when Amazon has it back in stock - get it! It's great, and has the Dolby Digital Decoder built it. If you're not sure (like I was) what all the techno talk is about, suffice it to say that you need the decoder.
All the features you could want in a DVD are here, and more. Unless you have a home theater system that is so high tech that it's almost an actual theater - you don't need all the bells and whistles. This player has the bells and whistles you need for now and if you ever want to upgrade your system.
Don't get me wrong, this is not an entry level DVD player, but it's great for anyone who is new or is upgrading their entry level DVD they mistakenly bought a few years ago. Because it has everything you could want.
Take my advice for this player - you won't be disappointed!
Things you should know.......1999-12-02
** Video Output **
This model also has three video outputs: Video output jack, S-video jack, and component video out jack. Of course you need three different types of wires for each one. Only the cord for the video output jack comes with the DVD. I recommend you buy Monster Cables for the component video out jack (relatively expensive, but worth it). You can definitely see the improvement in the picture quality. If you do go this route, then you must have a TV with component video in. Also, you must change the DVD player's settings (see pg. 42 in the instructions). If you don't, all you will get is black and white, and I seriously thought something was wrong with either my TV or the DVD. Took me a couple days to figure out that you need to explicitly change the settings.
** DTS & Dolby Digital 5.1 **
This model has a DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 decoder built in, so you don't need an amp/receiver with a DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 decoder (but you do need some sort of receiver with 2 front, 2 rear, center, and sub-woofer outputs to take advantage of DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1).
If you do already have a capable amp/receiver, read below for more details.
My ears couldn't tell the difference between DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1. However, you can definitely tell the difference between simple Dolby Pro-Logic and DTS/Dolby Digital 5.1. So it's definitely worth upgrading your system to handle DTS/Dolby Digital 5.1.
** Audio Output **
Read this if you have an amp/receiver with a DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 decoder, and you want to connect this DVD player with it:
You have two digital outputs: coaxial and optical, both use a different type of cord. Someone recommended that the coaxial was better than the optical, but I really don't think it matters too much. At least, I couldn't tell the difference between the two types. Of course the only cord that comes with this is the standard audio cord. If you want to take advantage of the digital outputs then you will have to spend more $$ to buy the appropriate cord.
** CD player **
This player also plays compact discs. I mistakenly bought a Sony CD player, so I could play CD's. This model is also capable of playing DTS encoded CD's! There are not that many DTS encoded CD's, but just like DVD's, the sound quality is tremendous. Listening to the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over", you can really place the instruments and you almost feel like you are listening to them live.
In summary: If you don't want to spend big $$, and you are a newbie, then this DVD player is worth buying because it has all the necessary video/audio outputs. The picture quality is good. The only bad thing is the relative slow access time, so loading up the movie and skipping to different chapters is slower than I would like.
Very Pleased with the Pioneer DV-606D.......1999-11-18

GoVideo D645 Progressive-Scan DVD Player

ASIN: B0007IGZ6I |
Product Description
Sleek, Slimline Design fits easily into an entertainment center. Standard 17" wide chassis matches other home theater components. Lighted front panel display - Easy to check on disc status (play, pause, etc...). Full-function remote - Access to all key functions from across the room. Progressive Scan DVD Player - Enjoy high quality video on your digital TV. Video connectivity - Component, S-Video and composite video outputs. Audio connectivity - Analog and digital audio outputs.Amazon.com Product Description
Turn your living room into a multimedia wonderland with GoVideo's sleek, silvery, and amazingly affordable D645 single-disc DVD player. The unit puts your entire collection of DVDs, CDs, recordable CDs, and image CDs (JPEG/Kodak Picture CD) right at your remote-wielding fingertips, just a few button pushes away from movie entertainment (compatible with NTSC and PAL televisions), homemade DVDs (DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW), hours of MP3 music playback, and custom slideshows of your digital photos.Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the D645 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
Top-of-the-line component-video outputs (switchable between progressive 480p and standard-definition 480i) help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. (If your older TV has no colored RCA video input jacks, merely a threaded RF coaxial-type audio/video input, you'll need a video modulator/switcher, sold separately.)
A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output (RCA coaxial) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver and multichannel speaker system.
What's in the Box
DVD player, a remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, a quick-reference card, a product-registration card, and a stereo analog audio/composite-video cable.
