Pioneer DV-414 DVD Player

Pros: very sharp pictures, excellent sound quality, relatively inexpensive
Cons: need the remote for many functions

I've written a few opinions about DVDs, so I thought that it was about time I wrote an opinion about our DVD player. The Pioneer DV-414 DVD Player is an excellent value. When we decided to slowly start rebuilding our stereo systems and ...

Pros: Good picture and sound quality.
Cons: Remote design is awkward; has a slight lip synch problem.

This was the first DVD player I ever purchased way back in 1999 and at the time I'd say I was a satisfied customer. But I'll stop right there at "satisfied," because I wasn't swept off my feet or anything. At the price I got it for it was worth it, ...

Pros: Easy to use...
Cons: Could have more bells & whistles!

I purchased my Pioneer DVD Player, model DV-414 from Sears, and got it for under $300.00 using my cash back coupons and money off coupons. Apparently I got it at a good price.

Feature for feature, for the price, it performs well...

...

Pros: Awesome Bang for the Buck... Feature filled
Cons: it doesn't have a decoder

I would be lying if I told you I didn't want a DVD player as soon as they hit the market but I wanted to wait until it was at a price I could afford and had all the features I wanted. The Pioneer DV-414 was it. So far I have had nothing but awesome...

Pros: Easy set up
Cons: None

I purchased this DVD player due to an act of nature.(See my review of the Yamaha RX-V2095) The main reason I decided on this unit was that it does not have "Every little frill known to man" included. It's easy to set up and even easier to use....

Pros: Great Format, Great Entry Level or General Use Item
Cons: None, unless you desire higher end features

It's not often that a store that sells high end audio/video products, recommends that you hold off on buying something that they sell. Such was the case when I went to buy a DVD player. Their suggestion was to hold off for the next generation. Well...

Pros: Excellent construction, Separate Video Outputs
Cons: None that I could find

This machine is my first DVD Player and I thoroughly enjoy using it. It seems to have nearly all the best features I wanted and at a fantastic price. I wanted a machine with DTS output as well as component video output, although I have neither hooked up...

Pros: good sound and quality video
Cons: little expensive

The picture quality is among the best if not the best from any dvd players ever made with film like quality, especially when it plays quality dvd movies (my display is Sony KP-61V75 RPTV). The audio section is not to be outdone by its video quality. The...

Pros: priced right
Cons: disc should go in opposite way

Of course being the big kid i am, I had to have a DVD player. I have had a Pioneer cd player since 1992 so i of course looked into the Pioneer DVD player. I was happy to see that they have put a few out. When it comes to buying things, sometimes i...

Pros: Great video output, plays CD-R media
Cons: None

I bought my DV-414 in January '00, and since then it's never had ANY problems. For the average mid-range home theater setup, this unit is perfect.

The picture quality seems superb to me, though I don't have anything to compare it against as...

Pros: Great picture and sound at a great price.
Cons: Only room for one disc at a time.

I went shopping for a DVD player because I had recently purchased a new computer which had DVD built in. I have a big screen tv in another room and was tired of watching and not being able to take advantage of DVD quality on a 17 inch monitor. After...

Pros: Great sound and picture
Cons: VCD capabilities

I have had this dvd player for over a year now. I would recommend it to anyone. I have had nothing but 110% from this unit. It was recommended from a friend who loves his too. It is very easy to use. It gives great picture quality and spectacular...

Pros: Too Many to mention!!!!
Cons: can be expensive!

Let me start off by saying that this product has so many advantages over using a VCR, that it would take me all day and night to go through them all. So, let me start with the most important things. Crystal clear picture- everyone wants it, now you can...

Pros: Great price, easy to use, great quality
Cons: none

I currently own 2 DVD players, a Sony 770 and a Pioneer DVD 414. They are both great DVD players but I can only recommend the DV 414 if you do not want to spend a lot of money. The pricing on the DV 414 is very competitive, you can get one at Circuit...

Pros: Plays CDRW/CDR media, composite video outputs
Cons: No mini-DVD support or SVCD.

I already had a computer based DVD ROM drive, but was weary of the cables and messing around I had to do for controlling movie playback. However, I also wanted to be able to play Video CDs that I made from videos I recorded on my HI8 camera. There are...
