Pros: Wonderful DVD player for a low cost. Plays CD-R disks
Cons: Player & remote control are too light

After careful review and consideration of the current DVD players on the market, I chose to buy the Pioneer DV-414. And I'm damn glad that I did, too. This is one of the nicest pieces of hardware I've owned in a long time.

Pros: Many video outputs, easy use, great price
Cons: No dolby digital decoding, older model and harder to find now!

The DV-414 I purchased, was originally just a purchase to watch my VCD's I was creating because it could play and read CD-R discs, and watch DVD's on the side. Well, VCD's have left my life after I really got the DVD experience. The DV-414 is an...

Pros: I really liked every little thing about it
Cons: i couldn't think of any

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: 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: All
Cons: none

I have had this unit for almost 2 years now. It has given me next to perfect operation. I love the ease of use and the quality of the unit. I had the sale person at C****** C*** tell me it was a poor machine and would not last a year. It not only...

Pioneer has been a quality product for quit some time and I would have been lying if I said that I did'nt want to get a dvd player as soon as they hit the market but I had to wait for them to become affordable. I love the pioneer dvd player 414 it has...

Pros: priced right

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: Good picture and audio.
Cons: Remote is terribly designed.

I bought this player pretty much because it was the only one in the lower price bracket that my local Best Buy had in stock when I went shopping for DVD Players. And I'm definitely glad I picked this one up.

The player handles playback very...
