Pioneer DV-525 DVD Player

Pros: Great Cost, Easy to use, Many great settings
Cons: Since December, we still have not received the 5 movies we were suppose to get because of backorder.

My husband and I purchased this DVD Player around Christmas time, and boy was this a GREAT investment. This DVD player is AWESOME! Very easy to use and designed in a manner where it will match all other home entertainment system accessories that you may...

Pros: Very versatile, plays DVD's from around the world unlike most DVD players, elegant non-messy design and much more...
Cons: Cannot operate DVD Menus without a remote control. DON'T LOOSE IT! Get a universal remote with DVD capability for backup purposes.

Yes, this is one of the handful amount of DVD players made for the US market that can play DVD's encoded into PAL system (625/50). PAL television system is used in most of the World, except a few countries like USA, Canada, Japan and Korea that use NTSC...

Pros: Great picture and sound; low price
Cons: none

I waited over a year to take the plunge into the DVD market. I had investigated all the different players and was about to settle on the Toshiba when Pioneer came out with the 525. I had read numerous articles on the "lip-synch' problem that the...

Pros: IT'S DVD! Great picture
Cons: No zoom, scan

ok, first and foremost... DO NOT LOSE THE REMOTE! I did lose and now I have to order it direct from the company. The remote has buttons to do things that can not be accessed any other way.

I do not think this an A rated DVD player. I mean,...

Pros: Excellent Value, Unsurpassed Audio/Video
Cons: Little Noisy, Junky Controller

I bought the Pioneer DV-525 after reading some excellent reviews of it, and I must agree, it is an excellent unit. For the cost, it is a steal, as it has audio and video quality easily equal to that of the most expensive, top of the line models. There...

Pros: Good features for the price
Cons: changing from cable to DVD requires multiple remotes

The Pioneer models have shown good features for their price range; this DVD player has been the only one I had found in this price range that will play CD-R's as well as DVDs and Video CDs. There has been no problems with DVDs playing on this unit; even...

Pros: sound, quality and price
Cons: Noisy machine

I was going to purchase the Sony DV330 when I looked at the specs on the Pioneer. This had couple of features the first was dynamic range for sound. You could compress the sound so that you don't have to turn up the volume when someone is whispering and...

Pros: Excellent price and performance
Cons: Stripped down version of the DV-414

The DV-525 replaced the DV-414 recently. While the DV-525 is still a great player, pick up a DV-414 instead if you can. First, the DV-414 has been discontinued, of course, so you should be able to find some deals on it. Second, it is actually the...

Pros: The most bang for your buck
Cons: Freeze frame fast forward

I recently purchased the Pioneer DV-525 and I am very satisfied with the choice that I made. For the price I paid (under $275) it has everything that I need in a dvd player. I feel that if you are not planning to use all the technical features that the...

Pros: Free DVD!
Cons: Well, it's Pokemon.

This offer has been going on for a while now, but I like to keep people up on current DVD rebates/offers, so I'll mention it here for those that don't know yet...

Most of the current DV-525 players come with the Pokemon Volume 1, "I...

Pros: Light weight, lots of features, can save settings and last viewed positions of up to 15 DVDs
Cons: Large, bulky body for the weight, ugly chassis and remote.

This is my third DVD player. My first one was an RCA
and it lasted about 7 months and then started telling
me my own DVDs were incompatible...I called up the
Good Guys (that's where I bought it from) and they told
me since it was past...

Pros: Awesome sound and picture quality
Cons: none

When Pioneer came out with the DV-414, it was great among affordable players, it even won reviews from home theatre magazines, and from consumer people looking for DVD for the buck. The new DV525 is an excellent replacement, it added a quick start drive,...

Pros: Can play through any disk,Excellent audio and video
Cons: plain looking but so what.

WOW!! This is on amazing dvd player.First of all,I have Tried Units From Sony,Toshiba,Jvc,Aiwa, all went back to the store for one reason or another,some of them had the dreaded lip sync problem,others had distorted pixelization and unwanted video...

Pros: Great thing to buy if you like quality
Cons: Could look better

After a month of thinking I bought Pioneer DV-525. Everybody was telling me :why do you have to spend extra money on something that you already have (VCR). Well, I tell you this: First of all - quality. Do you, people, go to the movies? I do, when I get...

Pros: Both coaxial and optical audio jacks
Cons: No headphone jacks

Pioneer has long been the leading force behind laser discs and is now a strong contender in DVD players. The DV-525's picture quality is whistle clean and palpable, in part due to Pioneer's own Twin Wave Laser and Viter-Bi RF Decoding Process that reads...
