Pioneer DV-525 DVD Player

Pros: Easy to use, lots of features
Cons: not a changer = 1 DVD at a time

From the first day I hooked up my Pioneer DV-525, movies have come
alive in my house. You simply won't find a better-performing player
for price. The information page from DealTime could be in need of
updating because you will find...

Pros: Good quality picture, good price
Cons: complicated remote control

This was my first experience of buying a DVD, and I did it with no product information such as what can be found on this site. As it turned out, I got lucky. This player has a very good picture quality with many options on the remote from view...

Pros: Image Quality, Price, Durability
Cons: none

I bought this awhile ago and am stilled amazed that is has stood the test of time. This is very much a no-frills entry level DVD player, but what is does, it does well. It has all the standard features of most DVD players in it's class and it is still...

Pros: good price, lots of features
Cons: still pricey compaired to VCRs

I picked up this DVD player about 4 months ago because my brother has a DVD in his laptop. I love the quality of the pictures and the fact that I am not going to have to go out and replace my movies anytime soon because the tape got eaten or stretched...

Pros: CD-RW/CD-R read ability, Dolby Digital and DTS output (optical), component video, VCD capability
Cons: Bad remote design, lack of smoother fast fwd/rwd

This is my first DVD excursion, and I entered the purchase somewhat apprehensively due to my early adoptation of the DVD standard. I was afraid of the VHS/BETA problem. HOWEVER, this player has dispelled any concerns by simply being AMAZING! The player...

Pros: Great quality DVD
Cons: There are cheaper models with equal quality.

......PLEASE EXCUSE THE PARAGRAPHS, I'M HAVING TROUBLE WHEN I SUBMIT THE REVIEW...... We made the decision a month or so ago to purchase a second DVD player for the other television set. Well we were perfectly happy with our $175 GE model in our...

Pros: Price
Cons: Quality and Picky about DVDs

We have had this player for over a year. I have mixed feelings about it. The first one shipped to us by Crutchfield was bad out of the box. It had parts loose inside. I don't know whose fault that was, but having it break before it was out of the box...

Pros: excellent features
Cons: none

I purchased my Pioneer DVD player about 3 months ago and have been using it non-stop. I have never had any problems with it and the features are great. The sound quality is excellent and so is the video quality. It has all of the basic features for a...

Pros: Good Value and support
Cons: Noisy disc loading and small remote

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing a DVD player. There have been
many problems up to this point with lip sync during playback. It seems
this model Pioneer has finally solved them.
Don't let the light weight of this player fool...

Pros: Price, picture clarity, ease of use
Cons: remote must be pointed directly at unit, missing manual

The estimated price shows $425, but I got mine on sale for $180, so the price is definitely good for a new DVD player. Mine didn't have a manual in the box, but setup was easy enough and the remote is fairly easy to use. I have long been a fan of...

Pros: VCD compatibility, simple operation, low price
Cons: No Dolby output

To be honest, when I bought the DV525, I needed a VCD player, not a DVD player, and that limited my choice to either the Panasonic A120 or the Pioneer DV525 (none of the other low-priced DVD players play VCD's), and I had picked the Pioneer due to the...

Pros: Low price for features; DTS
Cons: Lack of Zoom feature

After researching DVD players, I came to the conclusion that this was the best player on the market for under $300. I purchased it online and was quite happy with the results. It has DTS technology with optical & coaxial outputs for use in a...

Pros: Audio/video performance, price
Cons: FF/Rev scan, remote control

After doing extensive research both online and off, I decided on the Pioneer DV-525. The combination of price and performance puts it at the top of my list.

I have had the DV-525 for about six months now, and after playing hundreds of DVDs, I...

Pros: Price/performance
Cons: flimsy loading tray

I got this DVD player for only $200 and think it is a tremendous deal. Very easy to use, great features, great quality. You can't go wrong. Picture quality rivals the Sony DVPS-7000 my dad has. Setup was a breeze, and the remote is configured...

Pros: Easy Navigation
Cons: None

I bought the Pioneer DVD 525 for under 300.00 and it has got the best sound and picture Quality I have ever encountered. I was expecting good but this terrific, I will never go back to VHS. This is definatley worth every penny I spent on it and more....
