Pioneer DV-525 DVD Player

Pros: Picture and Sound Quality are Superb
Cons: Can hear the disk over quiet moments in the movie

I acquired the Pioneer DV-525 about 4 weeks ago. The very first movie I put in Blew my mind. The water was so real i could have jumped into the screen. Now I have a 61' TV, so every imperfection is magnified. I watched several movies with it attached...

Pros: digital audio & component video outputs
Cons: no zoom

I have owned the DV-525 for about 3 months and haven't had one problem. I rent DVD's from Netflix.com and watch nearly one movie every night. Every DVD I've inserted has played flawlessly, including VCD and CDR! This player includes component outputs so...

Pros: Digital quality
Cons: Not built to last

My husband and I bought the Pioneer DV-525 as a before Christmas present for ourselves. We have been wanting one ever since they came out. We hooked it up the same night we got it, and rented a movie to watch. The picture was incredible and with the...

Pros: Poineer
Cons: Great for getting started

I have purched a Poineer DV-525 DVD/CD player. I love the great sound. You simply won't find a better performing player for the price. I place the DVD in the tray and the quick start drive gets the movie on screen in a matter of seconds. I...

Pros: Easy to use, great clarity
Cons: Needs and RF Modulator

Pioneer has done it again! A wonderful DVD player placed in a nice package with all the features most of us would want. I purchased this model DVD player for my parents for Christmas of 1999. This player will offer them everything they would want and...

Pros: price, reliability
Cons: single disk system

Good:
Pioneer has done it!!! The most important aspect of any DVD player is whether or not it will play the disk flawlessly (picture looks great and the lips move at the same time as the audio exits the speakers). This player meets and exceeds...

Pros: Ease of use
Cons: doesn't come with optical cables

I bought this DVD as a gift. I found it at Best Buy for $299, plus a $50 rebate. You also get 5 free movies and 16 free Blockbuster rentals with the purchase. It has optical output (which really makes a difference) and plenty of options.

Pros: Reliable player, lots of features, great price
Cons: Fast-forward and rewind jumpy; noisy mechanism

If you don't have more than $500 to spend on a Sony with all the bells and whistles, this is the DVD to have. It's reliable, and doesn't suffer from the lip-syncing or freezing difficulties that plague many players, particularly on ultra-advanced titles...

Pros: Video/Audio quality, lightweight, inexpensive, plays Audio-CD/CDR/CDRW/VCD/SVCD!
Cons: Unintuitive Remote, Subtitles aren't "pretty"

Contains RCA/composite-out, S-video out, AND Component Video-out.

Video & Audio quality is great, Remote is severely lacking in tactile feel (being able to control without looking at it).

This is our 2nd DVD player. First was 1st...

Pros: Features for the price
Cons: noise during menu and first 10 minutes of the movie.

I had an apex for a month, but the thing was so flaky I took it back, despite the Macrovision and region defeats.
The DV-525 is a very nice unit for the price ($212 at Sears, as Best Buy was out of inventory - as usual).
The video,...

Pros: The sound quality
Cons: Does not have a backlit remote control

It is good to hear that people in the USA also know a good product when they see one! Here in Toledo I bought a Samsung DVD-Player and after about a year it let me down BIG time After months of browsing I stumbled apon the PIONEER DV525. I'm a Pioneer...

Pros: dolby digital surround sound, many options
Cons: none so far

We finally decided on getting a DVD player. We were going to get an off brand so it would be cheaper but decided on Pioneer because we have a Pioneer receiver. We absolutly love it!!! It is very up to date and the fact that I know longer have to...

Pros: Picture quality
Cons: none

Boy When I bought this DVD player for my dad for his birthday, I did not know how nice it was.. (But it sure made me feel good). For the price the quality of the picture was great. I rented the wizard of oz. I could see every thing so clear I really...

Pros: plays CD-R, CD-RW, great picture
Cons: a little noisy start-up.

I work for a retailer so I am able to test out all the different models listed above. And after putting them all thru the same tests I chose the Pioneer as my DVD player of choice for under $250. The Toshiba seems to be just as good but I like the fact...

Pros: all pros
Cons: no cons

Awesome DVD player!! Has absolutely no problem playing any DVD. IT IS A PIONEER, Looks very clean. It is DTS and Dolby Digital with Fiber Optic out.IF IT DOESN'T SAY DTS AND DOLBY DIGITAL, DON'T BUY IT. You will have to buy a new one then shortly, and...
