I know the 525v us suypposed to be the sucessor to the 414. or at least that is what I had thought until visiting the pioneeer web site. It still lists the the 414 and it has a more expentsive retail price than the 525. Is the 525 better and cheaper? Or just cheaper and not as good. Also, can anyone tell me if the 525's S2 video out will work with my S video in? Thanks much, phil.
hello phil,i have the 525 and i was considering getting the 414 before the 525 came out. yes, it is the successor. pioneer needs to update their site. i don't know why the 414 would cost more, though i have noticed that too.
the only differences besides slight cosmetic chages are the elimination of a few features. the 525 doesn't have the blue light on the front above the drawer, and it also doesn't have a button to turn off the display. also, i think it will only remember 15 disc settings as opposed to 30 for the 414. all very minor changes. as far as i know, video and sound quality are supposed to be identical. still has the 96/24 DAC's and will still output full 96/24 from the digital outs.
i don't know what "s2 video" is, but i can tell you that i am running mine using the s-video out straight to the tv and it looks great!
hope this helps you out. FWIW, i am completely satisfied with my 525 and have not had a single problem, not even the dreaded audio sync problems. was also nice to get 8 free rentals at netflix, 13 free rentals from blockbuster, and 5 free movies! that pays for half the player.
regards,
richard h
