Which is apparently discontinued - and is it as good?
Follow Ups:
I just saw an add in one of the brick & mortar joints, I think 6th Ave, for the DV-525. All they want is $195. Good luck. BTW, the 525 plays SVCD's if you're into backing up VCR tapes thru you're PC to VCD's, or the better resolution SVCD's.
I've been told that the 333 is essentially identical in performance, but that it is physically more difficult to modify due to changes in board placement.Might make looking for a 525 even more worthwhile.

Bob,
The replacement for the 525 is the DV 333. The 525 is still available, by the way -- online for $249, or possibly $229(or so), if you scout around.The 333 is pretty much the 525, with some updated features: faster disc loading, instant resume (when you press stop, take a break..... and, hit PLAY again, it jumps you right back to the same spot you stopped. Nice feature, for sure. No "last memo" like the earlier DV 414. And no chapter searching in order to find your stopping point. And.... a much better setup/navigation menu.
It is a very worthy entry level player for sure. For $249, it is an excellent choice with even greater potential if you opt to modify the unit---- done by Dan Wright over at the Digital board. Dan modified my 414 and turned it into a great player--- greatly improved component (or S-video if you choose) video out and an very impressive digital coax upgrade. Definately worth a look if you find the 525 at a good price. Dan actually offers modified 525's at a very fair price if you are really looking to get into a Pioneer. Search the Digital board and reach out to him if interested.
