In Reply to: Pioneer DV-414. Is this a good DVD Player? posted by Dave Z on July 29, 1999 at 09:52:09:
I purchased the DV-414 in November 1998, and have no problem with it. It is OK as a plain CD player, but the picture quality with this machine blows away the laserdiscs that I have. I have never tried the regular RCA video output on the DV-414, but the S-Video performance is excellent.As for the price you paid, I've seen lower prices on this player. This is the lower end of the DVD player price range, as of right now. I've seen players selling at about $250.00, but those are the Samsung and Zenith models. No offense to people who own Samsung/Zenith machines, but I rather pay a little more for a Pioneer.
As for Dolby Digital 5.1.....think of it as an encoding system(it is actually an encoding system). The producer of the DVD can chose to use any combination of the 5.1 format. Check out the back of the packaging next time and you can see sometimes the DVD can say Dolby Digital and in MONO!!
