Re: Pioneer DV-414. Is this a good DVD Player?

Hello once again.

I think I have now figured out my dilemna with the 5.1 -vs- 2 channel output. The difference being the quality of the audio recording encoded on the disk itself, as opposed to anything my system might have to do with it. I have since played a few DVD's that _do_ show 5.1 as the audio format.

I guess the last major question I have regarding DVD players is whether or not I'm stuck with my single RCA composite cable video link, as opposed to S-video. My TV only has coax and straight RCA video in inputs. Am I loing a lot of video quality because of this, and if so, is there anything I can do to improve it, short of buying a new TV?

Thanks again for your help, and I hope you're'll having a great weekend.

Dave

Oh, one thing, I checked the date on the back of my 414, and saw that it said September, 1998. So you think I might run into problems down the line due to the age, and lack of software updates on this machine, or should I not worry about it? thnks agn!
