In Reply to: Pioneer DV-09 vs. DV-37 for interlaced video & CD playback posted by crobs on February 22, 2002 at 17:42:04:

I've owned a Pioneer Elite DV-09 for about a year, and have had problems with playback of 2 releases: "Dr. Zhigavo", and "Les Miserables, Concert Version". The playback problems include pixelization, audio dropout and frames freezing. Theses occur on different copies of each release, but, not alway in the same location. Twice, the unit has been sent to an authorized repair center (United Radio in Syrcacue, NY) and the laser pickup was replaced each time, but this has not corrected the problems with these 2 realeases. There is no software upgrade for the DV-09.

Has anyone else had similar problems with these, or, with any other DVD's? Thanks.
