But using this DVD player with the rest of my system, my neighbors threaten to file a noise complaint to the police unless I let them watch movies in my living room for free. Here are some things you should know when setting this DVD player up with your amp, TV, speakers, etc.** Video Output ** This model also has three video outputs: Video output jack, S-video jack, and component video out jack. Of course you need three different types of wires for each one. Only the cord for the video output jack comes with the DVD. I recommend you buy Monster Cables for the component video out jack (relatively expensive, but worth it). You can definitely see the improvement in the picture quality. If you do go this route, then you must have a TV with component video in. Also, you must change the DVD player's settings (see pg. 42 in the instructions).

I have a Pioneer laser and it's great, and this Pioneer DVD player is just as great - if not better. This player has performed beautifully - no sound trouble, no picture trouble, easy to follow instructions - I could go on and on.

I doubt you could get the name, quality, and ease of this player from some other company without spending more. That's not necessary! This player is priced great and is worth it!

It's great, and has the...Read more 24 of 24 people found the following review helpful: By A Customer This review is from: Pioneer DV-606D DVD Player (Electronics) I purchased this unit last year when it first came out. It has so many innovative features that until this year were only found on units costing hundreds more. Unit has Built-In Dolby Digital decoder (You must have a 5.1 Receiver to take atvantage of this feature)as well as regular Audio Jacks for Standard Dolby Pro Logic receivers. Some people mistakingly think that unit has a DTS decoder but it does not. It is DTS compatable which means that if you have a DVD with DTS sound it will play it in a standard way (This is no big deal for now believe me. It has a full compliment of inputs and outputs including Component Video (Color Stream) as well as S Video and Composite (Regular). It has an excellent full featured DVD only remote (Oh Well). |
