In the final analysis, the only serious knock against DV-444 is the lack of 3:2 pull-down circuitry. True, this player doesn't offer the advanced audio features of Toshiba's and nor is it as inexpensive as Zenith's budget progressive-scan player. But there are enough positives here to recommend this deck to users who own HDTVs that offer 3:2 pull-down and who don't need DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD support.
Editor's note: If you're lacking a proper home-theater setup, the DV-444 also comes bundled within Pioneer's highly rated home-theater-in-a-box kit.
