"Great price for the number of features" on by Sanford12
Pros: Sounds excellent and versatile even plays DVD+Rs
Cons: looks a little cheesey
Summary: For the money you can't beat this DVD player.
I couldn't believe that it would sound better than my Pioneer DV-414 but it does and if your ready to make the leap to SACD they will blow you away. They are that much better than a normal CD.

I have recently upgrades my Pioneer Reciever<br>to an vsx ax4 avi( it is the Elite VSX-74txvi in the US) and I was running a Pananasic dvd s-27 player.<br>I upgraded this to the dv 686-a-s (which is the dv -588-s in the US).<br>Man did I get a huge surprise.<br>I put on the movie "Stealth" (which I use as a reference when I tweek my surround settings on my receiver.)<br>The sound coming out of my Accusound Delta's blew me away. It was simply awesome.<br>The sound was very crisp as if you were there.and the "fly over" scenes nearly had me ducking.<br>I couldn't believe the difference in quality<br>when comparing it to the Panasonic DvD player I was using before.<br>The sound was at par with my friends very expensive Denon DVD setup. He actually commented that it even sounded better than his system. (He has a Denon 3806 a/v receiver)<br>I then put on PinK Floyds Darkside of the Moon SACD in 5.1 ch. Man I was gob smacked.<br>The clarity of the sound coming from the instruments was as if you were there.<br>I have newver heard music like that before.<br>I recommend this DVD player to everyone. I guarantee you will not be dissapointed.<br>Good Work Pioneer.<br>PS.. I was originally in the market for a DVD upscaler.<br>I was so close in purchasing the Sony DVP-Ns92v however after trialing it by viewing an upscaled movie on my Hitachi PJtx100 High Definition Projector I could not see any significant improvement of the Picture I was getting with the Panasonic- so take it from me don't waste your money)
