Pioneer Tries A More Affordable Hybrid - But Is the Savings Worth The Sacrifice?

bynick1326 Apr 16, 2003

Pros Versatile, slightly less expensive, good quality- a better than-utility hybrid
Cons Marginal difference between 47Ai and 45A models, read review for details
Recommended it? Yes

Yep, it's official- the Hybrid market is on fire. "Hybrid" you ask? The term "Hybrid Player" is becoming an industry staple - with the ongoing war between DVD-A and SACD, there's been an ever-increasing demand for players to are compatible with both -- Yet again, adding to the notion that both SACD...

Pros Sound quality, picture quality, easy to set up and use.
Cons Not built like a tank.
Recommended it? Yes

Several years ago, I bought one of Pioneer's first DVD players (DVD-414) when I was building my home theater. While not top-of-the-line by any means this player served me well. The main problem I had with this entry-level player was sound quality. I am a classical music lover, and this player did... Read full review »

Pros Great features, smooth sound.
Cons Reliability may not be the best.
Recommended it? Yes

The Pioneer Elite DV-45a is really quite a remarkable machine. It not only plays video DVD's, but also SACD's in stereo and multi-channel, as well as DVD-Audio discs, as well as regular CD's. Now there are numerous less expensive players that do the same thing, but Pioneer is the only player I... Read full review »

A Swiss Army Knife for your home theater!

Pros The only disk this player won't play is frisbee!
Cons Setup is lengthy, but worth it.
Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased my second Pioneer Elite DV-45A. I bought one for my parents for Christmas and I liked it so much I went and bought me one soon after.

This machine could possibly do your laundry with a small upgrade that Pioneer needs to get started on. Hint! It will play just about... Read full review »

Excellent for DVD-Need to tweak for SACD and DVD-A

bypetergaryr Jul 28, 2004

Pros Great progressive scan picture and all in one playback of SACD and DVD-A
Cons Requires you to re-configure your bass management before it shows its full potential
Recommended it? Yes

Pioneer DV45A

For better or worse, there are two competing multichannel audio formats being marketed: DVD-A and SACD. For us, the consumer, that means we have to buy either 2 DVD players or a "Universal" player such as the Pioneer Elite DV45A. More about that in a minute.

SUPERB VERSATILITY

bybettycane Dec 30, 2002
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Has all latest features. Plays SACD's, DVDS AND DVD-Audio VERY WELL.
Cons Yeah, I guess a $1100 Sony MIGHT sound a bit better on SACDs.
Recommended it? Yes

My husband gave me this player for Christmas. We were both WOWED by the sound and picture quality. You will NEVER want to go back to two-channel CD sound after you have heard 5.1 SACDs and DVD-As on this player! A great price for a great DVD player that does everything well! I've heard that some of... Read full review »

Pros None submitted
Cons None submitted
Recommended it? Yes

This player blew me away right out of the box.... silky smooth but still retaining all the detail and a magnificent soundstage. My JVC XV-D723 is strident and a bit harsh by comparison. Plays everything but HDCD's...oh well the main CD playback is something to behold and will certainly give players... Read full review »
