Pioneer DV-626D DVD Player
Awesome DVD Player!
I received the Pioneer DV-626D as a gift.  Everything about it is absolutely outstanding.  It plays the Matrix (for instance) with no frame loss or distortion as I've seen on some of my friend's &quot;cheaper&quot; players. <br />Setup was a breeze (I'm not an expert) and I was especially impressed by the almost &quot;over-kill&quot; jack-wise on the back panel.  I have a Panasonic TV and a Yamaha receiver/speakers/HT  and I've had no compatibility problems.  <br />If I had to say anything negative, it would be on the remote controller.  It is rather bulky and cumbersome.  Even so, for me it is only a marginal negative because I use the &quot;universal&quot; remote that came with my Yamaha receiver (that controls four of my audio appliances and is about one-third the size of the Pioneer! :-)<br />Without doubt, at the time of this writing, IMHO this is the best DVD player in Amazon's catalog.
