Pioneer DV-588A-S Slim Progressive Scan DVD Player
Great Player
I bought this player after my Panasonic DVD-RV31 player died w/an H02 error. I was bummed at first because I'd had the Panasonic for a while and it always played everything I fed it and the picture quality was great. But when I got the DV-588A I was very surprised at how much better the picture was and I don't have a progressive scan TV. The sound was better on the DV-588A too. I haven't played many different formats on it but so far it's handled all DVDs, CDs, VCDs, DVD-Rs and DVD+R DLs with no problem. I like that it can handle DVDA & SACD. The only problem I have with this player is the tray not quite opening all the way and it takes a few seconds to boot up. The remote lacks backlighting and feels cheap but I use a universal remote so that's not an issue.
