Pioneer DV525 DVD Player
Solid Performer
Home video will never be the same.  Pioneer delivers a great unit that features stunning video and sound quality.  Imagine watching a concert on DVD and being able to see all the fine hairs on the performers arms, yes I've experienced it (it was almost creepy).  Home video sound hasn't been  this good before either, the player delivers the 5.1 audio without fault to  my Dolby Digital reciever (Yamaha).  With alot of the manifactures  including built it Dolby Digital decoders in the DVD players, it's nice to  see that Pioneer has opted to let the 5.1 sound decoding be done by that of  the reciever (WHERE IT BELONGS).  My only complaints are that the display  is somewhat bright, you can turn it off, but their are times when it might  be nice to just be able to dim it.  My other complaint is that the remote  is somewhat small and the buttons are all similar in size (they needed to  make some larger or changed their shape), and it needed to have some  backlighting or glow in the dark buttons.  However it is my belief that the  size or shape of the remote shouldn't be what the player is judged on, it  should be the player itself.  Happy Viewing.
