Pioneer DV-45A HELP"""

I just read a review on keohi Aug\01
Pscan dvd shootout. Don Munsil
this guy does not favor these players
at all. he did not review the model in
question but the review does spook the
hell out me, he did not like the DV-37
I am about to upgrade to a new player
and this was one of the choices i picked
i currently have the pioneer DV-444 and
it served me well, now that i had my
elite 610HD set isf calibrated i wan't
a ref dvd player to get the most out it
if you agree with Don, can you point me
in the right direction as far as a good ref dvd player. the store i deal with has
integra pioneer sony.

This player was extremely well reviewed in Sound & Vision, May 2002.

Since you are in Canada, see the following link

"Good" DVD Player

You may wish to get in touch with "human" & "Tdog" to discuss this unit & possibly to get two or three...

bull

That guy has been down on Pioneer from the start. You can't beat the Pioneer Elite series. I love my DV45A. Don't be swayed by reviews from someone who gets paid to do it. You never know the situation. Take reviews from people you know and in this forum. I have only been here a few weeks but this is a great board and I am glad I found it.....

Thanks IO. No i am not conviced this guys
reviews are creditable, and why he hate's pioneer who knows.
but i just wanted input from you guys
that have this dvd player, if there is
problems with the dv45a i think the word
would have gottin out here. all i heard
was good stuff. Sooo i now own one and
i love it, I had the DV-444 before and
never had any problems exept it would
not play the movie jeepers creepers.
the dv45a dvd play back is amazing and it can play SACD as well, it has no problems with Pscan that don claims it
has and where the F**k is this chroma
bug he talks about.
