Advantages: Fantastic audio/AV Delivery
Disadvantages: Who cares

I have enjoyed the old Pioneer DV 626D for many years but up dated my TV to Samsung 1080 capability so invested in new 600av. Wow what a change! This is the best money I have ever spent on AV. I have an old Yamaha DSP2 Amp and B&W surround speakers. Now they dance to both audio and DvD. I played Harry Potter 3 on old system then on new. The difference is mind blowing! Then put on a classical cd and sit back and wonder what you have been missing. ...
...systems and would melt to hear what this system can deliver. Hey buttons are small it needs a bit of time to warm, up and do not rely on display for info but put your favourite DVd or CD on and sit back and enjoy. You will not be dissapointed!!. ... Read review

Advantages: Stylish, good performance, relatively cheap
Disadvantages: no dolby surround

This is a good, satisfactory dvd player such as you would want for a low price. It's good for the price that it is at so you shouldn't be expecting the world at this price. It's a solid, stylish player that i think does look very good indeed and has the usual list of playable formats e.g. DVD/DVD-R/DVD-RW**/DVD+R, etc. It also plays CDs, VCDs, SVCDs and i can't find fault with any of its functions - it is a very functionable little box. DivX® compatible, ...
...It has virtual surround and this works very well with a few speakers and a subwoofer. It has several functions for convenience that you would expect such as Photo + Music Mix (JPEG Slideshow with Music); advanced GUI; a disc navigator for easy browsing; last (position) memory: 5 (DVD)/1 (VCD); resume function, screen saver, auto power off. And i could go on and on listing all the functions available. Yet i'll leave it that this is a solid performer ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent quality for a great price
Disadvantages: Nothing for a lower budget player

...only a couple of minutes to setup with a scart lead and a very user-friendly on screen menu-setup system. The remote control is easy to use and relatively uncluttered and a very good size - batteries are included. The machine is very quiet which was surprising because most lower-budget DVD players are often quite noisy when they are playing making whirring and vibrating noises. As for picture quality it is superb and I have never had a DVD jump ... Read review

Advantages: high HDMI, Compatibility, design
Disadvantages: Picture quality could be more resolute

...I got drawn towards the Pioneer DV-490V-K, as soon as the sales assistant saw I had a mild interest she homed in on me and from that point I knew I didn't have a chance. I ended up buying the DVD player for £159.99. There are some technical terms I want to explain to you now because I may use them in the item's description. UPCONVERSION; now this is when a smaller resolution signal, that comes from the in-put cable, is transferred into a television; ...
...produced from the HDMI, the Pioneer DV-490V-K manufacturers promised that its Upconversion technology would provide its purchasers with incredible picture resolution (especially on High definition Televisions). I am really unsatisfied with this aspect of the DV-490V-K. I am pleased with the number of features available on the DVD player, and when comparing expenses the Pioneer DV-490V-K would appear to be the most extensive in its price range. VALUE ...
