I also agreed with Avguygeorge on picture quality. A cheap Samsung DVD HD850 using HDMI is a big improvement over the DV-09 on picture quality. Now using the DV-09 as a transport for CD playback is where the DV-09 clearly shines and trounces the Samsung or for that matter any cheap player. No Contest!
What do I do with my Pioneer DV-09 DVD Player?
I have an old DV-09 DVD Player (paid $1500 back in the day) and have already spent $250 to have the disc mechanism (tray) replaced and it's broken again - not playing DVDs correctly.
I have just bought a $59 Toshiba DVD player with progressive scan and all the right connections (s-Video, etc.). Is the $59 and 4 pound DVD player as good if not better than the $1500 and 25 pound DV-09 or not? I have a super Meridian sound processor as well. The DV-09 has been broken for about 6 months now so I'm not quite sure if the Toshiba picture quality is as good as the old DV-09 because I kind of forget how good the DV-09 quality was.
Can anyone explain the pros and cons of just keeping the Toshiba or paying to get the Pioneer fixed again?
Thanks!
