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!

Hi, I own a Pioneer DV09 and would not trade it for anything. The picture quality is better than anything I have seen out there. It sounds like the repair made on your unit was not done properly. These units are built to really last and are worth repairing and aren't throwaways like 80%of the stuff out there. Hope this helps, goodluck.
