broken in 14 months

This is a fine player--when it played. Unfortunately it began skipping after 14 months...not what we expect in an item allegedly near the top of Pioneer's consumer product line. My entire system is pioner from the Elite projection T.V. to the...

A DVD player that plays almost any DVD's

It's an excellent DVD player I must say. My husband and I did extensive research on DVD players before buying this one, last summer. We were told Pioneer players have reputation for crisp picture which is true. Audio is good. For someone who never...

The minute they come back in stock... buy it.

I have read some of the reviews on this player and I have to agree, it is a little flimsy looking... But I don't stare at the player, I watch the movie! No problems since I took it out of the box. I have played at least 40 DVD's so far (and several at...

Another great Pioneer product

 

I've been a follower of Pioneer since my first CD player purchase 10 years ago. I bought it off the shelf as the demo, and never had a single problem with it. Since then, I've filtered out all other brands of electronic audio equipment until I have...

Looks great, ease of use, good for the money

My Film Listserv Recommended This Player

I kept this film listserv recommendation in my file folder and as my birthday approached, I pulled it out and asked for it as my Birthday gift. My listserv was right. It is an excellent product. It plays beautifully and has never given us a moment's...

A superb DVD Player

This is my first DVD player, and I've now had my unit since December of 2000-just before Christmas. I'm using it in conjunction with a Denon 775RD receiver and a Yamaha DSP-E492 Surround unit. The Yamaha delivers only Dolby Prologic decoding, so, in...

Major Disappointment

 

Major Disappointment

I bought a Pioneer DV626D based on the high praise I have read about the machine. I have to say that during it's short life I was pleased with the performance, however, after about ten hours of use it decided to no longer open the disc drawer - which...

Somewhat disappointed

I've had this DVD player for a couple months now after purchasing it based upon the features and reviews. While I'm impressed by the number of jacks this player has, I think this was not the best choice for me. First, I watch a lot of subtitled DVDs,...

DVD Player plays everything with Great Picture and Sound

I previously owned a JVC XB-701 DVD player which I had numerous problems with. I purchased the 626 as a replacement and I am very pleased. The first thing I noticed about the Pioneer as compared to the JVC was a much finer picture as well as enhanced...

Pioneering Great DVD Technology

 

Let me just say that although this is the best DVD player I've seen so far, I've only owned 2. And that included this one. :) But that doesn't mean it's great. My first DVD player was a cheap Sanyo that was on as a WalMart special. Although it seemed...

Great picture quality

Cheap looking

Product Specifications

Pioneer has long been a leader in digital technologies, and the DV626D represents one of their finest productions. With its advanced Advanced Digital Video Noise Reduction with Gamma Correction, Twin-Wave Laser Pick-up, and built-in Dolby Digital and DTS processors, this DVD player scales new heights of video purity, color accuracy, and sonic fidelity. Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder allows you to experience the thrills of today's stunning Hollywood soundtracks right in your family room. Built-in DTS Decoder allows you to decode the fantastic sonic performance of DTS without connecting the player to a DTS-capable A/V receiver. The DV-626D is equipped with Twin-Wave Laser Pickup with a 650nm laser diode for playing DVDs and 780nm diode for playing CDs, Video CDs and CD-Rs. Advanced Digital Video Noise Reduction with Gamma Correction Restores the impact of images from film sources by compensating for the degradation in image quality that normally occurs in the film-to-video transfer process, and a high-quality video encoder allows viewers to tailor picture characteristics to their tastes. Viterbi RF Decoding Process applies a sophisticated parametric statistical analysis to enhance correction of disc data errors caused by fingerprints, dust, and warping, thereby reducing the error rate considerably. 10-bit Video D/A Converter delivers faster video signal processing than conventional methods, minimizing digital artifacts for enhanced digital video quality. Multiple Viewing Angle Capability gives you the ability to select viewing from various camera angles on DVDs encoded with the feature. Currently it is seen mostly on informational productions. DVD A-B Repeat allows you to program a "start" and "end" to a DVD segment that you choose, and continuously repeat as you determine. It's great for trying to learn those old Clapton licks, or using with instructional videos.
