The ONLY game in town

 

The ONLY game in town

My husband had an old pioneer laserdisc player that finally gave up the ghost. I bought him this for his birthday and he is thrilled! The unit is very bulky and is noisy as well but plays beautifully! It handles both laserdisc and dvds. If you still...

I was around at the beginning of Laserdisc and have always owned a player. Not many people realize that Laserdisc is nearly equivalent to DVD technology - Laserdisc has up to 425 lines of horizontal resolution and DVD has 500 lines. There are also DTS...

Pioneer Crafting at its Best

 

DTS decoding for both laserdiscs and DVDs. Component video output.

The price is the only con. But come on, its a laserdisc player.

Product Specifications

Pioneer Electronics, the acknowledged leader in optical disc technology, introduces a third generation DVD/LD player - DVL-919, which proves to be the perfect transition product for movie enthusiasts everywhere. The DVL-919's new video circuitry, boasts improved video performance for DVD, due to a 10-bit video processing LSI (Large Scale Integrated Circuit). The DVD format's 8-Bit video information is requantized into 10 bits for more accurate processing - resulting in fewer digital artifacts. This Pioneer-developed video LSI combines, on a single chip, the MPEG2 decoder, 10-bit video processor, 10-bit DAC, NTSC encoder and audio decoder. Finally, to further the video clarity, the DVL-919 also features component video outputs, which provide the purest form of video available in any consumer video product to date. To compensate for physical flaws in the software, such as disc flatness and hole centering, Pioneer has developed a "ViterBi" decoding circuit. This proprietary circuit enables reading accuracy to be improved by as much as 100 times. As further enhancement to the home theater experience, the DVL-919 utilizes a Dolby Laboratories approved technology developed by SRS called TruSurround (Virtual Dolby Surround). With TruSurround technology, realistic 3D sound imaging is created from only two loudspeakers, enabling specific sounds to appear to come from any point surrounding a listener. The DVL-919 offers superior audio performance, with the addition of both coaxial and optical Dolby Digital/DTS audio outputs, providing complete compatibility with all AC-3/DTS multi-channel decoding software and equipment. For the highest quality playback, the DVL-919 provides ultra-high audio quality from a 24-bit digital-to-analog conversion system capable of decoding DVD stereo audio tracks using high sampling rates up to 96 kHz. The DVL-919 also employs Pioneer's built-in Hi-Bit processor to deliver improved signal resolution and extremely low noise from standard 16-bit audio CDs.
