Comments about Pioneer Pioneer Elite Black 1080p Upconversion DVD Player:
When I sought a "universal" DVD player that could play DVD-Audio and Super Audio CDs, as well as upconvert video, I went no further than this model. The DV-49AV has just about everything I looked for--DVD-Audio and SACD transmission over HDMI is incredible, and the video upconversion makes my regular DVDs look almost as good as Blu-ray. Setup wasn't much of a chore, since the player's menus and the instructions are reasonably easy to understand. The USB port is a nice addition for bringing over pictures and some Windows Media files. Perfect for those who want these features, and then some, in a sleek, handsome package. It may well be the last regular DVD player you may ever need, at least for many years.
Delivery of the player was quite rapid--I got it in maybe three or four days of placing my order. The outer box was slightly bruised in one place, but the inner box and the hardware were intact.
