This forum actually isn't the right forum for your question. You're asking about a DVD video player; whereas this forum is for DVD-Audio, the (now dead) specialty audio format. The DV-09 is not compatible with DVD-Audio.

But anyway - the DV-09 was an impressive DVD video player in its day, but that was nearly 10 years ago (released in 1999). It's missing many features and capabilities that have come to be considered "standard" since then. These players were decent CD players, but not spectacular.

To me, $400 seems like a lot of money for for what you'd get.

"... However, I am having ongoing problems with this unit stopping in the middle of movies and it's slow chapter searching that sometimes locks right up. I have sent it to Pioneer who claimed that it was just dirty DVDs. However the service tech at Audio Warehouse found the same problems on multiple DVDs.""

Thanks, I'll post in the Digital forum.

And yes, I won't be paying $400, but that does seem like a really solid player, if just for the transport

  FYI, the transport used in all of the concurrent Pioneers were the same, regardless of price. The entry level machine had the exact same transport as the DV-09. The only difference was that the DV-09 had an extra motorized door that sealed off the opening to the drawer. And I think the drawer may have been painted with Nextel, a suede-like paint.

    How about Sony Transports, are they mostly the same? I just bought an SACD player Sony DVP- NS90V, thanks for your response in advance.

      We've always used Pioneer transports, so I know a lot about those. I know a little bit about the older Sony DVD transports, but not much. If it has a plastic tray, you can pretty much bet that it's nothing special.
