Pioneer DV-525 DVD Player

Pros: Quality, Options
Cons: none

I recently purchased the DVD player as an Open Box Buy at Best Buy for 200 bucks. It had more options than most players in this price range (sells for 250ish) and it has a great picture too. It has options for all sorts of surround sound and other things...

Pros: great video, great audio
Cons: makes you highly aware of the limits to your current setup

I purchased this player for 250 +tax. Which makes it one of the least expensive brand name DVD players currently on the market.

Pioneer brand.
I don't own any other Pioneer components ... the reason I purchased this unit was because I...

Pros: Video CDS, CD-RS, Video Component Output, Affordability!
Cons: Lacks the extra (unneccesary features) that pricier models have

As far as affordable dvd players go, the Pioneer 525 is definitely the one to buy. I researched several dvd players this Christmas and compared the features of mainly the Sony 330, the Panasonic A120, and the Pioneer 525. The Pioneer is the only system...

Pros: great quality, great features, name brand
Cons: None

I purchased the Pioneer Dv525 in early Jan of this year. My purchasing of this Product was greatly influenced by the name brand, the great options, and the fact that is was on sale greatly reduced. The Dvd player was very easy to hookup, and also easy...

Pros: great picture, sound
Cons: let me think

I have spend a lot of time listening to and evaluating the latest DVDs on the market. After looking at around 10 Market Leaders from companies like Yamaha, Panasonic, Sony, and the like, I finally settled on this DVD player. I thought the sound and...

Pros: Excellent dvd player; especially for the money.
Cons: a little noise upon closing/opening dvd door.

The Pioneer DV-525 is a great DVD player. I purchased it last week; and have played a few movies on it.

I have been very pleased; the sound is excellent, the picture is excellent. I did purchase an optional Monster digital audio cable (opt)....

Pros: Cost, Picture and Sound quality
Cons: Remote,Motor noise, plain look

I bought this Pioneer for less then ~$250 over 4 months ago (w/o the current rebate program), and I got a lot of machine for my $. The Pioneer is one of the few "low-end" models that offers component video out. Currently, I am using AR...

Pros: Pioneer name, high quality sound and picture
Cons: none that we know of

We bought the Pioneer DV-525 almost a year ago, right around May of last year. I had looked at several others before deciding on this one. There were several things I was considering when buying a DVD player.



1) Price was a big...

Pros: Very good value for the money!
Cons: Not a lot of features

This DVD player is excellent. We had looked at several others and decided that this was the best. It also isn't real expensive. We only paid 280$ for ours. We also got a certificate for five free DVD movies(by mail in with certificate, UPC and receipt)as...

Pros: Great value.
Cons: Minor flaws mentioned in my review.

The Pioneer DV-525 has been of great value to me. I use it as both a DVD and CD player and it seems to cover both of these tasks quite adequately. The player has everything you could expect at its price including component video out and two digital...

Pros: Reads .wav and .mp3 disks, Great sound and picture
Cons: older model, not 5 disk changer

I have owned this DVD player since about two weeks after it was released on the market. I haven't ever had any issues with it.

The first feature that I really enjoy is that it is fairly easy to keep clean. It doesn't run "hot" either. My...

Pros: Reliable. Brilliant sound and picture quality
Cons: No bells and whistles. Might be hard to find available.

It took me a good amount of time before I buckled down and bought into the DVD craze. I bought this player as a fully-warranteed, open-box but never used item for $215. At that price, I figured that I could not go wrong.

So far, I have...

Pros: It plays cd-r's, cd-rw's, video cd's, audio cd's and dvd's no other player does!!!
Cons: no zoom feature

I recently purchased the pioneer 525-dvd and have been happy ever since.
I have already put hours and hours on this machine with out any flaws. The features alone are set this dvd away from all of the other dvd's on the market. What other dvd plays...

Pros: Performance & Price
Cons: Non- lighted remote

This DVD player has everything I was looking for: the right combination of performance, specs, and price. I had very good luck with Pioneer CD players, which I found superior even to my Sony ES series model, so I thought the 525 would be a good bet....

Pros: Plays ALL CD-R(W) movies in both VCD (MPEG-1) and SVCD (MPEG-2). Great picture and sound!
Cons: Not progressive scan (but unless you have HDTV, you don't need it anyway!)

This review is mainly going to center around my hunt for a DVD player which can play movies I burn from my computer onto a CD-R or CD-RW (movies burned on CD-R(W) are called "VCD - Video CD" if they are normal quality or "SVCD - Super Video CD" if they...
