Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Pioneer DV-563A is a high-performance movie and music machine. In addition to DVD movies, the slim DV-563A plays multichannel, high-resolution DVD-Audio and SACD discs, plus all of your recordings on DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW, and MP3. It has a PhotoViewer feature for viewing JPEG still photos.
For great video playback, the DV-563A features a 10-bit/54MHz Video D-A converter and Pioneer's PureCinema 2:3 Progressive Scan, and includes a component-video output.
This player also supports the Super VCD standard, which offers superior picture quality to the Video CD standard and allows two stereo soundtracks to be recorded as well as support for widescreen.
Experience the super high-quality audio performance of DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD (SACD). The onboard 24-bit/192kHz DAC means that this player is fully compatible with high-sampling-rate discs, capable of delivering exceptional sound quality in terms of dynamic range, low-level resolution, and high-frequency detail.
The DV-563A features multichannel analog outputs for connection to an AV amplifier to give you stunning surround sound from Dolby Digital, DTS, and multichannel DVD-Audio discs. SRS TruSurround creates a realistic surround-sound effect from any Dolby Digital or Pro Logic encoded source using just two speakers.
Other features include:
- While a DVD or Video CD/Super VCD is playing, you can zoom in on any part of the picture at up to 4x magnification.
- Compatibility with CD-R, CD-RW, and CD-ROM discs that contain MP3 audio tracks.
- Auto power-off function automatically switches player into standby if not used for over 30 minutes.
- Built-in bass management for adjusting speaker size, delay time, and channel balance when using 5.1-channel output.
Tech Talk
- SACD: Super Audio CD (SACD) is a high-resolution digital audio format that promises vast sonic improvements over the current audio CD format. Super Audio CD discs can be played back on dedicated Super Audio CD players or combination SACD/DVD-Video players. Certain SACD discs feature a conventional audio CD layer (hybrid SACDs) which can be played back by any CD player or computer with a CD-ROM drive.
- Progressive scan: Also called sequential scanning, a progressive-scan system displays the entire image--providing all the horizontal lines per frame, rather than every other line--once every 60th of a second. This method reduces flicker and increases stability. Progressive-scan viewing requires a compatible digital TV.
- Component video: Unlike a single video input, component video maintains the video signal as three separate signals through these three jacks. This connection provides optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the Y, Pb, and Pr connections.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Terrific player for the money,
By
This review is from: Pioneer DV 563A DVD player (Electronics)
This player is a very good player for a very cheap price. It not only plays regular DVD's with great results, it also plays both DVD-audio discs and SACD's with ease. The sound is great and setup is very easy. I had mine up and running within 10 minutes, and that includes connecting the cables to my receiver. The only reason I did not give this player a 5 is because I think it loads the disc a bit slowly, otherwise it's a terrific play. The outside is attractive and the player has a very small footprint. Buy this! It's worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent player, with only one baffling element..,
This review is from: Pioneer DV 563A DVD player (Electronics)
I have had this player for some months now, and am very pleased with the performance all round. Video always looks good, no problems there. Every existing audio and video connection is available on the back, very nice indeed.
What makes this player truly great though is that it is a universal player - apart from the usual video, mp3, etc capabilities it also plays DVD Audio and SACD (super audio cd) - and it does so smashingly. The new formats are played back beautifully. It also gives you the best that your regular cds have to offer. I would really give this player the full five stars, except that it has one baffling, and extremely irritating feature - while it actually does PAL to NTSC conversion (very nicely I might add), it is not region free, nor can it be rendered so easily. I ask you, how many region 1 PAL discs have YOU seen on the market? Because of this I have to keep a second player (one of those no name brand bargain basement ones - does an excellent job by the way) for the sole purpose of playing my region 2 PAL discs (expensive legitimately purchased discs of material that simply is not available in a region 1 version). Of course if you do not own any other region discs (nor plan on ever getting any) then this will be irrelevant to you. In conclusion, an excellent player all around, I fully recommend it - but with that one glaring error in design (Pioneer really let down their customers with that one).

Where is everybody?,
By Jdubb "jdubbb" (CEDAR FALLS, IOWA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pioneer DV 563A DVD player (Electronics)
I wonder why there isn't more interest in this player that has the unique ability to play both of the new formats. I bought mine for my mid level surround system and couldn't be more pleased. I don't know it may compare with the $$$ players, but I find the aural experience of SACD and DVD-A very nice for this price.
