5.0 out of 5 stars best dvd plater ever released by pioneer for under 200 in the USA
this unit rocked once you get past the fact it slow to start up but besides that is a wonderful player which can handle almost everything thrown at it

the only model that was better is the 2006 DV-696av however it was sadly withheld from the North american market for only a reason Pioneer knows

and the 696av simply rocks and blows away the dv-490av...

3.0 out of 5 stars Loud Running Noise & v.s. 563 Pioneer
When I first got it home, I noticed that there is a loud running noise that comes over soft passages in various songs. Also in comparison with the Pioneer 563A(which I switched out and in with the 588A), it has a less defined/clear sound on super audio CDs likely due to the downconversion of DSD to PCM. I would recommend either the Pioneer 563 or a different DVD player...

This review is from: Pioneer DV-588A-S Progressive Scan DVD with Universal playback DVD Audio SACD DIVX MP3
