Inexpensive and Unimpressive
Pioneer is known for producing surprisingly good tech-media equipment. For example, their DVD DVR
burners are unequaled at the price point. Unequaled. The hope is that quality permeates similar
product lines as well as integrates vertically down to inexpensive consumer lines. I purchased the Pioneer DV-410-K DVD Player to augment other more expensive machines that do not offer upscaling,
WMV and JPeg. The hope for quality was an illusion. Unfortunately, while the 410-K is an inexpensive answer to some updated capabilities, in my
opinion it's picture quality is poor. Without picture quality other attributes mean little. It has trouble reproducing blacks and it understands specular highlights as a 2003 era two-megapixel camera would. Detail washes out as auroras phosphorus intrude. I cannot recommend it.
