How much the Pioneer DVD DVLX-50?

I heard that SACD or DVD audio cannot use optical or coaxial cable connection. Must either use 5.1 Audio channel output or HDMI. Is it true?

During the AV show, do they sale DVD player? Will be cheaper there also?

981? Pioneer?


Pioneer have DV989......cost ~2K-2.5K


Then how about the new model DVLX50.....?$$$$

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link plays media from USB flash drives:
The Universal Serial Bus or USB is a protocol standard that is conveniently used to link PCs, peripherals and consumer electronic equuipment. Hi-Speed USB devices have a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps - up from the 12 Mbps in original USB ones. With Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link, all you have to do is plug in your USB device, select the movie, music or photo and play away.

HDMI 1080p upscales to high definition for sharper pictures:
HDMI 1080p upscaling delivers images that are crystal clear. Movies in standard definition can now be enjoyed in true high definition resolution - ensuring more details and more true-to-life pictures. Progressive Scan (represented by "p" in "1080p') eliminates the line structure prevalent on TV screens, again ensuring relentlessly sharp images. To top it off, HDMI makes a direct digital connection that can carry uncompressed digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio, without conversions to analog - delivering perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise.

New Philip DVD DVP5996K/98 which can support SACD (Multi-channel SACD for total music immersion)

But Pioneer DV410S cannot support SACD. ...which definitely not the same....SACD cannot use optical or Coaxial output. Moreover Philip DVD DVP5996K/98 can support USB connectivity to Hardisk(FAT32) to play DIVX file. But, I am not sure for this Pioneer DV410S



Wanna to know whether this Philip DVD DVP5996K/98 already start selling in Malaysia or dunno for sure how much now

Get the latest one....Philip 5996/98....but dunno how much yet

Many forummer said Philip 5986 is the king of those range DVD....if compare to sony or Pioneer similar range
But, Philip have come out the newer version (5996/98) which have better connectivity and can support SACD

I have brought the Pioneer DV410 DVD player.....very good....picture compare to my old JVC unit

With upscaling to HD.....better picture especially watching from my 50' TV

Better sound also...might be this time I connect my DVD player with Audiquest coaxial cable rather using the optical cable....compare both sound....winner will be my new DVD with Coaxial cable.....

Moreover....I am not expected that the DVD410 can play Divx movie from my 4G USB thumbdrive....haaa

I didn't go to survey much....I think I get the reasonable price....$465

That's why this time I changed to Coaxial cable...I read your previous comment...Somemore, the guy from shop also said better.... now I confirmed by my own audition....keeee

AIYA...NEW unit only $670 la for Pioneer DV610 DVD player...I rather to buy the new one if $20 different

Picture vise...comparison for DV610 and DV410...same same la..the different is DV610 have decoder for DVD-A and SACD with multichannel output..
Disc for SACD and DVD-A...very expensive la...
Initially , I tot to buy the DV610...but i scrap my plan....even I have two SACD disc....think back...seldom listen to SACD or DVD-A.....
Save a bit and buy a good cable

Future, when price drop for SACD disc or DVD-A, will consider la

aiya....I use my amp just for music only (My Amp doesn't support HDMI, I choose to buy this cause I plan for my amp just for music, if pay much more for amp with upconversion, not worth, unless much more for amp with upscalling).....therefore, I connenct my HDMI directly to TV and coaxial cable to my receiver.....

Yes....you are absolute correct.....

This depend where you buy...I saw the DV610 at Best Denki cost $999 but....
When I went to A&L Armcorp mall, I brought the DV410 for $465 and he offer me DV610 for $670 only

Look for the guy called Alex

For sure you can go to check.....But, don't go to kacau until disturb the market......later you tell him you brought even expensive....wouldn't you do this right?
I review here because I would like to share good to other...and people know where to buy....the cheapest thing..

I find Alex is a good sale guy.... he sound technical and always can find or recommended within my budget......may be the sales techniq he used suit me.....keeeee...But, one two times he also try to bluff me a bit.....salesman always like this meh... but i find still within my limit......Always equip with the some product knowledge ...then they can't bluff you too far....I just share here...

Even I also asked the Velodyne sub CHT-10 ...he straight give me $1800...the price during KLIVA...why susah susah I read some other forummer review....

Any comment????

How to select HDMI cable....Last weekends, I went to check....the sales guy mentioned on the bandwith....

Not really go and find some reading yet....what is your sifu comment????

I am the owner of Pioneer DV410 which cost me $465 only...I brought few week ago only...from A&L Armcorp Mall

So...I saw many HDMI cable in the market...from hundred to thousand $$$$$....High end one talk about the bandwidth signal of the HDMI...but...what are the minimum requirement..for our HD TV....

I read the link...but...low cost will not last long...My question is...what HDMI cable is the best to achieve the minimum requirement for HD TV and quality last long also important...

Any recommendation..? What is your choice of HDMI cable (cost and where to buy please)???
