Product Description

The Pioneer DV454-S is a slimline DVD player with a high-silk finish to complement its modern design. Because it is only 5.5 cm high it fits almost anywhere and serves as an ideal match for the VSX-C100-S A/V receiver and the S-V40 A/V speakers set. Offering full playback of DVD discs and MP3 files, this sleek DVD unit is leading the way to the future. Even better, it is easy to use thanks to its new and improved GUI (Graphical User Interface) and optical digital output. The Disc Navigator handles DVD, VCD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, DVD-R and DVD-RW. The handy Zoom and Scroll function lets you zoom in on those favourite movies moments. Your DVD home cinema experience has never been as tantalising with the powerhouse sound supporting Dolby Digital and DTS digital output. The unit also has a new, ergonomic remote control.

Note: To enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound you need an A/V receiver/amplifier equipped with Dolby Digital/DTS decoders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pioneer DV454-S Silver Multi-region DVD Player, 21 Nov 2002

M.Carrapiett (Milton Keynes, Bucks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pioneer DV454-S Silver Multi-region DVD Player (Electronics)

Now, purchasing my 2nd DVD Player, I wanted a better one than last obviously. On receiving the DVD player it has all my expectations
1) Must be multi-region
2) Must Play RCE Disks
3) Optical Out
4) Easy to use and setup

I tested the player with Gladiator (R1), Charlies Angels (R1), Snatch (R1), all playing beautifully.

I would reccommend this product to anyone wanting a quality DVD, plus you get the added bonus of it being so slimline.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jaw dropping DVD quality, 25 Oct 2002

Alan Moore "amosam" (Glasgow) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Pioneer DV454-S Silver DVD Player (Electronics)

...The quality of video and audio on offer is simply incredible.

My last DVD player was a Sony. Since my 3-year-old girl had put the poor unit through (what seemed like) a 10,000 hour tour-of-duty we decided it was time to renew.

I was lucky enough to test drive the 454s in the flesh at a specialist hi-fi store (I own a 32-inch Toshiba wide screen TV) and had originally decided to opt for a Toshiba player. Boy am as I glad I checked this out first ...

Quite simply, the Pioneer's output quality left everything Toshiba & Sony had in this price bracket for dust. Razor sharp picture, colours I hadn't even noticed in previous viewing(!) & optically delivered digital audio.

An important feature (to me anyway) was the ease by which 454s read home-footage DVD's I'd burnt on my PC (take note other manufacturers!). DVD-R in my test was a 99p DiskPlanet job with 45 mins of MPEG2 footage loaded. The 454s loaded all content with ease and skipped through my home-made chapters no problem.

No complaints - 5 star quality.

Yes, it is that good.

No, I don't know why it's this cheap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value for Money, 6 Feb 2003

Steve Dodman (London, London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pioneer DV454-S Silver Multi-region DVD Player (Electronics)

All in all a very nice unit, excellent playback, good build quality, nice remote, no hassle to set up. Plays all the disks I have tried in it with no problems even some that have glitched on other players. Hard to beat at this price point

Great reproduction and generally very consistent, but it does seem to freeze momentarily (for about 2-3 seconds) on many scene changes.
