Also supported are MP3 tracks and Windows Media Audio from CD-Rs, plus still pictures. Which is of limited benefit unless you own a large collection of DVDs bought in places such as the US or Japan. The component video output sockets also support progressive scan video, which weaves together the two fields of a regular interlaced picture before sending them to the display. From the start, Pioneer has been well-regarded for the picture quality of its DVD players and in this regard it pretty much matched that produced by the LG. The transport control keys work just as they ought to, rather than the flaky way of old. Most importantly, this player is much easier to control than the early models. At $229, its players have come a long way.
Pioneer has always been one of the DVD player price leaders among the "name" brands, and was the first to have a DVD player on the Australian market for under $1000. Of course, standard definition video is not the best way to view still pictures. It also supports Kodak Picture CDs and still-picture display of JPEG files. This does have some extras: it plays MP3 tracks from a CD-R and - a rather rarer feature - Windows Media Audio (those not Digital-Rights-Managed into inaudibility, that is). If you have any significant length of cable to run, you will appreciate the low cost of the cable compared to a long optical one. LG had only provided one form of digital audio output and, unusually, has opted for coaxial over optical.
The facilities are for the most part basic, but you do get the essentials, with component video output. The visible detail in dark areas was well-preserved, and in normally lit scenes the images were nicely sharp and three-dimensional without any apparent artificial enhancement. The picture quality from this unit was about as good as anything I have seen, regardless of price. Well, that is certainly not the case here. Big brands, pay attention!īudget DVD players, such as this model from LG, are supposed to be only adequate performers.
On the other hand, it uses a buffer to eliminate pauses on the dual layer gap. Sure, the video quality is not quite up to the big-name brands.

This worked well with NTSC discs, formated for the US TV system, but was a touch jerky with DVDs made for PAL TVs.Īny criticisms would be almost churlish, given that this sells for just $150. Fifth, it has a computer video output- a rare thing - in either VGA (640 x 480) or SVGA (800 x 600). Fourth, it can deliver a progressive scan signal from these. Second, it has an internal Dolby Digital 5.1 decoder, but it will neither let you balance the audio channel nor set up speakers to provide proper surround sound. First, instead of regular buttons across the front, it has a touch-screen panel for the main controls. So it is not surprising to see Conia's new M380 DVD player promoting several unusual features. DVD players are in danger of become boring: you poke in the disc, it plays, you enjoy.
