The Pioneer Elite BDP-HD1 Review Thread

[cyberhusky]

I got my Elite player yesterday also from Tweeter. Worked great right out of the box; easy set-up, great picture and sound. While I'm not using the HDMI connection (my Elite receiver and Sharp projector don't have one), I was mystified that the sound seemed much cleaner. It seemed easier to understand the characters dialogue in "A Knight's Tale", but the player did freeze up at 1 hour 29 min 15 sec and refused to move. I finally had to disconnet power, restart, and eject the disc. There was a fingerprint on it, which I carefully cleaned off. After replacing the disc, the player went right through that spot with no problems. A subsequent viewing of Eight Below played fine all the way through.

So far, so good on this player. I've been on Tweeter's waiting list since mid-December in Chicagoland.
