Amoung the many+s- 2 coax outs / one to the 2 channel dac / one to the HT processor.Also; allows you to change from DD-Dts etc on the fly(no need to stop the disc ad go back into the menu) Most important of all(when resale time comes) never heard of the other player/that sould be reason enough right there.

Both are very good units, but I preferred the H1000 on progressive outputs to the DV-09. Both are built, though the Pioneer is tough to beat on looks. Regrettably, my H1000 has failed due to bad motor/drive. Just haven't had time to repair it yet. I'm using the Pioneer DV-37 right now, and it is quite good, but do miss the H1000. Big difference between the two is the warranty. Panasonic warranty on this model sucks. Considering it is the top of their line, it only has a 90 day warranty, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, don't know if this hurts or helps. Good luck.
