pioneer elite DV09 or DV47ai

Besides Pioneer line of players, for under $500.00 you should consider Philips Q50AT (under 300.00) or Philips 963 (under 400.00).They both are great DVD players for the money.

You should also consider the Pioneer Elite 38A.
It's a great DVD player, on Audiogon for around $500.

Both hve the Chroma Upsampling Error. Get a Panasonic or Denon to avoid this problem.

I use the Pioneer 5 disk dvc36 and am super happy with its component video output ability into my projector

I have a DV-47a. Do any of you other owners have problems when the DVD switches layers? I have a good 1-2 second delay in the middle of every movie. In this regard, it is the worst DVD player I've ever owned. I am pleased with it in all other aspects though.
