It's not the design that makes Pioneer DVD players such as the DV-588A-S stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace, but rather the superior performance, especially on the audio side. The DV-588A-S isn't alone in offering compatibility with formats such as DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW, and VCD, and it certainly isn't unique in its ability to play the super high-fidelity audio formats of DVD-Audio and SACD.

Hook the DV-588A-S up to a compatible receiver and the player will generate a superior sound quality that audiophiles will greatly appreciate, whether their musical taste runs to rock, hip-hop, classical, country, or jazz. The audio delivery is layered and rich.

In addition to DVD-Audio and SACD, the DV-588A-S can also play CD, CD-R/RW, and discs loaded with MP3 and WMA digital audio files.

For anyone interested in obtaining a rich audio track to accompany DVD movies, the DV-588A-S sports both coaxial and optical digital audio outputs so Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround signals can be routed directly to a compatible receiver. The DV-588A-S offers Pioneer's Pure Cinema 2:3 progressive scan output for achieving the optimal picture quality with a digital TV, as well as composite and S-video connections for compatibility with any analog TV.

The unit is also CPRM-compatible and can create digital slideshows from JPEG, Kodak, or FujiColor picture CD. Seven video adjustments help ensure that the DV-588A-S delivers superior images no matter what the source material. The unit also offers all the playback options one would expect, including a disc resume function, repeat play, and random play.

It is rare to find a comprehensive and high-quality player like the Pioneer DV-588A-S at such a low price.
