Pioneer DVL - DVL-909

DVL-909

This late 90s model of combination player included several new features. Including both side play (auto reverse), digital audio outputs, S-Video outputs, component video outputs. This model had a good selling point as the European (PAL) and North American (NTSC) models could play both NTSC and PAL region LaserDiscs freely . The LaserDisc play quality is average but is superior to the other mid range and low end models produced in the early 90s. Noise level is low and image is sharp and stable. DVD play quality is however not even catching up to the cheaper DVD players that you can buy at discount stores today.

Note that the component signal only works for DVD but not LD. LD playback output only available on composite and S-video output. No progressive scan for the component output as well.
