Whats the main difference with the DV-600 model?


check the singapore website, i far as i can compare the two specs, the differences i saw are the 610 can display hd jpeg, and it can copy files from cd to usb. everything else is the same. on the physical side, the only difference i can spot between the two is that the usb is now on the right side of the player for the 610 rather than the left side.

btw, i saw a black dv 410av at avx harrison plaza.

Post by: lemar on Sep 12, 2008 at 11:54 AM
afaik, yun black ng dv600 ay outside sa distributorship ng pioneer dito sa pinas, silver lang daw talaga, nagtanong ko din sa mga taga pioneer..pati dv610 silver lang.



410 bro,610 by order daw pero wala din ako makita sa ibang abensons eh.

for dv610, try western, ever commonwealth, meron sila isa though display, western sta lucia has one, dati dalawa kinuha ko yun isa (last week), wala din western trinoma.  sa anson trinoma, sabi last monday meron sila padating na stocks fresh from japan daw. abensons wala pa sila stock, late ata sila saka automatic centres.

deeco farmers has 3 dv600av-s, though sobrang mahal, 6,990. sabi ko nga luma na yan at mababa na presyo...  ;D

brader joel,

yung 610 can rip cd songs to mp3 and into a usb flash disk, and if the difference of the old 400 and 600 is same sa 410 and 610. iba din yung upscaling chip ng 610 dapat, same mediatek chip but the 610 should have the better chip.

thanks bro , may free gift check kasi ako sa abensons & im looking for dv610 na color black.
bumaba na din ang prize ng dv600 nasa 5700 na lang yata eh.

kaya isip isip kung dv600 or dv610 may difference din na 1k eh.

i know it can play files from an external hard disc drive, depends on how the hdd is formatted, dapat ata fat32. mkv files are usually video files that are in hidef. although avi files can ba hidef too, but hd files available in the internet are usually in mkv containers, while files in avi containers are usually only dvd quality.

pioneer dvd players with usb can't play mkv files. only divx on avi containers.

Ako naman yung DV400 ko parating "No Disc" after 6 months of scarce usage.  Buti nalang naka-warranty pa and Pioneer changed the MPEG board.  After a year and 1 month, same problem occurred pero wala ng warranty. Brought it to Pioneer and they told me that they had to change the ribbon connector and ok na.  They still tested it before I got the unit and then nagloko na naman.  Sabi nila dalhin na daw sa main service center kasi MPEG board na yung sira.  Problema, wala ng warranty kaya malamang mahal na ang repair. So I just pulled out the unit.  Good thing wala silang siningil sakin.  Tested a few DVDs so far ok naman pero di nako aasang tumagal.   Mukhang lemon din ang nabili ko.  :-\

Parang yoko na ata ng Pioneer kaya sumubok naman ako ng Philips.  Parang mas maganda pa ata yung Philips na nabili ko sa upscaling compared to the Pioneer.  :P

I tried plugging in my portable HD (sa dv-610)..ayaw nya basahin. its formatted fat32. The I decided to move a file to a smaller capacity flash drive, hayun binasa and nag play. I might go and get a bigger flash drive tomorrow for this.

Tinutopak ang DELL XPS M1330 ko pag pinaplugin ko ang hdmi going to Regza :-\.... dunno for what reason, so decided to burn the video files to dvd instead. The DV-610 played them well... walang katapusang Little Einstein na to.  ;D

i think may issue talaga if you use hdmi, try it with vga and it works. unless you really want an hdmi connection.

hmmm meron pala? thought its my unit who's clunking. Got myself an 8gb flash disk (cdrk run out of 16gb units). Loaded the anime series of Shakugan no Shana.... worked flawlessly. Oh only problem I found so far..is that using USB, the unit tends to display only short portion of the file name.  :P

IMO wala ka makikita difference kasi di mo pa naman kailangan mag-upscale sa CRT eh. correct me if im wrong.

i agree with you, because crt tvs have 480 lines only, and i think your crt tv has no hdmi, so you wont be able to use the players upscaler.

i am not familiar with sir santwip's current pioneer player. but if its not a progressive scan player. then if you are not upgrading your tv. then better get a good progressive scan dvd player. then it can give you a slight improvement over an interlaced picture.

yes sir iiinas, my crt tv has no hdmi. since i won't be able to use the players upscaler, is it possible na meron pa rin akong ma experience na improvement ng sq/pq since mas bagong chips ang gamit ng 410 or 610? or i'll just settle for the latest ordinary pio player like 210 or 310. im just hoping na makabili ako ng lcd tv (but not in the near future  :() para if ever may nakaabang na akong upscaler player kung 410 or 610 na bibilin ko.

my current pio player has a "pure cinema progressive" label sa front panel. is it a progressive scan player?

your replies will be highly appreciated.

yup, its progressive already. if you are not going to buy a new lcd or plasma in the near future, i suggest you stick to what you have, because in my opinion, once you want to buy a new flat panel, there might be better dvd upscaler tech available by that time. so i suggest ipon mo nalang. malay mo, by that time you may not even want to buy an upscaler anymore but go directly to bluray (hopefully it will be cheaper by that time).

Yes AVI (divx format) and MPEG (mpg, mp4, etc) files can be played in DV600 and as well in DV610. Though not all video codecs are supported.

makikisingit lang po....
Just got myself last Christmas a DV610. For a mere mortal like me, its a good buy. I am happy watching my CD collections kasi somehow i noticed some improvements especially yung mga movie CDs that i bought 4 years ago.  :D though my TV set is still "low-tech" hehehe.  Watching DVDs (slowly approaching to be a DVD addict too) are even better with my new gear. For all the brands i tried and tested before deciding to buy it (except those priced at 11k and up into clouds), i would recommend (accdg to my ears) this gear or the Philips.

JMTCW!!

Been watching downloaded compressed movies via the USB port of this player lately, not the ones taken in a moviehouse. Movies can be upscaled, in my case up to 720p, to my Pana 50PV80. Surprisingly the picture is better than good, colors are vivid and the contrast is deep.

try changing the TV System setting to NTSC, if I remember correctly(check the manual Pionner has it's intricate way), here are the steps:
1)go to stand by
2)press forward button on front panel at the same time pressing the standby on system
3)Sequence is Auto-NTSC-PAL
4)Choose NTSC

Hopefully that will solve your problem. ;)

I was surprised that the dv610 was able to recognize the 320GB WD external HD that I feed it to.  The movie and MP3s I tried played just fine.  However, there is an instance when I was playing a movie that the unit just stops working, it is totally unresponsive and wont even power off. I had to unplug the unit, after that, all is well again  ???  Im guessing, while it can handle the 320G hardrive, its buffer system can't handle that much data when used for a long time.  Remedied by firmware update perhaps?

410 lang ang player ko, pero hindi ko pa rin na-try ang StM firmware ni Hakan para sa 410 ... takot ako, e.  ;D

Isang firmware lang ang kailangan mo, just choose the latest StM firmware.  Or piliin mo yung original YJC8919A kung mas luma doon ang orig firmware mo ngayon.

Maganda rin na info ang site na yan, interesting to know na meron palang nag-iisang Pioneer player authority sa net.  ;)

....

Has anyone tried updating their DV610AV?  Ano po naging benefit sa player po ninyo?

Thank you in advance for any response.

Godbless



I upgraded mine last night using CP1251 (the latest) from this site http://www.pioneerfaq.info/english/dv610.php?player=DV-610AV&question=Firmwares.  I was motivated to upgrade because of this (promised) features:
  - Show all chars in USB mode.
  - Long file names in USB(JPEG preview in USB mode is not turned off)

Been using the dv610 to play mp3s from flash drive a lot lately and I am really annoyed that long filenames are not being displayed, so I took a gamble.  So far so good.

Note when upgrading:
    Follow all the procedures in the site mentioned (e.g. cd label should be 'PIONEER'; the filename has to be all caps including BIN) BUT take note of the filename of the 'BIN' file.  My first attempt did work because I found out that my firmwares version name is 'YJG8919A' (not YJCXXXA).  I reckon file name should be the same so I just did a rename of the BIN file and all went good. 

Good luck to those who will upgrade and remember that your warranty will be voided when you do this.  If you ask me I think it is safe and worth it though. :)

Mga sir,

ang pagkakalaam ko po. pag ang external nyo ay 2.5" no matter what capacity, mahihirapan syang ma play pero kung 3.5"HDD with external power supply e ma play nya ito. yung DV 610-K Black, available lang po sa middle east. Malapit na po dumating ang Stock nila. Ngayun po merun sila DV-420 black, then DV 620-K darating na bago.

Cheers ;D

its possible that the way your video was encoded is not match to the decoding features of your Dvd player.
remember, for  a pc you have to download codecs to be able your media player can read such avi/divx files.

If I am into pure audio, which would be a better option for me, this player or a surplus CDP from pier? I kinda like the specs of this player though. Looks to me as an all around player with good audio capablity.
Title: Re: Pioneer DV-610AV
Post by: Philander on Mar 14, 2010 at 11:36 PM
Pioneer DV610 is a decent CD player... it uses high quality DAC that is why it produces good cd audio playback. Use the front 2 channels of the 6ch output for stereo playback.

Thanks, would that equate to - the 610 almost always better than the surplus CDPs at Pier which you get for 1k to 2k?

With the specs of this player, do you guys consider this as the best bang for the buck player right now?

Which among the other DVD players (within the same price range) right now share the high quality DAC, if not higher, of the 610?

One more thing, where is the best place nowadays to get this? How much does this go for right now?

Thanks again.

Is it worth it? the 420 last i checked was about P5500...or is there a better 620 series in the pipeline?

I've seen the schematics for this player (thanks to the internet)

and based on the schematics..

It has 3 Burr-Brown/Texas Instruments PCM1742KE 192KHz/24Bit DACs for all 6 channels (3 DACs x 2 channels per DAC = 6 channels)

and

3 Texas Instruments RC4580I 2 channel OpAmps (3 OpAmps x 2 channels per OpAmp = 6 channels)

arranged in this fashion

Centre+LFE (Sub) = 1 DAC + 1 OpAmp
Surround L+R = 1 DAC + 1 OpAmp
Front L+R = 1 DAC + 1 OpAmp

A client bought his at SM appliance centre (I forgot which one but I guess you can call SM on which branch has stock) for 5,XXX (didnt bother the actual price, but I know its less than 6K)

at that price, plus its a DVD Audio / Super Audio CD player, its a STEAL.

I guess that would depend on the listener and the partnering gear, Master Tirso. Though the C515BEE is soundly better than the DV610, there are times when the livelier character of the Pioneer helps. Spectra helped us A/B test these units when Punkrocker was looking for some gear.

I have not heard the DV610 side-by-side with the NAD 510, but the DV610 is a fairly decent mass-market dvd-p. The 510 is a good CD player, but it has been around for 15 years. I suppose it can go one way or the other.

C525BEE yung sayo diba?

Mas maganda tumunog itong dv-610 when used as a cd and dvd player, using left and right audio output connected to amplifier compared to other cd player na nai-listening test ko na. Yung mid to high nya mas emphasized pati na rin bass at overall signal level. Maganda pati left and right separation as compared to others lalo na sa china dvd player, kasi parang maraming nawawalang tunog when I used and test china dvd, Yung dati kong china dvd (full size at mini yung isa), pati yung separation halos konti lang, kaya pinamigay ko na sa relatives ko...

Hi, just some insights about this player.It runs my USB2.0 external 2.5 80gb.hdd after reformatting it to FAT32 using gparted on my linux machine. It should be formatted as being a primary, inactive drive, meaning not bootable.:)  I've been watching a lot of divx/xvid files on it,and my problem now is that the player stops when file size is greater than 1GB or more. >:(

WD external HD => usb cable ==> DV610 => hdmi cable==> Panasonic 42C10S

sorry po, i am not very good with HT details and terminologies.. motion stutter is there but not at distracting degree... sharpness is very good.. vivid color and black contrasted well.
sum up: we are very satisfied with the picture quality of these combination.

sa spec kasi ng site ng pioneer, divx/mpeg-4/wmv ang supported nya, using usb.

kasi kung kaya nito na atleast makapag-play ng mkv ito na lang bibilhin ko sa halip na xtreamer.

kasi upscaler din naman itong player na ito.

salamat sa makapagbibigay ng proof.

pero kaya nito ang 720p to 1080p AVI format?

Yes mga Sir, di nito kaya mag play ng mkv file..., avi, divx ba or divx at flv files kaya. Kung alin ang better 610 or 420? DV-610 ang better.., Bakit? kaya nya i-play ang SACD at DVD-audio at higit sa lahat iba ang DAC nya( mas maganda tumunog kesa sa 420 at iba pang DVD player, maganda rin gamitin as a CD player (iba tunog kesa sa ibang model at brand dahil nga sa DAC nya. At may analog output na 5.1 channel para sa movie watching using HD DVD. Mas lamang talaga ang DV-610...
Title: Re: Pioneer DV-610AV
Post by: bass_nut on Jan 07, 2011 at 12:12 PM
on audio side, DV-610 will benefit much when used with a very good external DAC.

my route
CD played on DV-610 ==> digital audio signal either from coax or optical output jack ==> optical/coax cable ==> SuperPro 707 DAC (external DAC)==> rca cables ==> pre amp ==>  power amp ==> speakers

or
CD played on DV-610 ==> digital audio signal either from coax or optical output jack ==> optical/coax cable ==> SuperPro 707 DAC (external DAC)==> rca cables ==> headphone amp ==> high quality headphones (Grado HF-2)

Pioneer 610 or XtreamerPro. so hindi ko muna binili kahit gustong gusto ko.

siguro next time na lang, Xtreamer muna hehehe, gusto ko kasi convenience na drag and drop na lang para wala ng converting pa.

although, gusto ko makita yung mga DVD collection ko using upscaling feature nito.
How good ba talaga ang upscaling nito?

Post by: musicgeek on Feb 06, 2011 at 06:04 PM
I've been using this player since August, 2009 unit I bought in Automatic Centre in Glorietta. So far it's been good.

+ Superb picture quality as a DVD and media file player (divx, xvid, avi, wmv) on my Sony Bravia KLV-40V300A via HDMI.
+ Excellent sound on my "antique" analog sound system: Pioneer RX receiver plus JBL speakers
+ Reads / plays my 160GB USB enclosure having samsung IDE 2.5" HDD even without power adapter. The power adapter though is required if using usb extension cable. Otherwise, the supplied USB power of the DV610 is sufficient to run an HDD enclosure as long as it's formatted FAT32

- Cannot read mkv, mp4, mpeg-1, mpeg-2, .dat in USB mode
- No repeat play for mp3 files

I've upgraded my firmware to Hakan's StM version 2.0. A few month's after I bought the player. And my experience has gotten better. The features of the upgrade are clearly stated here: http://www.pioneerfaq.info/english/dv610.php?player=DV-610AV&question=Firmwares

The advantages I liked most with the upgrade are bass, treble boost, equalizer, display of long filenames in USB mode, improved contextual displays e.g. titles, timings have bigger font sizes. Also the upgrade has fixed file corruption issue wherein it now skips to the next song/mp3 if the current one is unreadable. I'm particularly happy with the added option of shuffle play which is really useful if you have big mp3 collection.

The newer versions (currently v2.1A and up) posted in Hakan's site however will change the file browser's color to silver (from greenish). It might just be me but the combination used by Hakan rendered the letters unreadable. IMHO this is the only drawback of the custom firmware though minimal. I'll post some picture of the upgraded version if anyone's interested.

Post by: musicgeek on Feb 11, 2011 at 09:31 PM
Here are some screenshots of the modified firmware. I'm using version 2.0. Note that this is no longer available in Hakan's site. The main difference with the newer firmware is the file list menu having a grayscale background and contexts. This is explained in detail below.

(http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/3900/normallogo.jpg) (http://img684.imageshack.us/i/normallogo.jpg/)  (http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/261/modifiedlogo.jpg) (http://img98.imageshack.us/i/modifiedlogo.jpg/)

On the left side is the original red pioneer logo. Beside it is the modified firmware having the silver logo and a caption "seeing and hearing like never before"

(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/9039/filelistorig.jpg) (http://img11.imageshack.us/i/filelistorig.jpg/)  (http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/3729/filelistmodified.jpg) (http://img171.imageshack.us/i/filelistmodified.jpg/)

The default file list menu shows a split screen. The enhanced version enables long file name support thus maximizing the entire frame. You'll also notice new icons "musical notes" for sound files while a "film" indicates movie files. The newer firmwares (2.1 and above) posted in Hakan's site has this menu in grayscale, a classic look with a small "pioneer" logo on top and a bottom caption which reads "sound.vision.soul". IMHO the new menu's difficult to read compared with the ones posted here.

The revised display has enlarged caption for the title and other information. It also shows here the "shuffle" play when "7" is pressed. Sequential play is also supported by pressing the corresponding number keys on the remote control.

New items in audio settings most prominent of which are the equalizer and sound boost (treble, bass, super bass)

saw the silver unit at anson's trinoma and elegante naman itsura ng silver. i currently don't have a region free dvd player (as i gave away my dv120). i'm gonna be using it to play region 1 discs (region locked kasi yung bd550 ko) but will be used more as a standalone cd player. hope to get a unit before the holy week break

was supposed to get this unit kanina from listening room in megamall. na test ko na, humingi na ko ng sealed box. tinest then nakita ko yung box ng lx50. i asked kung magkano yung lx50 knowing na around 30k pa rin siya sa malls, ansons, automatic center etc. then the salesperson told me na naka sale daw ng 9,500 cash. i was utterly surprised. unfortunately they only had one unit on stock and it was already reserved. they told me they could get another unit but i had to wait until monday. i had to make a decision either to purchase the dv610 at 5,500 and take a unit home or add 4k and wait until monday. in the end i decided to just wait until monday to get the higher model lx50. now i just can't wait until monday!

what's the difference in picture and audio quality of dv610 vs lx50?

just got my lx50 kanina. di ko pa rin natetest. pero for sure naman na it's better built than the dv610 kasi nga flagship model siya ng pioneer during its time.

i read your post and everyone says the audio quality is good.
 hows the 610's picture quality compared to its smaller siblings the 420 and 220?

di ko na test side by side yung dv610 and dv50. pero super happr ako sa dv50, in fact i use it more than my blu ray player and has prompted me to keep buying DVDs. ganda ng colors, very natural, may depth yung picture at ang smooth ng motion (HDMI upscaling). minsan di pa rin ako makapaniwala na DVD lang ang pinapanood ko. to think na i buy locally released DVDs.

for music purposes naman, naka connect siya via L&R analog sa reciever and the sound is amazing. i plan to give him a decent stereo amp to realize its full potential.

i thought about getting separate CD and DVD players but ultimately decided to get this to save some space. for movies i use the hdmi connections while for audio it's hooked up via analog. sa SM app store it still has a price of 29k.

Surviving pre. Not familiar with the latest dvd players though I've managed to keep my Pio 600 and 610 for audio purposes only since its SACD compatible. Got the 610 (store display daw) at Tramo Road (infront/across of Partas Bus Station) in a place that sells old Pio items which now sports the name Mixtrax. Not sure if they still have stocks.
