Wow the Dv- 696AV-K looks so cool in black, 8) sadly wala sya upconversion thru component which is what i really need :(
-
Yes, I really, really, really wish it will come out in Black here so it will match my NAD CD player.
Mukhang yung V in the model number means high-definition Video, yung A means high-definition Audio, yung S means Silver color, and K if it is blacK.
Sana may kasama na rin siyang HDMI to DVI cable since my TV does not have HDMI.

Doesn't seem to be that much difference between the current DV-383 and the upcoming DV-393, so... bring on the DV-696! YEAH!
-
i guess i just have to wait a little bit more and get the 696 rather than getting the toshi 350...
i want to maximize the hdmi connection kasi with my tv Ü
can't wait na! sure ba na june release nito? will it be released kaya locally?
sir ricky,
upgrade ka na lang ng source mo! yung may hdmi na din! hahaha!
-
Following the pattern last year for the 686 and 383, expect the new models to come out sometime Aug to Sept. Hopefully earlier.

More player details with photos:
Pioneer DV-490V (http://www.avland.co.uk/pioneer/dv490/dv490.htm)
Pioneer DV-696AV DVD Video, DVD Audio SACD Player (http://www.avland.co.uk/pioneer/dv696/dv696.htm)
There's an error on the DV-490 page title that identifies DVD Audio and SACD compatibility. The technical specs don't confirm this so it's probably a typo. I skipped the DV-393 since it seems exactly the same as the DV-383.
Apparently, the new line is coming out in May in Europe.
-
Received good news from Pioneer's local representatives. The DV-393 will be released locally in May. The DV-696 will follow in June. No pricing and product configuration details yet but I'll keep you posted.
-
firewired,
maybe you can use your connections so Pioneer will bring in the black version of the 696. :)

I second that... will just wait for this.. lalo na kung may black version ;)

Just when I'm about to get the 686, I see this thread... :o

Sir, any updates?

No word yet but let me follow-up on Monday.

available na ba yung 696? ;D
-
magkano kaya 696, me hdmi pala ito at with upscaling to 720p/1080i..may dcdi kaya ito?
buti na lang lalabas na to, kasi balak ko sana bumili ng samsung hd860, eh pioneer 676 yung dati ko at experience wise, ok ang pioneer pagdating sa multi-region at p'dvd compatability.. ;D
-
nagtanong ako kanina sa ambassador park square. ang sabi ko ata eh dv 690 ;D meron na daw (with hdmi) worth around 6.9k. malabo kung me kasamang hdmi cable at kung me black color.
-
For those of you who are waiting, here's a fairly technical look of the DV-393. Unfortunately, the reviewer wasn't impressed. Its HDMI sibling, the DV-490, is getting poor scores as well for its PAL handling. I hope the DV-696 isn't built on the same platform.

I saw the DV490 at SM southmall earlier P5990 ata ang price ....
-
Here's a look at the Pioneer DV-490. The HDMI output is pretty good with NTSC sources but has issues with PAL DVDs. Dang. It's beginning to seem like these cheap HDMI players are really... cheap HDMI players.

Also, some R2 buyers have confirmed that packed bitstream support is still spotty.
-
naku, if DV-490's performance is like this...i might pass on it...
sir, any word on the 696? when will it be released here in the phils?
-
Suggestion lang po, if you are looking for a HDMI cable, it is available in Ace hardware sa Filinvest. I was able to get ahold of 1. it costs around 2,600. The Brand of the cable is ACE mismo. Or you can order daw thru pioneer pero you have to wait. di ko lang alam kung gaano katagal.

On the DV490V-S...
I just got this.
What impressed me was it's ability to play f*kes/pdvds...even the extremely difficult ones that my old pioneer 515 couldn't. I got the xenon 840 earlier for this reason, but had to return it the next day due to a playback defect (long loading times, skips even with origs, stalled with some f*kes). I upgraded to the 490V-s after trying it with my most difficult to read discs at the shop (Western).
I attached via component (480p) and hdmi (720p,1080i), I am quite satisfied with the picture quality.
The HDMI cable cost me P2000.
-
Available na ba mga black units ng 490V or 696?? San kaya available?
Thanks.

may 6rca po b yan 5.1 output

Anyone using these Pioneer players on a Samsung LCD? Is it possible to zoom a letterbox DVD to fill more of the screen? What are the settings if on HDMI connection? All the zooming I did on both the TV and Player didn't get rid of the black bars on the side...

If you're using HDMI and upscaling, you can't manipulate the aspect ratio. The original aspect ratio of the movie will be the one to be shown, plus the upscaling will create a thicker bottom black bar.
But with 480p-HDMI, you can use your TV's zoom function to get rid of the black bars, depending on the zoom capability of the TV.

mukhang ok na ok ang review nitong dv696 planning to get one this weekend i hope :)
replacing my old kolin dvd player :)

Just got a DV-490V this evening from Ambassador Shangri-La. Last day of 0% offer 6 mos. to pay. Got it for P5990 or P900+/month. Decided to replace my Ganz Klar DVD Player already.

So how's the PQ upconverted with the W100? Significant bang difference with upconversion?
-
I just switched from interlace to progressive scan and there is just a slight added brightness to the PQ. Can I upconvert with this set-up? My A/V does not have an HDMI port and my projector is about 12 ft away from the DVD player so I don't know if the feature is useful.

You'll need an HDMI to DVI cable from Jambam(plug ;D). This will allow you to upconvert thru HDMI using the 490V. Medyo mahal ang cable at lengths around 25ft. Another option would be to place the player as near as possible to your PJ using a shorter HDMI to DVI cable and then run a lengthy digital coax for audio.
I just do not know if the apparent and considerable PQ difference is worth the added cost versus component PQ. Otherwise component is enough since cables are much cheaper. Please do update us when you do the "dip" to digital.
Thanks

I just got a 490V for P5,750 at Ambassador V-Mall.
Ang galing ng layer change nito: the transition is absolutely seamless --- may memory buffer na yata ngayon.
I wasn't able to detect any picture or sound interruption whatsoever on my layer break test disc, "The Corrs: Live at Lansdowne Road".
