This amateur is amazing. It's acutely bigger than the aboriginal gen players, bdps1, alike the bd91. there are a few little things to accede about blu ray.

Boss 2 Din
That actuality said, DROOL! best upscaling I accept apparent on any amateur to date, abounding alive features, and the Pioneer Elite look. It's a actually adequate amateur and I for one anticipate that it's the best to date.

WOW That is alarming player!

According to the chiral for the BDP-94FD, the adapter diagram on folio 11 shows 8 RCA connectors to abutment 7.1.
I agnosticism there will be any above concrete changes amid the BDP-94FD and the to-be-released BDP-95FD.
I don't affirmation any appropriate adeptness but my acquaintance with Pioneer Elite has been my barometer. I bought a added DVD a brace of years aback to abutment both DVD and SACD which my Denon did not. The Pioneer baffled the Denon in both account affection and musicality in my bureaucracy AND the Pioneer is still working, the Denon's motor went about 6 months ago. Sounds absolute simple to me...........

How actual blessed am I that I was a Pioneer Elite "Target"...The VSX-94 is above comprehension, aback akin with the Bdp-95, activity becomes absolutly, hilariously in harmony..that, and afterwards it took two weeks complete a actual Able angle up, I WAS AT ONE WITH ELITEZEN MANUALS....
I aloof best up a Pioneer Elite BDP-95HD from the Pioneer Store in Costa Mesa.
I will accumulate this aboriginal column for answers to accepted questions so that new owners get answers quickly.
Does the Pioneer Elite BDP-95HD accomplish the DTS-HD Master Audio Bitstream that can be decoded by the receiver / processor?
-- Yes. My Integra DTC-9.8 displays 'DTS-HD MSTR' aback I baddest DTS-HD Master Audio complete clue from disk. Audio is un-frig'in-believable!
Are the bulk times bigger over the 94HD?
-- application POTC: COTBP as a benchmark, it took 22 abnormal from acute alpha on the alien to the POTC "loading..." bulletin to arise and a absolute of 38 abnormal for the Disney awning to appear
How does the PQ of the 95FD analyze to the 94HD?
-- actual agnate - 95FD aloof hardly sharper
How able-bodied does the 1080p24fps work:
-- Flawlessly
How is adequate is the DVD SD upconversion on the BDP-95FD?
-- accomplished (better than the BDP-94HD and the HD1)
REPORTED ISSUES or PROBLEMS: None.
I accept been watching Kingdom of Heaven Blu Ray while alert to the DTS-HD MA complete clue (Integra displays DTS-HD MSTR :-) Sounds un-frig'in-believable.
Player seems to be operating flawlessly. Boot up time actual acceptable. Responds to alien immediately. It is difficult to acquaint if there are any PQ differences from the PS3 that I had but the DTS-HD MA is apperception blowing...
It aloof took 35 abnormal from blame the abutting button on the alien to Kingdom of Heaven to activate playing...
With deejay in DVD amateur and amateur on stop, application POTC: COTBP it took 22 abnormal for the POTC loading bulletin to arise and a absolute of 38 abnormal for the Disney awning to appear...
After ambience it up I can't advice activity déjà vu all over again. As you can see in the pic it does attending about identical to the 94HD and HD1. I do like the chic attending it has though. I actually like that aerial appearance piano accomplishment look. As Tony said it takes about 35 abnormal for titles to alpha playing. Which actually is a appealing BIG advance over the two beforehand models. aloof like the others antecedent set up is a breeze. I do like the Pioneer alpha up awning bigger on the 95FD. It aloof looks cooler. I am not alone comparing this assemblage to its brothers (or cousins) but additionally to the Samsung 1400. This ELITE assemblage Costs added but you feel like it is money able-bodied spent.
Once afresh I adulation accepting the resolution button on the remote. actuality Able to change it on the fly is so abundant nicer afresh accepting to stop the cine and go into the set up card (like the 1400 and HD DVD players). If there is one affection added manufacturers could apprentice from Pioneer that would be a adequate one to alpha with. Also, accepting 1080p/23.98 (24) done after issues is a animation of beginning air. Toshiba has been disturbing as abounding of us apperceive so it is nice to get a assemblage out of the box (just like the 1400, 94HD and HD1) that can do 1080p/23.98 after any EDID issues. I accept not spent a abundant bulk of time with this assemblage but from what I accept I can say it is THE best Blu ray amateur on the market.
The account Q is actual bright and actual sharp. It bests the actual absorbing (especially for its price) Samsung 1400. Not by a lot in agreement of pic Q but aback you add the absolute amalgamation calm you apperceive why the Pioneer is more. account settings, card options, abundant alien (which is ablaze years avant-garde of the competition) and of advance a abundant account with abundant sound. Speaking of complete I accept alone done a brace of comparisons so far but it is too accessible to baddest bitstream casual in the menu. No abashing here. You are either sending D.D. or DTS via HDMI or PCM... Your call. That easy. I will do added on audio anon but sending the audio to my receiver (Onkyo 905) articulate abundant aloof as I expected. It additionally articulate adequate the few account I had the 95FD accomplishing it. I am not activity to say which is bigger because I do not appetite to accessible that can of worms again. So do not ask here. PM me.
I am application the new Sony VPL- VW60 "Black Pearl" (which is the 3rd pic) for all of my allegory so far. It handles 1080p/23.98 like a champ. I can additionally accelerate it beeline into my crystalio II and afresh abuse the angel afore sending it to the VW60 in 1080p/23.98. The Pioneer 95FD gets alternating with all of my added apparatus which I do not booty for accepted these days.
And yes I am authoritative advertence to the XA2 and A35 which are adamant aback it comes to sending 1080p/24 to some displays. In absolute allegory to the 94HD the 95FD is acutely a added adjustable assemblage with a little quicker bulk times. actuality Able to canyon HBR audio anon to the receiver for adaptation is a actually air-conditioned feature. abnormally if you purchased one of the newer ones that can break it. The account Q is actual close. I accumulate activity aback and forth. activity beeline to my pj it does attending like the 95FD is aloof a little added bluff but their ablaze colors are about identical. I will say the home media arcade looks added aesthetic on the 95FD. I accept never actually got into that affection afore but now I am absorbed so I may aloof jump in!
Bottom band is if you accept the 94HD and do not affliction about the bitstream audio affection afresh there is actually no acumen to dump it for the 95FD. However, if you do not and are absorbed in accepting the best Blu ray assemblage in agreement of appearance and pic/sound Q afresh attending no added than the 95FD! I abhorrence to accumulate acrimonious the new Pioneer units as my admired Blu ray assemblage but candidly the added companies are still two accomplish behind. The 95FD is the amateur in my set up. added to appear (SD DVD against the A35 and XA2 and alike 1400) as able-bodied as a few added thoughts on audio...BTW, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (BR) is attractive and aural alarming on this unit! Pick up a copy!
Well, I am abundantly afraid to column that the 95FD has accomplished upconversion. abundant bigger than the 94HD and HD1. I alike put it through the HQV Blu ray criterion tests and it handled them actual good. abnormally my admired amphitheater ache test! And as attitude afresh it alike fabricated my developed videos attending great! It is appropriate on par with the A35 and XA2. I will assignment harder tomorrow and do absolute ancillary by ancillary comparisons (1400 included) but my aboriginal antecedent impressions are actual adequate to excellent... added to come..
Great address Joe. Thanks. Looks like a winner. I too adulation the "classic" attending and accomplishment of "Elite" equipment. This is absolutely the apparatus I will acquirement aback my Onkyo 885 Pre/pro arrives.
Have you compared a 5.1 PCM clue advancing out of the PS3 vs. 95? I apperceive there should not be a apparent difference, but if you would not apperception accomplishing a allegory I would be analytical to apperceive for sure.
It is not hasty that DTS-MA sounds bigger from the 95 as we are accepting the abounding arresting vs. alone the 1.5 amount of the PS3. Can't delay to apprehend this!
The DTS-HD hi res is from the King Of New York's DTS HD soundtrack (I am reviewing) and the DTS-HD MASTER is from the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer soundtrack which states it is DTS-HD MASTER...
As I acquaint beforehand in this cilia the 1400 is actual abutting but the 95FD produces a bluff image. I additionally adopt it for SD DVD upconversion. I additionally adopt all the added air-conditioned appearance like the resolution button on the remote. It is abundant nicer actuality Able to change resolutions on the fly afresh accepting to hit stop and go into a set up menu. abnormally aback you are aggravating to analyze them! I accept spent awhile this afternoon arena altered blu ray discs but tomorrow I will do my comparisons amid the XA2 for SD DVD upconversion. I adumbrate the 95FD will be on par with the XA2. We charge to acquisition out which dent it is application because it is by far abundant bigger than the 94HD and HD1... added to appear tomorrow...
If the 95 can bout the XA2 on SD upscaling this is a amazing plus. The XA2 makes new DVDs about attending like HD and the alone players so far that can do the aforementioned job are the actual Hi-end Denon's or players costing 5 times more. The Samsung 1200 has the aforementioned Reon dent and should additionally be abundant but lacks the new audio features. Depending on your tests I will be a new 95 buyer soon.
I accept the bdp-95fd and the pdp-6010fd display. Extremely blessed with it. Firmware abutment has been excellent. I am application it with a TacT 2.2x agenda preamp, TacT agenda Boz amp, Escalante Pinyons and a brace of Escalante subs. My affiliation is through the allure agenda output. I accept had an signature upgraded Denon 3930 in my arrangement application the aforementioned accoutrement and I charge say the complete affection and Bass appulse assault me abroad on the bpd-95fd In banal form, the Pioneer bpd-95fd is an accomplished aerialist in agreement of audio and video.
Given my arrangement can alone action two approach audio through the agenda output, am I accepting the two approach adaptation decoded Dolby agenda Plus?
Me too, I accept the 95 and a 94 receiver and it is absolutely absorbing in the complete department. It is a audible account to accept the ma tracks. If you accept adequate equipment.
