Thanks for the feedback! This is some very rare positive feedback I've read about this player. Both the DV-434 and the DV-444 have been regarded as "joke" progressive scan DVD players since they don't have "film mode detection", according to the Secrets report (which actually tested the DV-434).

I guess using the interlaced output of the DV-444 would be a-ok. My DV-656a plays all of the formats you've mentioned and DVD-Audio as well.

Since you didn't find the DV-444, what player did you end up getting? Walmart is selling the DV-260 (another very new progressive scan Pioneer DVD player) for like $90. Maybe you could get that player and post a report here so I can decide if I should pick one up to evaluate.

Welcome to the forum!

Peace...
