Pioneer BDP-95FD reviewed by Crispin Siebert

November 21, 2008



I bought my Pioneer BDP-95FD from Buy.com. This is my first BD player. I was waiting for the format war to end once it did I read a review Cnet.com on the internet that said you might consider waiting to making the jump to BD until the next generation of players to come out on the market.

The loading does not take too long From what I gather it is much faster then first generation models. I was upgrading coming from a Samsung 5 disc up converting DVD player and that thing was slow so I'm very satisfied. The picture isgreat and the audio is great too. I don't even have it connected to a amp that does Dolby Tru-HD or DTS-MA. That will be my next purchase.

There is only one thing that I'm some what disappointed with the player has the Pioneer Theater Sync feature. Which works great with my Phillips amp. But for some reason the DVD remote will only control the volume for the TV not the amp. So I still have to use a second remote for volume on my Sony amp. This makes no sense to me.

We watched Troy, Terminator 3, Terminator 2, and Mission Impossible III on BD so far. Batman Begins wasgreat from an audio and picture quality issue. My wife said she had no clue that a DVD could look that good.

I also watched Band of Brothers on a SD DVD and that look pretty good too.

One of the best features of this player is its size. They were able to reduce the size of the player to just over a 2" height and only 8-3/4" deep.

The next generation model due out in the fall it will cost more but it decodes all the audio inside the player.

Overall five day in I'm very happy with the purchase and I'm happy I waited for this model.
