Pioneer was the first company to offer a "universal" audio/video player, the DV-AX10, back in 2000. And while many manufacturers have yet to produce such a machine, Pioneer makes several different models to choose from. The DV-AX10 is reportedly an amazingly good player, but it costs an equally amazing $6000, which puts it out of the reach of all but the most serious and affluent audio/video enthusiasts. Pioneer now has two more affordably priced Elite-branded universal players including the DV-45A, which is the less expensive of the two and the subject of this review.

At a suggested retail price of $700, the DV-45A is still pricey when compared to most standard DVD-V players, but it is the least-expensive universal audio/video player currently available from any major manufacturer.
