I too have the pioneer. Like dre said, it plays everything. It's not nearly as nice as the Marantz or Denon's mentioned above, but it's a helluva lot cheaper. It's 149 dollars at Best Buy.
The Model number is
DV 563A
The only things I don't like about it, is that it automatically shuts it's self off... Which I hate... and it supposedly doesn't play SVCD, just VCD. I haven't tried the SVCD, though.. So, I can't verify it.

btw,
The DVD-A and SACD discs are incredible. I picked up
American Beauty, Workingman's Dead, Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", Dark Side of the Moon, Sam Cooke "Live at the Copa," Eagles "Hotel California," The Band's "The Last Waltz." Neil Young's "Harvest" and a couple of other titles.. There's no comparison to the regular cd's.
I took the couple of hundred bucks I saved on this deck, and put it toward the titles above..
Peace,
Dave
