First the good about the Pioneer BDP-51FD Blu-Ray player: it is well-built and a real looker. The appearance oozes quality from all angles and it looks right at home with higher-end components. Video performance is top-notch and draws you into whatever movie or disc you're watching while its audio capabilities let each soundtrack sound as good or better than any movie theater. The rear panel offers plenty of connections, including multi-channel analog outputs, which I consider to be a big plus. Now the bad: the player takes a long time to initialize Blu-Ray discs, usually around a minute or so. That may not sound bad, but it's like dead air on radio broadcasts. Also, the Resume Playback feature does not work if you remove the disc or power off the player.......which means you have to go through the tedious initialization process again. Other than that, this excellent player delivers performance that will satisfy almost any videophile / audiophile out there.Read full review

This is an excellent unit. It does take a short moment to initialize and operate, not operating as fast as other units. Otherwise the picture is high quality and the features normal for a unit of this price range.

i purchased this unit used for eighty bucks. for the price i think its a great player. for those who say its worth 600 i would strongly disagree. i also have a cheap blue-ray player that was under 100 new and there is not much difference in the picture, the sound may be slightly better but not by a huge amount.i have listened to music and movies and the sound is great on both players. i would have been extremely disappointed if i would have paid list price after having a cheap player that seems to be equal in picture and sound plus has 3d. for what you can get these used for its a great player. i must also include that the build quality seems far greater than my cheap player, it has substantially more weight and size to it and is a much nicer looking unit. just feels like a quality unit but that doesn't necessarily mean it is. time will tell.Read full review
For a old school product it does very well in the audio department with various connections. Picture quality is great and adjustable .The only two draw backs are you can't update the firmware anymore and is is a little slow opening up Blu-ray disc but once playing just pretty flawless . As long as it last it's a keeper for me and I do own newer Blu-ray players but i don't like their audio options. If you like more audio options this is a great unit

Beautiful player, arrived as described, and has performed quite well. It takes a couple of minutes from power on, to play, which is common for this unit. The picture is great whether blue ray, or DVD with great upscaling. Quite pleased!
