This blu ray is so quite, the picure quality& sound is superb, it goes great with the SC07 pioneer elite av receiver, get it you wont regreat it , angelo

The BDP-23FD seems comparable? NOT! it is in that it plays blu-ray. I have had this player for a long time and I can tell you it's a bit slow to me, but I have had it for a long time and after all the firmware updates over the months it is faster and very reliable. When it first came out, there were issues, but now it plays everything without a problem. Every place I look at reviews they say how incredible the video is. I agree the video is amazing and I would buy another pioneer once they have a universal player because not only are they great blu-ray players, but they look really good too. This one has a touch sensitive interface on the component and you can just barley touch it and it works. It is so cool. I have called pioneer on the weekends and there was always someone there to work with me when I fist bought it. As I said there were many firmware issues and I had a problem they didn't know about. Once the firmware update came out everything worked great. I can't remember the last time I had to update it. I gave it 4 stars because I still think it's a bit slow, but hey the video is awesome!
