This is a high end Blu Ray and CD player, playing perfectly, no issues. Lots of reviews online, but this is a fixed region A player. Would suit someone who already owns of lot of region A discs or wants a high end CD player. Would prefer pick up as this is very well built (even the remote is metal) and as a result, this is very heavy.

*Although a lot of Blu Ray discs now are multizoned (A, B and C), if you have a lot of NZ Blu Ray discs that are Region B only (those won’t play). First 2 photos are from the Net, the rest are of the actual item.

The Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD was a high-end Blu-ray player praised for its exceptional build quality and top-tier audio and video performance. Key features included dual HDMI outputs, an advanced audio section with Wolfson DACs for each channel, and separate power supplies for audio and video to minimize interference. While considered a benchmark for its time, its main drawback was its high price point, and it notably lacked support for SACD and DVD-Audio playback.
