On Friday night I was able to see both of these players operating. The Pioneer was hooked up to a Pioneer Elite plazma set witht he audio hooke up to a Denon 38006 receiver. A BD demo disc was operating. Well, it played but I was not wowed over what I saw. I do not know what kind of sound was being delivered to the Denon, however some of the demos had awsome surround sound.
In the same store, a Panasonic BD player was hooked up to a Sony Braveria set. They had a demo of what appeared to be high def. video. It looked quite good to my eyes with excellent color quality.
I was in Circuit City the night before. A Samsung BD player was hooked up to a 1080P Mitsubishi set and a avr-987 Denon receiver. The player had CARS playing on it and was being upconverted to 1080I. The picture looked quite good with excellent color quality. Sound quality was quite good too. Excellent surround quality was apparent from the Denon receiver over the Kef 3005 speaker system that was attached to the receiver.
Without having this equipment in my own home and being more familiar with it, I can only comment on what I see at the instant. I do not have the loot to buy this stuff anyway. The things that stood out on my observation was the Panasonic BD player and the Denon 3806 receiver.
