I don't know,I don't have one I just found the pictures online. I would like to find one though. I would guess it also didn't make it to the states just like the D-1000. It took me 5 years of searching to come up with a D-1000, it will probably take another 5 or more to find it.

Good enough to shave in it?
Hehehe more photos to follow but one hell of a surround system with those DUAL VOICE COILS the ROOM just SHAKES!... and the 15's in the HPM150's just adds some extra kick, but althou not ELITE the 2 12' Pioneer 800 watt cars subs under the floor boards I think adds the cake to the icing? hehehe

Rears kick it!
I know don't say ELITE but the DSS speakers were / are in the cats...
thats *top down* 2 DSS 5's , 1 DSS 7, 2 DSS 9's for the Rear Surrounds. Well actually the 9's are hooked to the center channel and run as such or the stereo channel. the 5's are the rear surrounds and the 7's actualy share one M90 side with another set of 7's in the front as the center channel when not running the 9's as center. Kind of crazy the way I have it hooked up since the M90's have sort of a pass thru and the A/B speaker switches I can hook things up a bit crazy more to follow on that...
Yeah those bottoms are them famous EV 16 ohm 20 watt speakers they just are so sweet, really need larger cabs and the 15's also in them...

Not a bad clear 5.1 surround processor, and not that bad of a preamp, the bass boost and some of the speaker crossover and sub settings are rather nice. shame they never made a newer one of these with DTS and maybe a FM tuner setup... run a Tivo box to it via RCA and TOSLINK both digital and analog signals have rather distinct different sounds, the DIGITAL goes 20-20khz but the analog inputs go 10-100khz it is really a night and day sound, rather pleasing at the analog and she has no hiss whatsover unless the source recording has it... 008%tmd and about 98snr on digital the analog shows no snr but its clean... just again shame she's limited. My goal is a ONKYO high end A/V upgrade and still run the M90's as amps to the speakers and maybe the internal A/V amps to the DSS 5's as sat speakers for a 9.2 setup...
I did not mention that all DSS 5's now have the external Radio Shack ( yeah well is that a bad word in here? ) Linaeum tweeters hooked up wow does that add something...

A/V fronts...
Well just to hint of what the front looks like... I am runing 2 pairs in parallel to lower the ohms and make em sing, if you look hard you see the extra tweeters also in front of them. the center channel runs off one side of a M90 and the Subs off the other... I had been running DSS 7's for centers off one amp (4th one) but I had to take that to the man cave! Sound pretty dam good in a 24x36 garage on the long walls, alls she has is Dell laptop to the inputs and Pandora or access to my server for music and well it makes any man cave a happy place... Hahahaha
My goal is to move the speakers around to basically have the HPM150's as the rears with a set of 9's a set of 9's up front next to the TV and maybe 4 DSS 5's as the center channel on top. and keep 2 DSS 5's in the rear and or a set on the side walls... One thing I must say and people visiting have agreed them 5's for a 10" woofer have some of the best drums sounds they have every heard... gotta love that dual coil setup... I always take Simple Speakers surround sealer and paint the backs of any paper cone and the surrounds to stiffen them up, and it adds a punchy good sound to them, I first discovered this by just trying to preserve some Jensen Triax II 6x9's back in the day, (and I have 15 sets of them, that shows my love! ) and it really made them sound much tighter and better, was not my intention but was done to preseve the paper cone from any car moisture... you may want to try it... it just adds something, what they call it Q? Well call me nuts if you don't think it improves them! You should hear my 77 Chevy G20 Shorty van with them in... Pioneer GM120 and GM40's to each pair in BIAMP mode with the CD696 passive amp eq's... tons' of CD-7 eq's plugged into each other and well just a sweet sound. Maybe seeing that soon on the cover of a Hot Rod mag. and sure to feature the 80's Pioneer Jensen sound system... along with the old school look of the Van... You can see the route 61 model off to the left and what she looks like...

Pioneer DVL-90 found on the street
I found this on the sidewalk with a sign saying "please take me". I schlepped it 1/2 block to my apartment on the hope that it might produce decent CD audio. Have not yet plugged it in. Anyone have experience using this as a CD player? How are the converters?

Does it say "Legato Link" on the front? I use my DVL-91 as my main CD transport into a DAC usually, but it sounds very good via analog as well. So do my DVL-909s. My DVL-90 has been on the shelf for too long for me to remember, but I have no reason to believe it's not also very good.
Oh, wait...here y'go:

So I've been enjoying the CD audio from my street find DVL-90. I hooked it up to my bedroom system to demo and it works! CDs sound very musical through my Sansui 5000A receiver and Tannoy speakers.
Then, coincidentally, the cheap DVD player in my living room just died. So I think I'm going to plug the Elite unit into my LR system and use it for the purpose for which it was built: DVD playback.
One problem: no remote. They're available on Ebay, but, it would be great if I could just program my universal Time Warner Cable remote to control the DVL-90. I tried punching in a couple of 3-digit codes I found online for Pioneer laserdisc players. No luck!
Does anyone have any experience programming a universal remote to work with this unit? Thanks for any suggestions!

The player should use pioneer DVD codes so try inputing the codes for a pioneer DVD player.

Bumping because it's lost.

I'm using a thoroughly modern Pioneer Elite component as the digital front-end of my otherwise vintage Pioneer rig - the N-50 Network Audio Player. It's killer - has 192kHz / 32 bit DAC, and plays every music file format. I have it on my home LAN playing lossless music from my iTunes library...some of which is 96/24...and it's really very impressive. Pioneer still makes nice stuff!
How is the internet radio on it? Expensive, though.:drool:

Internet Radio is pretty good. There are some stations that stream at 320kbps that sounds impressive. The N-50 has an iPhone-iPad app that makes it easier to use than the remote.
It's not cheap at $599, but it's far from the most expensive audio component in the world, and since it has digital inputs, it can serve as the systems primary DAC, and it sounds excellent in that capacity.

New belts and idler tires and I`m back to a pair again.
Great! Now you can dub your precious cassette collection!

Haha!
You make a good tongue in cheek point though. I've listened to both a bit with some of my cassettes both prerecorded and recordings I have made but I have yet to make a tape. I will eventually but these are really mechanical candy I think. They work great and sound nice but I do not have a cassette deck in any of the cars, if I want portable music I use my phone. In short they are just beautiful, functional examples of obsolete audio engineering.
I love em.
