PS2 Replacement

Aug 12, 2003 - By MK (United Kingdom)

Media Supported: DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW. (all accepted by the player)

Format Supported: DVD-Video, VCD, SVCD, XVCD, XSVCD, MP3CD (all bit rates), WMACD (all bit rates), Fuji film CD, Kodak PhotoCD, JPEGCD, CDDA. (all accepted by the player)

This DVD player supports multi-region discs, I have tried all the different regions.

So far have not experienced any problems, seems to be working perfect especially by supporting the DVD+R format. Operation seems to be very quiet while playing any disc and the loading times are very fast. As soon as you insert the disc it will boot up straight away without any delays.

The DVD player has very nice and simple menu and the OSD (on screen display) is very detailed and can be fully customised to display what you want.

So far all the software that I have used to make DVD movies seemed to be accepted by the player without any problems. The DVDs played back perfectly with crystal quality picture and an equally impressive audio output.

Top Notch

Oct 21, 2003 - By Amazon Customer

I bought this player as i have got a few DVDs from the states. Thinking that it might have some invalid warranty or some crappy picture, i was completely proven wrong. The picture is great, it is fast, it has JPEG picture playback so you can play CDs from your local photo store.

Great player, great price, you'd be a fool not to buy. Oh, and the great name of Pioneer at this price! I've seen VCRs more expensive by crappy makes!

BUY TODAY!

Terrific DVD player from Pioneer

Nov 28, 2003 - By Amazon Customer

Terrific DVD player from Pioneer. Awesome picture
and sound quality at this price. What I found particularly
useful about this player is one can fine tune the picture quality to one’s particular taste. A great player, at an even more great price. No way would you get one at this price on the
High Street. Go on buy one now you’ll be pleased you did!

Christmas with "Finding Nemo"

Dec 17, 2003 - By Amazon Customer

My old Panasonic DVD player broke after 18 months, I paid £150 at the time and was not happy.

I was keen to get the "Finding Nemo" DVD for my son this Christmas. I was also keen to spend less money than before and get a multi-region player with more functionality.

The DVD player turned up on time and worked straight out of the box - perfect.

I ordered a region 1 DVD of "Finding Nemo" from amazon as well to test out the multi-region functionality.

It worked perfect!!!!!

Very happy

Superb value for money

Feb 13, 2004 - By R. J. Williams (Clevedon, UK)

I ordered this player after my long in the tooth Samsung finally gave up the ghost, the reviews and price swinging it.

The most important features for me were

*Multi-region out of the box, no hacks to fiddle about with.
*Picture-Excellent
*Sound-More than excellent, rigged up to my 5.1 system it's a joy!

Set-up is dead easy using the remote, sound is connected to my Surround amp via a digital co-axial, picture via s-vhs to scart.

The first thing I checked was the compatibility of disc's, no problem with R1, R4 (Finding Nemo) or dvd-r's (which my Sammy 709 would spit out!)

All in all I'm one very happy movie fan!

(Oh and here's the math, my Sammy 709 cost me £250 nearly 5 years ago,this far superior machine cost me £160 LESS!!
that's the cost of 10 DVDs!!!)
