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.

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!

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!

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!!!)

360 and 464 are both great budget players especially multi-region ones, however if not to bothered about the overall design of the players, would go for the 360 as its cheaper and the specs are the same as the 464. The 464 just has a different design to match one of pioneer av receivers,
