Hi folks, I am wondering if you guys know the US equivalent model of this player? Any experience with this player at all? Your input would be appreciated. Cheers
I can't find any info if this one is Windows Media compatible...I like all the features of the 563-AS, however the DV-655a is only US$149, including shipping, but the Windows Media is an issue for me... thanks

The 563 can't play Windows Media files. Most Panasonics can. Have a look at their DVD-S55S and the DVD-RP91.
I feel you pain. I shot my entire CD collection to high quality VBR (about 325 KBps) WMA and none of the car stereos on the market could play them including the Pioneer 8400, except the Alpine I bought.

Hi all,
I'm thinking to import a DV-563AS, my only doubt is about the region, I'm brazilian(region 4) and this player is closed to region 1. Someone knows how to unlock this player ?
Thanks.

I am a bit confused on this DV-655A. I am in the US Air Force stationed in japan. Now we have our own store on base for all of our shopping needs. All of our products come from US distributors, but I bought this DVD player basically for it's price and abilities to play multi formats i.e DVD audio and SACD. I am getting ready to go home now and see if it plays a dvd I bought here in Japan a few years ago. I don't understand how this DVD player was brought into our store...I read the instructions and they keep referring to Taiwan model and Taiwan is a different region code than the US, but it plays my US code 1 dvd's...hmmmmm. Maybe someone else can figure this out.

Just like to ask if you guys know of a pioneer player or any brand for that matter w/c plays video 8. Not a combo player w/ vhs or dvd.

I THINK YOUR DVD PLAYER YOU GOT IN JAPAN WAS ORDERED IN THE US FROM TAIWAN AND SHIPED TO JAPAN. SINCE IT WAS ORDERD FROM US, THEY FIT IT WITH REGON 1. BUT IF YOU CAN PLAY A JAP DVD IT MUST BE REGON FREE

Jay,
Pioneer DV 655A can play all region software as discribed in the user manual. I've tried region 1 and 3 software and both played well.
