Best yet in the price range, By bookworm (Hawaii, United States) - See all my reviews

We originally tried the Samsung DVD-1080P9 after moving up from an old 480i Sony, but the 9P had trouble reading some of the more scratched up DVDs. Also, the Sony would remember your last play spot for the last 6 DVDs that you played, which the Samsung didn't. Not quite satisfied with the Samsung we decided to try out the Pioneer DV-420V-K and after one night of fiddling we're returning the Samsung.As other's have said, it has all the important remote buttons on the face of the player, it has a high quality video output, and I have had no problems yet reading scratched up DVDs. As a bonus it remembers at least the last two DVD's play spots which is very handy if you have kids and want to swap out parent's material for the kidstuff. I also like the setup menu and manual better on the Pioneer. Highly recommended.

I received this today, but I am forcced to return the player to Amazon.Be forewarned, this is no longer a multi-region player! On the back panel where the US power cord comes out there is an icon (a "1" on top of a global-map grid) that indicates it is a Region 1 player. Indeed, it ONLY plays US DVDs. Non-US DVD's are ejected with the TV screen message "Incompatible disc region number Cant play disc" I am returning this to Amazon. I know that Customer Service has their procedures, but they wanted to know if the player was "defective" and never quite got that is not the multi-region player described by the earlier Reviewers. The date of manufacture is October 2009. I can only surmise that Pioneer made it Region 1-only starting with that date of manufacture. By the way, for USA DVD's, the picture is excellent.

One of the best DVD players left on the market, By Jeffrey Morse (Oroville CA USA) - See all my reviews

I recently bought a 37" HDTV and promptly bought one of the new sub-$200 Blu-Ray players (a Vizio). I wasn't particularly impressed with the Blu-Ray picture quality (it was good, but didn't bowl me over). The DVD upscaling was slightly worse and the DVD audio was very weak.I sent it back and purchased the Pioneer DV-420-K. I'm very pleased with it. The construction seems solid, the picture quality using an HDMI and set to 1080P is just awesome and the audio is strong and crystal clear. I especially appreciate the various audio options for increasing the volume of dialog in movies, evening out the loudest and softest portions of the audio (Audio DRC for Dolby Digital). I haven't had the opportunity (or need) for adjusting the picture quality, but there are a number of options there for color, contrast and sharpness. All in all its a great player and definitely worth the $89. It struck me that I can get a "top of the line" upscaling DVD player like the... Read more |
