Customer Reviews

Excellent All Region PAL/NTSC DVD Upconverting Player
The correct model of this Pioneer DVD player is suppose to be DV-400V-S

Basically what happened is that some people took the original Pioneer DV-400V-S and modified the hardware to play ALL Region and PAL as well.

The hardware modification makes this DVD player the best out there, but it does break your warranty. Pioneer will not service this unit. If you break it, you gotta buy a brand new one.

Despite the fact that there is no warranty, this thing plays it ALL. Really nice piece of equipment! It plays EVERYTHING except for HD-DVDs or Blue-Ray.

PAL and NTSC discs work, Any region, let it be a DVD-R or a CD-R.
It is DivX certifed and I think it can play WMA/WMV files.

HDMI output for this unit is excellent so one can enjoy an up-converted digital signal. No need for any component cables. One single HDMI cable and you are set for audio and video.

The up-conversion is great! Reminder that this is an up-conversion and not an upscale. The DVD player does not have a Faroudja chip to de-interlace and then scale the signal.

Only down fall for this unit, is that it takes like 5-6 seconds to start up. I have no idea why, but it works perfectly other wise.

Will Not Play Region 2 Discs
Purchased this unit as I specifically wanted to play region 2 discs, which I found to my dismay it would not. When I called Pioneer, they said that they do not make an all region player and could not support my unit. On the box the unit came in, there was a sticker saying the unit had been modified to support all regions. This voided my warranty according to Oliver at Pioneer. This unit was puchased thru All Region and have been unable to call them for support. (Can't find a phone #) If anyone can help,sure would appreciate it

See It All
I happened to buy some DVDs that were available only in PAL. I also had some CDVideos plus some karaoke discs. This Pioneer player is terrific . . . it plays all formats plus has HDMI to "upgrade" regular DVDs to almost HD quality. Lives up to Pioneer's reputation.
