Digital camera reviews of New Pioneer DV 420K - All Region Free Multi System / Multi Region 1080p DVD Player with HDMI Upconverting & USB
Digital camera Review: A GOOD MULTI-REGIONAL DVD PLAYER
Summary: 3 Stars
I usually purchase a Philips dvd player because they are easy to unlock (play dvds from all regions) but I got tired of replacing them as they usually lasted 12-15 months. I decided to pay a little more and try this one from Pioneer. After reading reviews here, I was prepared to "unlock" this player as well, if needed. I am happy to report that this played dvds from any region, straight out of the box from a third party seller.
The controller is scary light and slightly bigger then my old one but most importantly, contains a dedicated subtitle button. I like to have direct access to subtitles when watching foreign films and other brands do not always include this. I had no problems with the performance of the controller or the player at first but after a few weeks of heavy use, the player sometimes gets finicky. Sometimes it starts up in the USB mode but it is easy enough to fix by turning it off and re-starting it. A handful of times, the player has made a whirring sound when playing a dvd. This noise can easily get lost in the movie itself - except for the quiet part. Annoying but not annoying or often enough to return. The dvd player does keep your spot in a movie in case you need to turn it off or even exchange dvds. I am not sure how long it holds place in the memory but I continued to play a dvd 3 days later and it started in the spot I left off. Love that feature.
This player has played any dvd I have thrown at it - smudged rental dvds or even copies. I have tried Region 2/PAL (UK) and Region 0 (all regions) as well as Region 1 (US & Canada) and they all played without problems. I will second another reviewer's point about the flimsy disc tray. When placing a dvd into the tray, you can feel how flimsy it is and it looks like it could break but so far so good. Also, it takes a while for the player to get up and running (30-45 seconds) but most players have this issue. All of these things are minor when compared to the rest of its features and price.
If you are looking for a reasonably priced dvd player that will play all regions, I recommend this one with the understanding that you are getting a lower end model.
