Pioneer DV-444-S

I bought this DVD from Amazon, and I bought a Region 1 dvd, however it wont play, how do you make this DVD player multi-regional.

This is real value for money.plays almost everything. In case you are considering to enter the world of DVDs, this is a right choice.

This Pioneer DV-444-S DVD Player is fantastic!, It's better then any previous models I have bought. Any of your buyers who are thinking of getting a sony dv-305 over this model..DON'T BOTHER! I bought both models and the Sony was poor - the features were limited and the main thing "to get a Sony DVD player with an RGB scart you are looking at £500 plus" all of the models below this range don't have RGB! (what a con)

Don't waste your money, this Player has it all.

Plays SVCD (copied and original Discs)

VCD

CDR

CDRW

DVDR

DVDRW

MP3 playback

and of course DVD!

The design is superb!, just 55mm in height

The features are very handy

There is a 4+ picture selection for your taste

Sharpness setting for DVD's

DTS

Dolby Digital

MPEG

Twin Laser Scan (which is separate Laser's for both audio and picture scanning). A big bonus about this feature is it makes your DVD speed playback/Scene selection/Searching The best it can be. Don't you just hate it when the disc pauses to change layer on certain discs???....NOT ON THIS PLAYER!. I watched Gladiator at the point where the layer changes and it didn't stop..not once!

All in all this player is the best player I have owned and I will certainly be sticking to Pioneer from now on.

I have the dv-533k DVD player which is the exact asian model of the dv444. They are both the same in all respects - electronic and looks.

This is undoubtedly one of the best dvds (if not the best) in its cost level. It has all - outstanding sound (pioneer no.1 in this) and great picture. Don't save ur 100$ on toshiba 210e/1300. Choose pioneer. The best i can offer is to go to the shop and ask them to show u Matrix/ Star Wars scenes in it. Then it will b all clear to u as it is for me.

I have watched dvd movies using my computer but I was so tired of the noise, which the computer produced. You know all the fans, hard drives and the 40xcd and 12x dvd player. So I bought this little Pioneer DV-444s thingy and connected it to my one year old tv. A 32" widescreen tv (sharp 81gf-66e) but I got disappointed. The picture is in interlace mode. The picture also appears to be a little bit bent near the screen's edges (the sides) If somebody can help my with this I would be grateful. The two other tvs in my home show no problems with the dvd player, however they are old ones.

I have contacted pioneer, they said that I would have to turn off the 100hz function on the tv and adjust the colors. I did like they said but nothing good happened.

But this player is really good with other tv sets trust me.

You got to get this Pioneer DV444S DVD player! I burn DVDs using the Apple Superdrive and it works like a beauty. I love it!!!!!

I didn't know initially whether to cut costs and go for the Toshiba 210 or up costs and go for the marantz dv4100. I tried both in the end and chose the Pioneer DV-444S over both of them... do shop around - i paid £169 for mine in Dec 01

i compare to toshiba sd-5700 and sony DVP-NS700P..

Pioneer dv-444 DVD player is so much better performance, colors are vivid and sound is clear and deep..

I dont see the price is such a big factor...even pioneer dv-444 is so much cheaper but the quality is no questions to be ask.

The Pionner DV-444-S is one of the best DVD players i have ever seen. i mean , just as i opened the box it came in i knew this was a quality DVD player. If looks could kill, i wouldn't be sitting here right now. The DVD-444 has got it all , GREAT SOUND, GREAT PICTURE and GREAT LOOKS.

I have had many DVD players in my life (Panasonic, Mark, JVC and Toshiba DVD players) But my mind is clear This it the BEST dvd player on the marked right now . I mean if you want a nice looking 55mm thin KING DVD player Then this is your BEST FRIEND. I guarantee that your mates faces will twist and turn when they see your SUPER DVD Player,

the only bad thing is that you might end up with no friends beacuse of it. But then if you got the DVD-444 , WHO NEEDS FRIENDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
