Model Purchased: Pioneer DV-393 All Region DVD player
Order Number: 841359Product Review:
We purchased this DVD player for our library at Berry College. Teachers check our the DVD player for classes to show DVDs from varying countries. We were very interested to see how this DVD player would work given how often it would be used and knowing that DVD region codes were different for different countries. We needed a player with no complications. Well after more than a year of a lot of use the player is still working well with no complaints.

This has been a good solid DVD player with no problems experienced through nearly a year of use in our language lab at Macalester College. We purchaed it because our professors bring in DVDs from all over the world for the language programs. We have had no complaints and the hardware conversion technology has been easy to use. It is just plug and play with no menu set up necessary. Students in language lab stations use the Pioneer DVD daily so it has seen much use and with good results.

We purchased 4 of these code free DVD players for our Presentation Services Dept. of the Douglass Library at Rutgers. They have performed flawlessly, the hardware conversion doing a great job. They are just plug and play. These are used on a daily basis by faculty. We rent them out as well and they are used for tough tasks like recording tapes onto DVD. The main feature we needed was the international DVD playback and we wanted a sturdy player with excellent hardware chipset technology. This (World Clad) conversion has done the trick well as we have had no problems in almost a year of owning them.

I have to thank Jeff so much for informing me about this player. It works like greased lightning! Everything I have played mostly Region 2 DVDs from England have just played beautifully on this player. The World Clad conversion is just plug and play. I'm on a fixed income so this was a big purchase for me, but I just wanted to play these foreign discs and i love it. I ordered it on the 8th and it was delivered 3 days later.

I purchased the Pioneer DV 393-S Region Free DVD player to replace another region free DVD player I used in the past. The plug 'n play features were very attractive to me and the product works really well. I have used it primarily to view DVDs from Region 2, or the UK, as well as of course Region 1 DVDs. I would definitely recommend this product to someone else.

We are a film production company and receive submissions from all over the world, including Asia, Latin America and Europe. We really need DVD players that play all regions. We've been ordering zone free DVD players from you for 5 years. We buy Pioneer because we know they are a reputable brand. We like the Pioneer DV 393 S Region Free DVD players because we can treat it like any other simple-to-operate DVD player. Also, the product comes quick and does what they're supposed to do.

We had several foreign DVDs that we wanted to play from Germany. We’ve been very happy with the Pioneer DV 393S region free DVD player. It’s a good product bc it’s small in size and was very easy to install. Setting up the region free DVD player was a simple as setting up a Region 1 DVD player.
There are a lot of people out here in Silicon Valley that are looking for a DVD player like this- one that can play all region DVDs. I found your product because there was a write up about multi-code DVD players and the World Clad ICOS 725 technology. Yours was one of the Web sites mentioned.

My Pioneer DV 393S region free DVD player is working great. I was looking for a Region Free DVD player and heard good things about this model from friends who had them. After searching for NTSC, Pal and DVD players, I pulled up your site. I chose the Pioneer DV 393S region free DVD player because it was a solid model at a good price point.

"How do I like my region free DVD player? I love it! I absolutely love it! I travel quite a bit to England and always buy a bunch of DVDs while there.
Buying Experience:
I did a lot of research to find the right technology and your WorldClad ICOS 725 chipset lets me view all regions. I chose DVDCity.com for my Pioneer DV393S zone free DVD player because you had the best price, the most variety, and it went with my furniture. It works great. It is really easy to use and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Order Number: 841705Product Review:
I purchased the Pioneer Elite DV46A region free DVD player about a month ago. It's working really well. So far, I’ve played Region 1, Region 2 (Danish, English) and Region 4 (Australia, New Zealand) DVDs on it and they look great.
I absolutely would recommend the Elite's region free DVD player and its World Clad ICOS 725 chipset. If anyone has an interest in a DVD player that plays all regions, especially movies that are not available in the US, this is the product for you.
Buying Experience:
I was looking for region free DVD players on the internet and your name came up. I actually called back to the customer service department to tell them that their service was great. The sales person answered all of my questions and we received the player quickly.
