Video Performance: Sharp, Bright, Accurate Pictures
With Pioneer's PureCinema progressive scan circuit, the player faithfully reproduces original film frames using 2:3 pull-down inverse telecine technology with a progressive display. If a DVD does not indicate telecine conversion, the PureCinema circuitry will process the signal with advanced motion detection and create a new progressive image. This helps to ensure that the final image seen on the television is as close as possible to what the director had in mind when creating the original movie.The Pioneer Elite DV-46AV connects directly to a television via the HDMI connection to ensure a single, pure digital connection that eliminates unnecessary processing steps. By limiting the need to convert video from analog to digital and back, it's easier to provide the best picture quality. Pioneer's Twin Pixel Resolution Expander technology up-converts traditional DVD video signals to display on high definition screens. Consumers with an HDTV at home will especially appreciate the ability to make a standard DVD look more like HDTV.
The DV-46AV has 10-bit digital video processing to output the highest quality signal through HDMI. It uses a 108MHz/12-bit video digital to analog converter (DAC) for a clearer picture and sharper image.

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.

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.

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.
