Get the Best Picture from Your DVDs
Upgrade your DVD-watching experience on your HDTV, thanks to 1080p upscaling. This feature upscales DVD-quality movies to provide crisper details and richer colors when viewed on a compatible HDTV or monitor. With the Video Adjust Function, you can fine-tune various settings-- such as Sharpness, Contrast, and Hue-- to get the picture just right.

Add Clarity and Precision to Soundtracks and Music
To get the best experience from fast-paced and loud action scenes, the DV-220V-K's dialogue enhancement feature helps dialogue stand out from background sounds so that every word is clearly heard. Other features include Virtual Surround that enables surround sound effects from just two speakers, putting you in the middle of the action, and Dolby® Digital decoding that brings the movie-theater experience into your home cinema.

More than a DVD Player
The DV-220V-K is much more than a DVD player. The CD-to-USB recorder feature lets you rip CD tracks into MP3 files. Simply select the CD tracks you want, choose the quality for conversion to MP3 format, and the DVD player will record everything onto a USB stick that you connect via the player's USB port.

The DV-220V-K can also be used to play back your other digital content. The player is compatible with Windows Media® Audio (WMA) files and can show slide shows with incredible clarity, thanks to its HD JPEG playback feature. And you can really wow friends and family when you use the Photo+Music Mix feature to show off your photos complete with a custom soundtrack.

The DV-420V-K is compatible with a range of DVD and CD formats, including DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, DVR-R/+R DL (Video mode), DVD-R/-RW (VR mode, CPRM), SVCD, VCD, and CD-R/-RW, and even DivX® video.

A Compact Design for Compact Areas
Pioneer has filled all of these great features into a form that measures just a shade over 14 inches wide. It's an ideal DVD player for bedrooms, dorm rooms, or any place that you need to save a little space but don't want to skimp on features.

The DV-220V-K 1080p Upscaling DVD Player is covered by a 1 year warranty.

This review is from: Pioneer DV-220V-K HDMI 1080p Upscaling DVD Player (Electronics)

This player is really small, so it might not stack well with your other components.
The converted picture to 1080p is really amazing! (I don't feel like I need to get a Blue-Ray player...)

One small complain: to change mode from 4:3 to 16:9 you need to stop watching, go into the setup menu and do it.
It would be nice to have a button on the remote to do this.
(We just finished watching a DVD that had been recorded in 4:3, so it looked squished on our HD TV until we figured out how to change that aspect ratio...)

I love the Pioneer DV-220V-K HDMI 1080p Upscaling DVD Player. The USB port is great I hook my External hard drive up to the USB and can watch all the movies that's on my External hard drive. Thank you so much. Because most player don't have a USB port. love the product and will be buying one more. If you like to down load movies but can't play them back because it come in DivX format.Please buy one and I'm sure you will love it as much as I do. Toni

This review is from: Pioneer DV-220V-K HDMI 1080p Upscaling DVD Player (Electronics)

The DV-220V-K is a great little machine in most respects. For simple commercial DVD's the HDMI upscale sound and picture quality are impressive, as good as my HD satelite reception which, in my humble opinion, is excellent. Menu options for tweaking sound and picture are adequate and the size of the machine (14" wide vs 17" wide for most DVD players) is appreciated. I have two complaints. As stated in another review, I wish the player had more picture size options. It offers 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios in the initial setup and two zoom levels, both adequate for inspecting Johnny Depp's nasal hair but not much else. I hate the letterbox effect and I would really like an incremental zoom control of some kind on the remote. I can't compensate with my TV controls because my TV will stretch but it won't zoom. My second complaint is the skimpy operating manual. It tells you almost nothing about what effect the various menu contols will have so trial and error are the order of the day (be sure to set the picture resolution to the highest your TV can handle). In conclusion, I have to say that this player is far better in almost every respect than my previous purchase which was a Samsung F-1080 (big disappointment) and the price is better than right.
