5.0 out of 5 stars not a counterfeit, September 21, 2005

This is not a counterfeit machine.
This was set to region free by the company that imports these machines from overseas.
Several companies in the US sell region free DVD players.
Some are 110-240 Volts because they come from another country and also exported to South America (region 4/NTSC)

1.0 out of 5 stars Agreed. No PAL., December 18, 2010

This review is from: Pioneer DV373S NTSC / PAL DVD Player (Electronics)

The other review is correct. If you go to the Pioneer website they do not have it listed as a model they sell. They did, however, sell a model called the DV-393S, which looks amazingly similar. I bought this in Japan and it does a fair job of viewing multi-region, but not multi-format.

1.0 out of 5 stars Counterfeit DVD Player--Scam Alert!, August 3, 2005

By 

Truth Teller (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews

The Pioneer DV-373S DVD player is a counterfeit machine! I received one as a gift and discovered that Pioneer doesn't make a PAL-NTSC converting multi-region DVD player. I spoke to a tech rep at Pioneer when I couldn't find the PAL NTSC converter features in the enclosed operating manual. That's when I knew there was a problem. The online features also tout the machine as a multi-region DVD player. Not so! It's only a region 1 (US only) machine. So for all the proclaimed NTSC-PAL multi-region compatable features, the Pioneer DV-373S is not made by Pioneer, has no PAL-NTSC capability, and is only a run-of-the-mill DVD NTSC region 1 player. Someone went to a great deal of trouble to create this bogus machine that seemingly answered the DVD lover's wildest dreams. (There is also a bogus JVC player with similar features that also is not made by JVC nor does it have the touted PAL-NTSC or multiregion features.) Notice that there are no meaningful reviews online of the Pioneer machine either. It's only offered thru distributors who were duped and not thru Pioneer. Don't be duped by this scam unless you'd like to also buy that $4,000 Rolex for only $59.95!
