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

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...Read more
