Hi, a friend of mine is selling a brand new Pioneer DV355 for around P8,600. Is that a good buy? I know its a good price for a Pioneer DVD player, but has anyone here used this unit before, and how is its performance? I've searched the web for reviews but there aren't many since its pretty much a newly released unit.

I bought the same model three months ago, so far I never encountered any problem with it. I was able to play R1 and R3 disk with some disk already with lots of scratches. Still it played. You got the value of your money.

Does your friend offer warranty on this?

FYI, this is sold at around P8,900.00 on appliance stores which has 1 year warranty.

sowy · « **Reply #35 on:** Oct 16, 2002 at 03:19 PM »

Yup, there's a 1 year warranty. Is it any good?

OK ang Pioneer sa branded DVD players. It sometimes reads discs which can't be read by my SAST...

hi there!

If u hav a citibank cc, you can avail of the special promo happenin now at sm appliance and other participating shops. I bought mine today, in paylite mode of payment, so this is defered for 6 months, i will pay 1600 per month upto 6 month. So if you add the 1600 x 6 = 9600 minus the units cash base price 8790 so 810 is the interest for 6 months! not bad and kasali kapa sa beetle promo nila.

Hi Guys! I have encountered the yamaha dvd player which will look great if matched with a yamaha a/vr which i'm planning to buy within a few days.

Anyone who have encountered this dvd player from yamaha? Won't it have a problem reading DVDs unlike Pioneer?

Thanks to those who would comment on this one. $:-\$

inox,

Pioneer 355 got good reviews here..look for that thread started by xander.I also own a pioneer dvd player the dvd 533k almost same function as the 355 only the karaoke function is added to 533k..so far no problems were encountered.Even P-Disc were read very well by my Pioneer player.

Courage · « **Reply #43 on:** Oct 18, 2002 at 09:29 AM »

ehehehe naka paylite din nga ang akin eh ehehehehehe...

Courage · « **Reply #44 on:** Oct 18, 2002 at 09:42 AM »

inox,

i auditioned the Yammy S520 at the D' Cinema in festival mall.. i also auditioned the Pioneer 355....they are at the same price range. I bought the Pioneer..mas reliable kasi eh..and isa pa the yammy is china made though yung parts nya is Japan..

Isa pang ayaw ko sa yammy is ang pangit nang display nya dun sa harap nang DVD player..pati yung menu hindi rin maganda...

I have a Yammy RXV520 avr and oks na oks ang Pioneer 355 sa kanya..i replaced my Sony DVP-S345 with the pioneer..

Sayang! Late ko na nakita yung mga replies. I got mine at 8,600 from my friend. Should have asked for an additional discount or bought it from Anson's. $:-\$

But I was testing it last night and it works great! Basic player lang but it had no problem playing all my VCDs and DVDs. Haven't tested its multi-region functionality yet though... has anyone tested that?

jimmylr · « **Reply #46 on:** Oct 18, 2002 at 09:54 AM »

Have anyone tested this model with RCE R1 disk?

Courage · « **Reply #47 on:** Oct 18, 2002 at 10:25 AM »

Okey, Kindly post your result to this thread after testing The Patriot. Although I'm pretty much satisfied with this model I dont have any feedback if it's RCE free too. Basically, majority of pioneer dvds can play RCE disk but I still dont have any confirmation if this particular model can also play RCE. Since this is just a new model. Just in case it cannot play The Pariot dvd, try to insert and play any R1 disk first for awhile then try it again. Thanks in advance!

If i am not mistaken nakikita rin sa model na to yung Bit Rate on how the DVD was being recorded...Ganitong model din kasi yung binili ko para sa father ko..try nyo to look sa display.Please correct me if i am wrong

Courage · « **Reply #50 on:** Oct 18, 2002 at 01:36 PM »

dex,

ur right makikita din nga dito yung bitrate..parang dun sa sony ko na player...ang kagandahan lang nang sony is makikita mo rin yung layer change...kaya everytime na mag quick pause yung movie na checheck ko agad kng layer change sya or disc problem...sa pioneer bitrate lang makikita mo

dexterc · « **Reply #51 on:** Oct 18, 2002 at 02:34 PM »

Akala ko nag kamali ako..saglit ko lang kasi na break in yung player ng erpat ko..inuwi agad sa amin..just got it for 8500 cash sa ansons landmark

Courage · « **Reply #52 on:** Oct 19, 2002 at 11:29 AM »

Talaga palang pinaka mura sa Ansons ..sayang malayo lang kasi ako eh..kaya abensons lng kaya kong marating ehehehe

inox,

Have your tried R1 disk on your Unit? Mine was lock to R3, i thought this is Region free, sayang dami pa namang pinadala saking R1 movies.

Poorboy

jimmylr · « **Reply #54 on:** Oct 23, 2002 at 09:00 AM »

You can try to unlock your unit with the local service center of Pioneer. I think the charge for such is around 500 pesos.

Courage · « **Reply #55 on:** Oct 23, 2002 at 10:23 AM »

Yup 500 nga

Poorboy · « **Reply #56 on:** Oct 23, 2002 at 11:58 AM »

Saang Pioneer service center? kasi nag inquire ako sa Edison cor Buendia eh, nakausap ko yung Danny, sinisingil ako ng P1k, lalo pa akong napa mahal, ksi nung bumili ako yung sa Ambassador Appliance Center eh binibigay P8,700 multi region, kaya hanap ako ng medyo mababa sa Anson Makati ako napunta. Binigay sakin ng P8,500 so naka save ako ng P200 yun naman pala naka lock sa R3 naman. Kung tanong ko kaya dun sa Salesman ng Pioneer sa Anson kung pano maun-lock to then bigyan ko nalang ng P200? pagka alam ko may code lang ito eh, kundi sa Unit or sa Remote nya.
Hindi ko tuloy ma enjoy yung R1 disk.

Courage · « **Reply #57 on:** Oct 23, 2002 at 12:41 PM »

I think yung pioneer eh may sinasaksak na CD software to unlock it eh

Poorboy,

Try contacting: Manny, 0919-833-9728 (or 6728).

I was referred to him when I bought my Pioneer 535 a year ago.
