I got mine from DOM sa BS section for 5.1K.  The difference from the 410 is the CD to USB recording which was only availble in 610 before.  This is not a universal player, it cannot play DVD Audio and SACD and it has no multi channel analog out like the 610.  I like the PQ though better than my previous Pio 696AV IMO.  For those who are looking for a black 610 and is not concern with SACD and DVD Audio (just like me), i think this is a good alternative.

Is the PQ of 420 better than the 410? Or parehas lang?
How about the size and dimension? Is it exactly the same box?

ako din nga pala nakabili na neto. 5.5k sa SM Manila. With free HDMI na din. yun lang ang kasama. XD pero sulit pa din, libre lang kasi yung sodexho ko from office. hehe..

haven't fully tested it. Casino Royale pa lang ng BD Rip napapanood namin pero sobra stunning talaga ng PQ. parang ayoko na manood ng sine! =D

Maganda naman siya, but I have pausing problems with two DVDs na mataas ang bit rate (tulad ng concert ni michael buble saka yung isa kong chinese movie). Sa ibang discs wala naman problem. This issue never happened with my older Pioneer DVDP (though wala naman scaling tong luma ko). Wala akong commercially available p discs so di ko pa natest with that, pero wala siyang problem with reading DVD-R/DVD+R discs burned sa PC.

Yung HDMI output nya automatically nadetect na 2ch ang supported ng Panasonic TV ko, but it wasn't able to detect yung capability ng Hitachi TV so I had to select manually dun sa Hitachi.

The USB connector did not have a problem powering and recognizing my 0.5TB portable HDD. Subukan ko sa 2TB drive this week.

What's the advantage of the 420 over the 220?

What's the advantage of the 420 over the 220? 

420 supports WMV9 via USB (220 is DiVX only), comes with a bigger and nicer cabinet, and has a dot-matrix display (instead of segmented). According to the Automatic Centre rep, the 610 upscales better than both the 420 and the 220 though (he said that he had tried them side by side).

It's available in most "good" (meaning catering to us PDVDers and our more sophisticated taste) shops - e.g., The Home Theater - at  ground floor of Prince Tower, Tordesillas St., Salcedo Village in Makati or any Listening in Style store (LIS in Shangri-la Plaza, Listening Room at Megamall or Listen up at Glorietta). I would have bought this, if I wasn't able to buy the Toshiba XDE.

Parang hindi ganyan ang impression ko sa Pioneer,
ang mga nagamit kong Pioneer ay binasa lahat,
whether DVDr or mga P*rated DVDs, nagkaka-problema na lang habang tumatanda
at mukhang lumalabo na ang mata nya.

Its a very reliable brand, with a great price as well...

Di ko na nasubukan sa 2TB kasi bumili na ako ng Networked Media Player then. Nainis kasi ako sa quality issues dati nung DVDP. Pero naayos na naman most.

Sana isolated case lang siya. Ngayon naman na maayos na di ko na magamit sa kanya yung 2TB since NTFS na ang format nun.

Also works with the Harmony remotes.

sa online reviews mukang region free ang mga pioneer dvd players. although it says a certain region sa likod. (my dv120 is region 3). haven't tried it for myself though. and from what i read japanese dvds lang ang di niya kaya ma play. hence the indication on the box that says not fpr use in japan

The box and the unit have "Region 3" markings because they're complying with DVD licensing requirements.  However, since region-locking would adversely affect sales figures, most manufacturers unlock the region coding on the unit itself, which is a violation of licensing requirements. 

That's been going on for a long time in Asian regions.  The DVD Forum doesn't mind anymore, as long as royalties are paid.

I don't think the "Not for use in Japan" label means it won't play Japanese DVDs.  Because if it can't play Japanese DVDs, then it won't play Japanese DVDs whether you're in Japan or outside of Japan.

The purpose is probably for Japanese taxation.  The unit is intended for export only.  But it can be sold in Japan to foreign tourists, provided that the buyer will only use it outside Japan.




================================





To those interested in this model, I recommend that you buy it now, before stocks run out.

Pioneer and Sharp signed a joint verture agreement in 2009.  The current line of DVD players might be the last Pioneer-made ones.  The next line might be Sharp-made DVD players rebadged as Pioneer.

That's what happened to Pioneer BD players.  Ever wonder why former king of optical disc players makes bad BD players?  Pio BD players are rebadged Sharp units.

I just bought a few BD rips last night, just to see if there's been any improvement in quality.

Unfortunately, pareho pa rin ang BD rip quality.  Sound and picture are generally good, but motion is still defective.  The cadence is still "off".  

Most people are blown away by the "quality" because they can't see the cadence errors.

But there's a big improvement in packaging quality, that's for sure :D.
