The Pioneer DV-420V-K DVD player offers HDMI output, DivX support, and a slim form factor that fits easily into any space or decor. Its Windows Media Player compatibility and HD JPEG playback ensure more sources for you choice. Other features include compatibility with DVD Audio, DVD-RAM, DVD±R/±RW, audio CD and CD-R/RW discs, as well as MP3, WMA and MPEG-4 AAC digital audio playback.
When you play DVD movies encoded with Dolby Digital soundtracks, the built-in decoder processes all of the audio data without an external decoder, and lets you enjoy the amazing fidelity through your stereo speaker system. With connectors for HDMI, Component Video, S-Video, A/V, and Coaxial digital audio outputs, you'll be able to connect your cable or satellite box, VCR, game console, home theater receiver, and other peripherals in no time!
Pros: Let me start by saying that I purchased two (2) of these units. The biggest advantage to me was the USB port on the front panel. This machine plays from most all FAT32 formatted USB flash drives when plugged into the USB port. This means that, in my experience, to date, I have been able to play virtually ALL .AVI computer, video files. The actual DVD disc player works great. The unit does exactly what a DVD player is supposed to do, play DVD discs of various varieties without skips or video glitches that often appear on the really inexpensive models. This price is great for what it does.
Cons: The player does not play mpg-4 video files. In setting up a directory list for files when using a H/D, I created folders using the letters of the alphabet to more quickly access the video files I wanted to play. (ref: "Other thoughts)
Other Thoughts: I pushed the envelope further by connecting my 1 TB Iomega, external HD to the USB port on this player. I presently have over 600 .avi files (average 750mb in size) on this drive. Initially, the drive had to be reformatted with the FAT32 format. I presume that ANY external/USB HD can be used. Just format in FAT32, NOT NTFS or exFAT. If necessary, check your HD's website to reformat your external HD. Now, I simply play ALL of my .avi files right from my external HD directly to my television without having to make DVD disk copies. Frankly, I doubt that I will use the actual disc player very often. Many of my .avi files are also DivX encoded, but the player plays everything I can throw at it in the .avi format. To add new files to my HD, I disconnect it from the player, attach it to my computer, transfer the new files and reconnect it back to the player. This is a huge advantage using flash drives and external/USB drives and may be a precursor to the elimination of DVD discs entirely.

Pros: Lots of features. Plays practically anything. Love the front-port USB. I have a few DVDs that are quite old and have skipping/artifact issues when played in "cheap" DVD players, however, they play beautifully in this one! You can really see the 1080 upscaling quality.
Cons: None!
Other Thoughts: Worth the extra bucks. Avoid the $50 "deals," your playback will suffer if you buy one of those.

Pros: I've read alot of reviews about this product before I found that the Pioneer DV-420V is the one that fits my needs
Cons: Well, I thought may I could just attach my FreeAgent to the USB output and load movies this rented from BlockBuster. But that was to good to be true. But, you can copy Music.
Other Thoughts: It plays DVDs that my old DVD player could never play it also has fine option does an excellent job. This is a great deal for the price.
