Does this play well with a DVI-only TV set? My question is, can I do the same with this Pioneer DVD player?

You've probably already gotten an answer to your question, but to help future buyers, the answer is yes! I have output going to my monitor via hdmi to dvi cable, and digital coaxial audio out. Also, in the setup options, you can specify video only from the hdmi port.

Okay the answer is both yes and no. "IF" you have add a bluray optical drive to the unit (bluray/dvd/cd/r/w) (by the way they can be purchased on Amazon and are easy to self install) then the answer is yes with great graphics..as long as you have a HD monitor or are planning to stream or plug into a HDTV. If on the other hand you mean as equipped, then the answer is no. For ANY computer to play (some will even record which is really a great for those precious home movies/8MM/Beta/VHS/Camcorder) they MUST have an optical drive that says bluray. Blurays do NOT just play bluray disks, they play everything from bluray to cd's (again most offer record functions, check for Amazon for specs and pricing. Personally I prefer the Pioneer line simply because that is what I use and have never had an issue plus Pioneer offers firmware updates to keep the drives up to date for any new bluray technology for FREE.

This is inaccurate. PAL discs are converted by the player. I have one and tested it soon after it arrived. It works flawlessly on my NTSC-only TV. This player will play literally almost ANYTHING. Format, code, region, you name it.

This DVD player plays all regions. It gives you a crisp, clear perfect picture. I am very happy with it, I have this DVD on all three of my 55" LED TV's. Though it does play all regions, it will only play one at a time. Perhaps they sell multiple DVD players, I'm sure Amazon will let you know.Debra

As far as I remember the TV signal was analog and it seemed to work okay. But the DVD player itself is really loud. The connection types in the back, If i remember right, are some sort of connection you wouldn't really see in other DVD systems. I wouldn't recommend this for a receiver.

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

Just tried it with a Region 2 DVD. It will play it, but the output on mine is set to be NTSC and my television will not read the PAL signal. I could hear the music that play on the menu, but there was no picture and an error message informing me the signal was incorrect appeared. This does not automatically convert the signal to NTSC. You would be better off buying a dedicated region free player for playback and use this for the HDD.

Yes will work with your Analog set today and will also work with your future LCD HDTV set. Dont know when you are planning to buy the HDTV in future. If it is 1 yr from now then i would suggest you buy a very simple 40-50$ DVD player for your analog right now. The reason i suggest is that in a year's time the HD DVD player would become quite cheaper (hoping) and you will be better off to purchase a HD Player for your HDTV and not a upconverting DVD player. Hope this helps!

The DVD player works fine with me. When you install you need to make sure to take one screw out (that is for shipping purpose).

I wish I could help but I bought mine brand new on Amazon about a year and a half ago. The unit is a nice one and I have not had any problems with it. It plays all formats and getting a 5 or 6 dvd changer that also has HD upscaling is getting pretty hard to find.Realistically, I cannot see ANYONE selling a dvd player WITHOUT a remote since it is almost useless without it.

I have a regular TV (Standard Def) with component inputs, can I use this player (as a standard dvd player) with my regular TV. I plan on buying a HDTV in the future and I want a standard def. dvd player for now.

Typically, in the electronics world, players are backwards compatible. Since this is Blue Ray DVD technology, it should play the older DVD formats the came before. I'm not an expert on this, but I don't recall ever having a DVD (Blue Ray, HD, SD) or CD that would not play in this player.

Hi, this item can play regular DVD wonderfully. But this item cannot support digital tv signal, just analog tv signal as stated.

Progressive Scan DVD players are not upconverting so I would suggest an upconverting dvd player with and HDMI cable for best results on your lcd
