The Pioneer DV-220V-K Multi Region Free DVD Player is a media master. It can play most all of the more popular video and audio disc types and can process their output for maximum viewing and listening pleasure. It can also play popular computer music formats like MP3 and WMA and it packs all of that power into a cabinet less than 15 inches across and less than 2 inches high.

It also offers you your choice of two 5.1 channel outputs via its HDMI port: Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Out.

It also boasts an equalizer with seven presets plus Virtual Surround. There are even tools to boost dialog at three levels (plus the all important Off position) and an Audio DRC that renders loud sounds softer and softer sounds louder. In short, this Pioneer is blazing a trail to a new level of price/performance.

Plays a Large Variety of Disc Formats
Wouldn't it be great if one player could play all of the different formats in your home library? The DVD formats the Pioneer DV-220V-K can play include DVD, Dual-Layer DVD-R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW while the audio discs it can play include CD, SVCD, VCD, CD-R and CD-RW. It looks like you've found the answer.

HDMI Upscaling
This is a DVD player, not a Blu-Ray Disc Player. Yet it can upscale your ordinary DVDs to 1080p so that while they won't match Blu-ray, they will look better on your HDTV than you have ever seen them before. They'll look sharper and crisper with fewer motion artifacts.

Plays Fujicolor CDs
If you use a film camera you may get a Fujicolor CD back from the film processor along with your prints and negatives. Place the disc in the player and view your pictures on your TV screen.

Audio Equalizer to Optimize Your Listening Experience
The settings are Rock, Pop, Live, Dance, Techno, Classic and Soft. It's one more way you can match your music to your mood.

108 MHz/12-bit Video DAC and 96 kHz/24-bit Audio DAC
Let's skip the technical mumbo jumbo and just say that DACs are important for clear pictures with no "jaggies" (video) and the clearest most natural sounding music and dialog (audio). The DV-220V-K's are some of the most sophisticated in the business and all but unheard of in a player this affordable.

WMA and MP3 Music Playback with Sound Retriever
Liberate your music from your PC's sound system and play back your music on a system that can do them justice. The DV-220V-K's Sound Retriever is specially designed to make these kinds of files sound better. Turn it on High, Low or turn it off to see which setting you prefer.

Advanced Video Adjustment Tools
Remember back in the bad old days of analog TV how you adjusted the picture because you had to? Now you can adjust the picture because you want to. You can alter the sharpness, brightness, contrast, gamma (the look of dark portions of the picture), hue and chroma level. (Tip: Cartoons look great with the chroma level turned up a notch.)
