Best DVD I ever purchased

For some reason, I have had bad luck with DVD players. PIONEER DV-383S however has operated perfectly from day 1. I bought it to UK import DVDs. It plays them perfectly.

Awesome player!

Works great with any region DVD. Took one overseas to family there and the 220 volt feature was great as well. No problems after 6 months.

Plays All Region DVDs as Advertised

My wife fell in love with an Austrailian show called Mcleod's Daughters. When the WE network cancelled it we found out that the series was available in Austrailia only and only on Region 4 DVDs. I did some research and purchased the DV383s which had...
