Can owners please give me their honest opinions in this machine as I am thinking of buying one.
Thanks !!!
I have 535 (its the same only black+ optical-digital out) for a week and it plays all types of cd`s cdr-rw and beat up rental disc`s flowlessly.
I wanted the silver too but theyr soldout :)
I think it got the best picture and sound.
Good remote, built quality is good even if its light
Twin wave laser, RGB scart ,PAL or NTSC-output , in 2 films i notice the layer change delay, but i dosent matter to me and i dont now if its the film or the player.
Buy it !!!

It`s the player, but it`s still a damned good machine.
Especially now that high street prices have dropped from between £199 and £229 to......wait for it.......
£179!!!
Region 2 only of course, but a good machine for £180!
However, you may want to consider the Aiwa 370 and LG 3350`s.
£199 for the Aiwa and up to £249 for the LG, but in my opinion, better buys.
AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!

Better buy ? Thats so bullshit- If the 530 is less why not buy it ???
Man im getting Fed up with "AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!"
Do they pay good ? Biased ?
Tell me who built the Aiwa or LG ? who ?
Pioneer is built by ? do THEY let any company join in -NO
Ok let us see how long your Aiwa works - my frends (3) Pioneer`s never died - they r old but r still working - Its quality
Ok my extended Review on Pioneer 535 region-free at 271£ in my contry Norway - it`s expencive i now
Based on 1.5 week with 2 players on a Panasonic TX-32DK20F
Ok thats a 32 WS and it kills my dear old Sony -or any Sony- yeah i now Sony used to be nr1 ,but the Pannasonic is better at 782£.
Its just the best - ok AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS what do you have ?
I dident buy the flat screen PK 1252£ - not much diferent- not worth it
Ok my point is that a with a realy good TV you can see s*** or no s***
Movies:
Region 2
Matrix, Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator, Gone in 60 seconds, Armageddon,
Region 1
MI 2, Shaft, Runaway Bride
1 VCR Fight Club - boring :)
Rented 4 movies - in bad shape but it played it flowlessly.
Perfect color/ light/ shadow and Rock hard sound -very good on all CD`s and VCR
Is it noicy ? well on the menu and on the scratched rental layer2 it makes some noice , but it loads the menu and the chapter`s damn FAST
"Noicy and layer change is slow" - EH i dont think so
Yeah sombody complaint about the noice, but on my new cd`s i cant hear a thing, but im not sitting with my ear on the dvd and whatching the movie from there
I just dont trust- buy-try-return it before i now it thing
Talk 2 som1 who dident return - and had it longer than a day or 2
Man get a better TV, and RGB SCART is the best
Pioneer 535(unofficially) ROCKS!!!!!!
I got hold of the Pioneer 530 for £167, and it had been upgraded to multi region!
I`m no expert but I`m quite impressed, and it plays all the DVDs that some others have had trouble with in the past (Gladiator Disc2, Matrix, TWINE etc)
Had one for about a week now and I think it`s great.
I have the Pioneer 530 ( silver ) type
Pioneer 530(unofficially) ROCKS!!!!!!
Wwhere can i get the Pioneer?
...as people have said above it has an optical out put.
I bought mine from www.dvdmagic.com
The player is multi region 1-6 and has macrovision disabled. I got this player to replace the rubish Wharfedale 750, which i refunded a Tescos six months later.
So far the player is working ok.
It cost me £215 including next day delivery.
I bought a Pioneer 530 about 2 months ago when I took my Alba 103 back to Argos and got a refund because of the RCE problem (it would not play region 1 RCE titles). I thought the Alba was an ok machine but compared to the Pioneer it is very second rate in all areas of performance the Pioneer is a stunning performer in both video and audio and I think it`s silver finish is very classy. I can highly recomend this machine I got mine regiion 1-6 auto/manual Rce compatible macrovision disabled from leconcepts.com who I can also recomend
