It's a new (2 years old) Premir Pioneer head unti, it's useless right now, it does nothing, except for a little green light flashes on the dvd player.
unplug from the wall and plug it back. It will force a reboot.
DV-363-K DVD/CD Player with PureCinema Progressive Scan
It will work, but if you have not already purchased it (and assuming your HD projector has a DVI or HDMI input) you would be better off with a good upscaling DVD player. Some options include the Oppo 981 ($229) or a Toshiba HD-A3 (~$200). The latter is not quite as good an upconverter as the Oppo, but has the advantage of supporting one of the two HD disk formats. You could also consider a Blu-ray player but they are a bit more expensive (and by the way picture quality and sound from Blu-ray is essentially identical to that from HD DVD disks)..
I have an Oppo 971 and an HD-A2 and use the latter as my primary DVD player -- even though the Oppo gives a marginally superior DVD image on my HD projector -- because it is inconvenient to connect both and I occasionally play HD DVDs (e.g. Planet Earth).
I rarely play HD disks for two reasons ... the picture on my 110" screen from DVDs is great and the slight improvement in picture quality from HD DVDs is not worth the price premium ... at least not to me.
first, clean the lens by using a cd/dvd lens cleaner, if that doesn't work, you have to have it serviced/repaired to change/clean/adjust the lens manually.

I have Pioneer DV 400 V-S dvd player and would like to make it multi region. Does anyone have the codes to crack it or tell where to get it? Thanks!

They are the best.

I have a Pioneer DV-400V HDMI DVD player, recently the dialogue/picture have been out of sync, not all the time but quite often. Sometimes a little, sometimes alot. Stopping, turning off, turning on again and resuming sometimes correct it but not always.
Is my player destined for the scrap heap or is their something that can be done?
Cheers.
Cheers guys, I recently bought a new HDMI cable for that reason but still the same : (
If it does it on all DVDs then the scrap heap in the sky is the place for it but try a DVD cleaner disk first.
Angie- Thanks for the breakdown.
Woaters- The player is at the other house, and I won't be able to get the model number before the weekend. Thank you for the techie offer to help though! I appreciate it.
No. Here's the breakdown for the region # and the corresponding locations.
0 - No Region Coding
1 - United States of America, Canada
2 - Europe, including France, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Arabia, Japan and South Africa
3 - Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Borneo and Indonesia
4 - Australia and New Zealand, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America
5 - India, Africa, Russia and former USSR countries
6 - Peoples Republic of China

8 - Airlines/Cruise Ships
9 - Expansion (often used as region free)
Get a digital coaxial cable or a digital optical cable first. Run the single cable to your surround sound amp. Done.

Here is a video of a Pioneer AVH P5000 installed with the parking brake bypass
It offers pictures with up to six times more detail than standard DVDs, and should be the ideal way to view films on the high-definition TVs now reckoned to be in nearly 50% of households. But although big-name releases – such as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Star Trek XI – are expected to boost sales of blu-ray players and discs this Christmas, the format has not been the hit that many expected.
Two years ago, Sony was brimming with confidence: in April 2007 it produced an internal presentation of sales projections which reckoned that by the end of 2009, 27m players would be in use, and 85m discs sold.
Blu-ray player sales have grown rapidly this year , but they still make up less than 12% of DVD player sales in western Europe, according to data released recently by the analysis company GfK Group.
"Sales have been disappointing for the industry," said Richard Cooper, senior video analyst at the media analysis company Screen Digest. "They were expecting that it would be adopted more quickly. But you wouldn't choose to launch a premium upgrade product in the middle of a recession."
Blu-ray is a high-end product – it is difficult to persuade people to upgrade to more expensive, premium products when they are surrounded with "good enough" cheaper ones. DVD was able to supplant VHS video because it offered direct access to any point on the disc, was more robust than tape, and had extras such as deleted scenes, commentaries and multiple languages. Even so, it took just over 10 years for DVD to completely kill off VHS sales.
Another problem was that like VHS, which outlasted Betamax, Blu-ray began in a format war with Toshiba's HD DVD format, another high definition video format. Although HD DVD bowed out of competition in early 2008, it had left people wary of committing to the new format.
The way seemed to be open. The difference is, instead of just one challenger, Blu-ray now faces many challenges in the fight for attention, including HD television and, particularly, the internet, where the iPlayer and YouTube - which both also offer high-definition versions - can be piped into TV sets via games consoles including the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3. And there are also legal and illegal downloads in growing numbers, plus Sky and Virgin offering what are effectively video-on-demand services in standard and high definition.
In 2005 Bill Gates commented that Blu-ray would be "the last physical format there will ever be" because in the future, "everything's going to be streamed directly or on a hard disk".
And now the film industry is moving to embrace a future of content delivered over the internet. Warner Brothers has launched a Europe-wide video on demand service that sees titles available to cable customers in some countries the same day they are released on DVD.
Apple, meanwhile, is reportedly sounding out leading US broadcasters with a view to launching subscription TV through it's online store iTunes. And in the UK, media companies offering video on demand, such as BT and Virgin, continue to expand their services.
But it is too early to read the last rites of Blu-ray. "There's a huge number of channels on TV, and it's easier to go to video-on-demand than it was before. Yet people still buy content in a package," said Cooper. Blu-ray can offer the complete package - discs, extras and, with newer machines, links to online extras, he explained.
Mike O'Mahoney, general sales manager at the consumer electronics company Pioneer GB, admits that take-up has been "fairly slow" but says that this year sales have been up 150-fold on 2008, helped by falling prices of players and discs.
One challenge has been that people can buy an "upscaling" DVD player - which will make an ordinary DVD played on a high-definition TV appear to fill the screen. Such upscaling players typically cost no more than £100, and the apparent improvement in quality over a normal DVD player (though using the same disc) is enough for many viewers.
But there are other problems. Ben Rose, an internet analyst, said: "The main issue is content. Most of the movie archive doesn't have an HD digital transfer and therefore can't be released on Blu-ray. Blockbusters like those from George Lucas or Spielberg are going to capture the public on the new format and they just aren't here yet."
Even among illegal downloaders, the preference is still for standard quality over HD, Rose notes, pointing to statistics from one of the largest "torrent" sites which shows that there were 12,500 "standard" downloads of the latest Doctor Who episode, The Waters of Mars, against 2,500 of the HD version. The same applies for Top Gear, also popular with downloaders, where only 1 in 3 went for the HD version.
GfK still expects Blu-ray players to be "one of the top-selling products this Christmas" – and adds that the sales are underestimated because every PS3 sold is also a Blu-ray player. So far, 2.5m have been sold in the UK. It may be that Blu-ray is simply sidling into peoples' homes – but whether it will be the success that was dreamed of in 2007 is quite another matter.
Pop a Blu-ray disc into the BDP-320 and you'll get muted yet beautiful and natural-looking colors--less saturated than those produced by our reference player, a Sony PlayStation 3 , but more pleasing to the eye. Skin tones were realistically balanced throughout, and the opening scene of the black-and-white Good Night and Good Luck movie looked gorgeous.
The BDP-320 even did well with DVDs, showing surprising depth (though slightly less detail) in chapter 3 of the Phantom of the Opera DVD than did the PS3.
In fact, the BDP-320 exhibited softer contrast and less detail than the PS3 in most of our tests (other than Good Night and Good Luck ). This tendency hurt the image in a dark scene (chapter 20) from The Searchers : The BDP-320 made the low-contrast scene feel comparatively flat and lifeless.
The BDP-320 even outputs a good-looking image before you put in a disc, thanks to its simple, direct onscreen menu design featuring white text on a black background with blue and gray highlighting.
The first time you turn on the BDP-320, a wizard helps you set it up and tests your system to confirm that everything works. The main menu contains straightforward explanations of its options. A Tools button on the remote brings up a smaller menu of items that you're likely to change frequently, such as dynamic range (difference between loud and soft sounds) and subtitles.
One setting in the Tools menu doesn't seem appropriate for that location: Video Adjust lets you tell the player what kind of HDTV you have (PDP, LCD, and so on), so that it can optimize the image. How often are you going to change that?
The BDP-320's remote control has the buttons used for controlling what you watch (Play, Pause, Skip, and so on) set too low; they're also (with the exception of Play) too small and too similarly shaped. As a result, you can easily hit Stop when you mean to hit Pause. The remote isn't backlit, but it is programmable.
The BDP-320 feels like an early Blu-ray player: It's big and sturdy, not slim-line and lightweight like other recent models. Its reaction times are a bit sluggish, too, requiring 1 minute, 22 seconds to start playing the Independence Day Blu-ray disc. Of 24 players we've tested with this disc over the past couple of years, only 4 took longer than that.
The BDP-320 has an ethernet port and a USB port, but they are strictly for BD-Live. A feature called Home Media Gallery is nowhere near as cool as that name suggests. It displays a list of tracks and/or files on a data disc or audio CD.
The BDP-320 produces great-looking images; but the Toshiba BDX2000 , a less expensive player, produces even better-looking images.
