Be sure to use a good scart and try to connect using the RGB option if your tv supports it. Pioneer DV 535, cannot compare to any other player. I watched Gladiator and in one scene, with a knock on the carriage door, I turned everything off to answer my own front door to find I was fooled by technology. I've now had this player for a few months, and have had absolutely no problems with it at all. I seriously doubt anyone could find a better player for the same price, or a better service than from this site.
Machine works fine, easy to set up and the picture and sound are excellent.
