Hi all,

I know there's been some discussion of this, but from what I read I didn't really see a definite "yes" or "no" answer from anybody. I would like to hear from a person who owns one of these players and who checked this him(her)self, are Pioneer DV-440 and DV-444 players sold in the US capable of playing PAL DVDs and VCDs and can these players be easily (by e.g. pressing an xyz buttons on the remote) switched to a region other than the region 1? Thanks in advance for the info.

Andrei
