Pioneer 530. Chipped? Is this a good deal. How reliable will it be (The player/The chip) ? Anyone have one? Anyone used this company before? Comments?
Cheers, Hoenir
I have one, bought from Techtronics in November.
Very pleased, plays any disc I chuck at it, including RCE. Picture and sound quality excellent for the price.
Macrovision is also disabled.
The only negative comments I would have are in respect of the remote (small and really fiddly), and the fact that MP3 playback is not supported.
Oh and it is so light that I thought that they had delivered me an empty box!
As regards Techtronics I reckon that you`ll hear plenty of horror stories about them.
Search these or other forums and you will find a number of posts detailing how poor their customer service is.
I haven`t had a problem (player delivered in 5 days) yet but if I do it sounds like a world of s***.
Have a look at upgrade heaven, only £10, £20 more and plenty of positive feedback around the forums.
HTH shout if you want more information.
