If you're having problems playing movies from a hard drive, check out the JVC NX7000BT. I shopped units for 2-3 months and even went into a shop to test movies on the z110bt from a usb hard drive... It failed with several different drives, so I went with the NX7000BT and couldn't be happier! I think JVC's unit is the more compatable with various media types than the pioneer units. It can also hold thousands of songs and/or movies. It will also play photos, and I love the gps navigation that came with it. Plus I was able to find it online for only $750.00 (compared to the $1,500 fo

To have video available while driving, just ground the parking break wire from the in-dash unit. This is confirmed to work on the NX7000.

The most common DivX encoding is about 700meg. (to fit on a single CD if desired) But I thought Mpeg4 and DivX were inter-compatable. If it plays mpeg 4 files via USB, shouldn't it work with DivX files too? (DivX IS an mpeg4 format) Can anyone test this?

(sigh) what's the matter with these idiots? why cant a higher quality company keep up with an outfit like JVC when it comes to something simple like DivX or Xvid playback from a portable hard drive? I guess I'm going to have to stick with JVC... I'd have preferred to go with Pioneer... If anyone from Pioneer is reading this, take a look at your low-end competitors and get up to speed already...

Does anyone know if the new z110bt will play Divx Videos via USB hard drive? I checked the manual, and it specifically says that it will play DivX files via cd and dvd and states that USB can play Video but only lists mpeg4 and not specifically DivX. (My JVC AVX800 works beautifully to play Divx files via usb, and i have ripped most of my dvd's to divx and play them from a portable hard drive. I don't want to loose that functionality, and want to find out if the new Pioneers can do the same thing before I throw down the $$ on a unit like this. )
