You can change the voltage with a power inverter. Radioshack sells them, depending on how much power your dvd player takes, or if you want it for other things, like a ps2, etc, depends on how much it will cost. They start at about $40.

for clarification, he just described how to power the box. most of the home audio gear i've seen has a set output voltage that you can't change, and that's that.

as a note - sure, the dvd player might get 24-bit resolution, but when the HU recieves that signal it's highly likely that it'll downscale it to the normal 16-bit, negating the whole point of the dvd player. call or email pioneer first to make sure you're not wasting a bunch of time and money.

and if you're referring to replacing the chips inside the HU, i'm sure you can do it, but it'll void your warranty in more ways than the human mind can comfortably encompass. caveat emptor.
