First, let me get the model sequence straight : 343 replaces 333, 333 replaces 525. 535 is the European equivalent of 333. I went with the 343 because 1) I am not interested in a progressive scan model (DV434) - I still love my two-year-old Sony TV 2) I am not interested in a multi-disk model 3) all of 343's predecessors had great reviews and 4) 343 was the newest model of the bunch. Now the player review. Setup was a breeze. It supports all kinds of hookup combinations available today. Unfortunately for me, my seven-year-old receiver only allows the basic hookup that can be done with the cable that comes with the 343. The picture and audio are great nonetheless. I tried another combination (optical, composite, etc.) with my friend's receiver. The picture and audio are even greater.

Pioneer.Recently bought their DV-343 and VSX-D510 combo, and no regrets whatsoever. Setup is a breeze, with simple on screen menu's. The remote however is a bit on the small side. One of the things I was looking for in a DVD player was the ability to play CDR/RW also. This player hasnt rejected one CDR yet, regardless of reflection color(silver, blue etc etc). Color's are bright and well projected, watching Rules of Engagement as I type this review and this machine keeps amazing me, sound is very nice(connected coaxially to the receiver). The player handles DD and DTS All in all I am very happy with this purchase, seen players that cost more perform less. Pioneer once again lives up to their names promise.

I decided to go with this Pioneer since the DVD-ROM I use on my computer is a Pioneer and works flawlessly.This player is an excellent buy for the money. It may not have MP3 feedback (the AD-3201 does), but all my DVDs play flawlessly. Has no problems with music CDs or CD-Rs either. It also has every jack known to audiophiles on the back. SVIDEO, Coax, Optical, Component Video: they're all there. The buttons on the remote are little small, but I can live with that. The only thing I really dislike is the search feature. The Apex player (or PowerDVD on my computer) has a very smooth search feature, but this Pioneer player does not. It can be very hard to find a specific part of a DVD because it jumps around in fairly large increments. It's like watching a fast slideshow rather than watching the movie play back very fast. I believe Panasonic's RV31 has...Read more |
