Pioneer DV-333 DVD Player
Problems after 20 months of light use
I bought this model in December, 2000 as a family Christmas gift based on reviews I read here. We used it \\"lightly\\" - probably playing one DVD movie a week from then until last month. The machine no longer responds predictably to either the remote (with fresh batteries) or the front panel controls. If I try to power it on, there is no response. After 10 minutes, if I try again, the power will come on. Then I try to play the DVD. Again, no response, but if I try again after several minutes, it might work. This repeats for nearly every subsequent command. When I finally give up and try to power it off - you guessed it - it does not respond until I try again some time later. I opened the unit to peek inside, but nothing looks amiss. I will try to contact Pioneer tomorrow, but am not hopeful after just reading other reviews here...
