Pioneer DV-434 DVD Player
This is a DVD Player in name only.
Any claim that the machine is capable of playing a DVD is completely false. I have owned this machine for two years, and it nearly always refuses to load DVDs (from the day I purchased it on - no problems with Audio CDs though). On the rare occasion it accepts a DVD it crashes frequently. It is not a DVD player - it is a cheapy built black box that is capable of accepting DVDs for brief periods of time before it finds it can not read them. I would have a similar success rate watching DVDs if I placed the DVDs in the refrigerator and then connected the refrigerator to the television with a rope.
