Pioneer DV-F727 301 Disc DVD / CD / CD-R/ and RW Player
SUPERB FEATURES AND QUALITY
I first purchased a Toshiba 3109 and then a Panasonic 220. Both units had typical dvd sound and picture quality and were fairly easy to use. But some of the features that I wanted were either missing or difficult to use.  Also, I am very lazy, and when I had an occaisonal whim to see a portion of  of a movie that was not already loaded, I usually did not bother. The  Pioneer more than satisfied any disatisfaction that I had with the other  players. With 300 + 1 discs available, a quick touch of the shuttle made  any disc immediately available. The display menues are incredibly versatile  and easy to use compared to other DVD players. And finally the picture was  equal to the others, but the sound quality was MUCH, MUCH SUPERIOR. The  price may be higher, but dollar for disc and overall quality and features  make purchasing this Pioneer DVD a no brainer.
