Pioneer DV-434 DVD Player
Great Features, but poor workmanship
I bought this unit over 2 years ago.  It was the only unit with progressive scan at the time for 300.00.  The picture is great and the motor and transport seemed quite enough not to bother me during playback of movies.  I thought I bought a great unit.<br />Enter the present.  When I place a DVD in the tray, the ... thing just hangs up on \\"loading\\".  IT NO LONGER PLAYS.  <br />Since it is out of warranty (1 year parts),  I opened it up to look inside.  Not much there. That's why it is so light.  Pioneer used the cheapest circuits, components and plastic inside.  <br />Now I have to pay about 40.00 for a repair estimate from a Service Center.  I will decide what to do with it depending on the repair cost.  I have a feeling that I will just toss it in the trash!
