Pioneer DV C503 - DVD changer - black
DV-C503 is AOK with me.
First of all, I've read a number of reviews for this unit that mention some issue with laser pickup functionality loss over 1 year of use. In response to this, I have to ask, \\"what in God's green earth are you doing to your DVD players?\\" If your laser pickups are failing after a year, maybe you should stop keeping your DVD player on a unit/table/slab next to your subwoofer. No subwoofer? Then stop throwing it around the house like a frisbee.<br /><br />I've had this unit for at least 3 years now, and I have not experienced a single loss in quality. I use it daily for DVD production, and I've given it a number of discs (from a well-produced Hollywood release to my crapped-out test productions to scratched Whitesnake CDs) all of which, it's read properly, and without failure. This player is a bad-ass, yes, but it's not tuned to take the severe beating some of the reviewers have given it. Ignore the 1-star reviews on here (because I said so) and buy this puppy.
