Pioneer DV-343 DVD Player
Disappointed Pioneer Fan
My advice is not to waste time and money investing in one of these DVD players. If you buy three of these DVD players, perhaps two will work for you. I bought one as a 2001 Christmas present for my son to go with his Pioneer A/V receiver. It play fine for two months and stopped working in March 2002. We tried all of the trouble shooting fixes, used a DVD disc cleaner and installed new A/V cables. The pioneer representative said that it was a laser pick up problem. Nothing (DVD, CD, etc.) will play on it. So off to the repair shop it goes. Hardly, what you would expect from a quality Pioneer product. It is fortunate that there is a one year warranty on parts and labor, otherwise it would be a large paper weight.
