Pioneer DV-333 DVD Player
beware the freeze problem...
As described by users below, I too started having problems after a little over a year of very light use.  the machine will turn on fine, and display the pioneer logo, but then will get hung up and not load the menu.  if i retry repeatedly, up to a dozen times, sometimes i get lucky and it starts to play.<br />pioneer claims there is no service bulletin on this model, so you are responsible for all repairs.  it's a great unit, but considering that i could get a new dvd player for [money], i'm not sure that it's worth the money to repair this.
