Pioneer DV-434 DVD Player
Great for six months, then ...sudden death!
I originally bought this player because of the value. It had a great variety of audio options and progressive scan at an unbeatable price. Indeed, it worked flawlessly for six months and played DVD, CD, SVCD, VCD discs well. The setup is comprehensive and simple. It's a bit of a lightweight, but for the price I was willing to accept a unit without &quot;heft&quot;. The unit died without warning last week....hanging up during scene changes. I am in the process of seeing if it's worth it to repair the unit. My next purchase will be a player with better quality and a longer warranty.
