Pioneer DV-333 DVD Player
Piece of junk - do not buy!
This DVD player worked well for about 9 months, but then started having some very strange problems.  The worst part is that the problems are inconsistent and completely unpredictable.  It got to the point where we wouldn't rent a DVD because there was no telling if it would play.<br />The most common problem is the DVD player telling me that &quot;This player is incompatible with the region marking on this disk.&quot;  Which is, of course, not true at all.  All of the disks are from the local video store (region 1).  I own a few DVDs, and sometimes they work, sometimes they don't - which is very frustrating.<br />Often times it will simply not play certain tracks.  Again, no apparent reason - just won't play.  It's pretty annoying to be watching a movie, and the player decides not to play chapter 3.<br />The lastest thing that it did was the wierdest.  When it got to chapter 4, it replayed chapter 3 - but displayed chapter 4 on the display.  This led me to believe that the DVD was messed up, so I took it to the store and of course, it worked fine.<br />When I finally called support they were very hard to reach and antagonistic.  Since it had been over 12 months, they could do nothing for me.  Great.  Thanks alot.<br />And of course it's not worth it to get it fixed - so now I'm shopping for a new DVD player.  I definitely won't get a Pioneer - and I would suggest that you don't either.
