Pros: Great plain DVD player doing just what you want: play DVDs
Cons: Noisy rotating disk. Reading head misaligned after only a year and a half.
The Bottom Line: There are better low price alternatives that have more features (like mp3 player) and are better quality.
However, it was good while it lasted

| centauri's Full Review: Pioneer DV-343 DVD Player |
I bought this one a year and a half back as my first DVD. All I wanted was a plain DVD player doing just that, playing DVDs. I didn't want the mp3 player or anything too fancy, my TV doesn't support it, and I don't have that great a sound system yet.
From the beginning, I though the disk rotation inside the DVD player was noisy, but everything else was working like a charm, the picture was unlike anything I had seen before, much better than good old VHS!
It was very easy to use and setup and while I think all DVD players remote are somewhat clumsy, I adapted pretty well to it.
I enjoyed it for a year and a half, when it suddenly started to freeze the video image. My guess is that the reading head is misaligned.
Repairing it would cost more than it's worth.
So my advice is to go with a better alternative.
