Onkyo DV-C503 Multi-disc DVD Player

Pros: Low price for a 5-disc changer, plays CD-R and CD-RW, looks, outputs, picture and sound.
Cons: Remote's buttons

Why buy a one-disc DVD player when for a small premium you can get a 5-disc model? The Pioneer DV-C503 DVD holds 5 DVD or CD discs and allows you to perform “play exchange” – while one disc is playing, you can replace other ones.

The...

Pros: Well made, reliable, 5 disc capacity, and excellent sound/picture quality.
Cons: Very large and slow loading.

Being a big fan of vcd's, I decided I wanted more than a single disc dvd player. A local discount store had the truck load of Pioneer DV-C503's in, so I decided to buy one. Already having a Apex 700, I decided to put the Pioneer in the living room and...

Pros: A nice little unit to introduce you into the wild world of digital movies.
Cons: Some of those "high-falootin'" features suddenly seem quite basic.

I have this thing about change: I fear it. I blame the all-too-rapid aging process, plus the fact that I can't keep up with all the new technology they come up with every week. I keep joking that when I'm old, I'm going to be that crazy lady that all...

Pros: fairly inexpensive for a multi-purpose player
Cons: not too many extra features

We all are at a moral dilemma in our lives. This ever so popular trend of releasing everything onto DVD has harassed even those of us that still have a BETA player. So, why in God's name should we purchase a DVD player? And, when and if we do, what type...

Pros: Easy to use, 5-disc changer, clear picture, and great sound
Cons: A bad disc can make the unit freeze

I purchased this unit about a month and a half ago as a birthday present for my husband. I wasn't in too much of a hurry to buy a DVD player because we have over 200 VHS movies and switching to DVD will be expensive. As it turns out I am using the DVD...

Pros: affordable, reliable, cd-r/rw and vcd/svcd support, excellent video and audio playback
Cons: no mp3 playback

I have owned this player for close to 6 months now and I have yet to be disappointed with its performance. It plays every dvd i have old or new without incident. The pioneer also plays cd-r and cd-rw discs with no problems weather they be audio cd's...

Pros: A great mix of features for the price
Cons: Uncovering (and understanding) the features can take some experimenting.

I took a lot of time to research which DVD player to buy, and this one had just the right mix of features at the right price.

I wanted to get rid of an old (top loading!) carousel CD changer that I had bought back in college. I also had a...

Pros: Excellent price for a changer, great picture, all a/v inputs supported
Cons: bulky, feels kind of cheep, no progressive scan

I went to Best Buy to pick up a DVD player to replace my original GE DVD player which only supported Dobly 2.1. I finally landed on this baby, a 5 Disc changer that was actually less expensive then some of the single players. It has support for both DTS...

Pros: CDR playable, 5 disc, ease of use
Cons: Odd remote, minimal scan feature

To start off, just so you know, this was a replacement for the Sony DVP-S360. You can read my epinion on that product also here at Epinions.com. Actually there was even a Samsung DVD 711 between the Sony and the Pioneer, but that's a whole other laugh...

Pros: great picture and sound, good quality feel
Cons: plain remote, loud drive

I bought this product as a replacement for my old DVD player. This player has the same look and feel of all Pioneer components. It has a good quality feel to all its buttons and controls on the unit. The brushed black color will blend with any other...

Pros: 5-disc changer functionality, low cost
Cons: Bulky, Balky (needs coddling to work properly)

I bought this changer about 18 months ago and loved it at first. I wanted to have a multi-disc changer so I could run lots of music back to back without having to manually change it.

However, over time it has gotten more and more reluctant...

Pros: Great picture
Cons: none

I was first going to buy A Sony DVD player, but Best Buy did not have them i stock. This was one of the only ones they did have. I was not going to buy a 5 disk, but since it was the only one, why not

The first thing i need to comment about...

Pros: Good picture and great price for multiplayer ability. Works great.
Cons: Not as many features obviously.

I was able to pick up this player at Costco and chose it over some others after researching friends and the net for a few weeks. In the end, it came down to the fact that I could replace my cd (multidisc) player and get a dvd player. It's still entry...

Pros: Great price, every output possible, reliable, plays CD-R's
Cons: poor remote

I paid $250 at auction for my DV-C503 and it has been worth every penny. I use it as my CD player and My DVD player which means a lot of use and abuse. I have not had a single CD that wont play on this Pioneer. Once, a CD had a buffer overflow during the...

Pros: good features, cheap, respectable brand name
Cons: not too many extra features

As new to the dvd-era, I was very cautious towards picking the right dvd-player. I have had a Pioneer car cd-player for 4 years with no problems and I trust the brand name. The dvd player is easy to use and very excellant for beginers looking for great...
