Advantages: Slim Aesthetics, 450 W RMS Power Output, Excellent Treble & Mids, Robust Build, The interface capability - SCART, Phono, S-Video and digital. Quite inexpensive at £232.00 Disadvantages: Bass slightly Honky, The blue light in the unit hits out at the eye in dark environments, which is quite irritating while watching movies.
...What would you do if you won £10,000??? Buy a Pioneer DCS-313 I suppose. But that was what one Mr. Kepler Wolfgang in my neighbourhood did. So I fixed up an appointment with him to have a glance at his new Pioneer DCS-313, though he was hesitant at first due to a slight insecure thought when I just barged into his home & introduced myself ( I am this kind of a guy ). But he had coupled the Pioneer DCS-313 with a pair of Bose jewel cubes, which I am not including in the apparatus I am reviewing. So go get a bag of popcorn so that you can go through this detailed review.
***SOUND QUALITY♫♫♫. [4/5]***
The only thing that the Pioneer DCS-313’s Sound could not do was shattering my bones. The Test CD brought about some amazing results...

Advantages: High playback quality, easy to use and available in black! Disadvantages: Occasional SCART problems on startup, no "display off" option, sometimes too good!
...Pioneer have been in the home cinema market for longer than most, and it shows in their most recent offering of DVD players. The DV464 is placed in roughly the middle of their range, and retails anywhere between £90 and £150. It's got all the right letters after its name - DTS, MP3, CD-RW, WMA, SRS (TruSurround). To cover those quickly, DTS is an improvement on Dolby Digital sound; it'll play MP3s and Windows Media files off recordable CDs (it'll also do slideshows of JPEG image files, play Video CDs, DVD-R and DVD-RW), and SRS TruSurround allows a simulation of surround sound to be created from two speakers.
As ever, the DV464 conveys the feeling you get with Pioneer equipment that you're getting a good buy - lifting it out of the box it feels solid, and it sits in the middle of a very big stack of equipment without trouble...

Advantages: Mindblowing sound, Explosive picture and feature packed - at a great price. Buy it. Disadvantages: Nothing significant at this price
...Pioneer is well respected manufacturer for top quality home cinema products, and it ranks amongst the top few manufacturers of DVD players, up there with Sony, Toshiba and Panasonic. Pioneer is well known for impeccable build quality and excellent performance and the DV-626D is a brilliant example of just what Pioneer can do.
After searching though review magazines and browsing the internet, I decided the pioneer was the one to go for. Main features include onboard Dolby Digital and DTS decoders, duel laser pickup, Pal/NTSC output, Digital noise reduction, conditional memory, Virtual Dolby Surround...
I know what you're probably thinking... WHAT??? So I'll go through them as best as I can to make things a little clearer.
One of the main features of DVD is its ability to hold surround sound soundtracks. This means...

Also called Pioneer Kuro. Kuro stands for black and each one of the plasmas within this range has been designed to deliver better black levels than any other flat TV on the market. You may be thinking why is the black so important? You are probably more... more
This TV simply oozes quality in every area. The panel itself is of the highest quality I have ever experienced. Some firms make the mistake of producing a high-quality panel, coupled with mediocre sound. I really do believe this set has extremely high... more
The Pioneer 4280XD a fantastic choice of television and quite possibly one of the best plasma options currently out of the market, before it's release there was a massive hype within the circles that follow this sort of thing and you should know that the more
Trust me, this is one item that you wont be able to resist stopping and staring at if you find it in an electrical store.
The Pioneer PDP 4270XD is an absolute dream, a miracle in TV history and the cream of the crop when it comes to slimline units.... more
