Advantages: Great Picture, Crystal Clear Sound, Great Range Of Connections
Disadvantages: No Scart Lead Provided

...I decided to buy this DVD player after upgrading to a HD TV and i needed some sort of player which has component output. Having previously owned a Pioneer DV350, that what fantastic, i decided to stick with Pioneer and get their player with the component outputs on the back. This therefore means that the player has progressive scan through component in PAL (and in NTSC) which means you can view DVDs through either display settings at maximum quality. For a start this player is very attractive and is solidly built and the design of it fits in well with surrounding products. The picture quality through component is highly impressive, there is no blurring or fussiness in quick moving images in DVDs such as action movies and the pictures produced are extremely sharp and very strong in colour. The player also lets you edit the picture... Read review

Advantages: Slim design, excellent picture, full remote
Disadvantages: None

...I bought the Pioneer DV-350 as a birthday present to myself in December 2002, and have not been disappointed. The slim silver design is uncluttered and gives it a modern look that is unlikely to date quickly. I paid about £110 at Richer Sounds, Birmingham. I got a decent SCART lead at the same time. As far as I know, this exact model is no longer produced but second hand ones are available for less than £60. There may well be new ones lying around, so it’s worth looking. With the continued tumbling fall of DVD players and cheaper DVD Recorders, those looking for their first player could be inundated with choices but I hope you feel you can read on. Other reviews state that the player is multi-regional. I’m sure this is the case, but I bought mine on the understanding that it was only Region 2. In other words, would only play DVDs made...

Advantages: Great sound and picture, plenty of features
Disadvantages: Has left me with 100 "no-longer-viewed" videos!

...a Region free player seemed pointless! After a little more research I found out that my TV did support both formats, so a region free player was at the top of my Christmas list. More research told me that another useful feature found on many DVD players was the ability to playback MP3 discs, a new type of CD that can hold over 200 songs..."Another must-have" said the part of me that only that very morning had just rearanged my 500 CD collection! So, with all this information running around inside my head, I started looking for DVD players to buy.....And then I seen it! The Pioneer DV-350 Silver, I certainly looked stylish, I thought, how about the price? Only £129....Looking even better. But does it have all the features I wanted?..... Multi region? YES! MP3 Playback?.....YES! A ton of other features involving sound, subtitling and connection... Read review

Advantages: Looks Good, Fantastic Sound even at low volumes
Disadvantages: Remote Control !!!

...I have had this Amplifier for a while now, and it has given me hours of absolutely perfect listening. I have always liked Pioneer, I think that thier build quality is scond to none, if you have ever looked inside a Pioneer product you will know what I mean. This amplifier is great for listening at iethger louad or soft volumes. No one listens to music at 150db all the time So it is important for an amplifier to play well at low volumes. Thje pioneer still manages to give good bass response and very good clarity even at very low levels. I honestly can't fault this piece of equipment.... Read review

Advantages: It would have been a nice drive if it worked
Disadvantages: support from pioneer uk

...I had this drive and at first I was very pleased with it. It looked the business and was fast. It wasn't long before I realised it was slightly scratching cds with its slot in mechanism and seemed to be a poor reader on a lot of cds about half way in. Also cdrw compatibility was poor. The company I bought it off was Linefeed and their customer service seemed a lot to be desired not particulary friendly and the timescale they said for repairs was at least a month from sending. so I approached Pioneer wanting to send it directly to them for repair (Sending to Linefeed would have meant them waiting until they had a good half a dozen faulty pioneer drives before sending to Pioneer). I spoke to someone there and they were nice and friendly and said I needed to send it to Linefeed first but if there was any problems they would follow it up... Read review

Advantages: Same functionality as CDJ-1000 but half the price
Disadvantages: None I have found

...I have owned the Pioneer CMX-3000 for almost two years now. My dilemma was that I wanted CD decks, but couldn't afford to spend £1,400 on a pair of CDJ-1000MKIII but still wanted the build quality and functions of a Pioneer unit. I believe I have found this with this unit. As well as having an auto cue, it has a built in loop function which basically acts as a sampler. Once loop points have been set it can then be saved into the bank memory of the unit, which is another great feature. From my extensive use of the unit, I can honestly say that I have never had any trouble with it, and I recommend it to any dj (being beginner, intermediate, or advanced). I believe that with this unit you are getting as much funtionality and build quality as the CDJ-1000 but at a snip of the price!... Read review

Advantages: Quality of picture and sound
Disadvantages: CD playback not as good as CD separates

...Ive been looking to replace my PC as a source of DVD playback, and after much searching and demoing, I found the Pioneer DVD 535. I have still not seen any reviews of this machine in the press, however going on the well known quality of the 525 I shelled out £209 and have definately been more than happy. I have seen some forums discuss a noisy platter, but compared with most I demoed it was nice and quiet. Have a look if your in the market for a £200-300 DVD player....you wont be sorry....

Advantages: Slim-line; £115 price tag; multi-region function
Disadvantages: doesnt come with pioneer surround sound system!

...:~: REVIEW :~: I bought my DVD off www.purelygadgets.co.uk. I had never used the website before and i believe that none of my friends had either. The DVD player cost me £114.95 and came with an 18 month extended warranty as standard. The price and warranty was a major factor in my decision to buy the player from this site. However i would recommend this player for both its functionality and aesthetic qualities. The DV-696 is not just slim line but wafer thin. When i unpackaged it i was stunned by how sleek this movie beast was. I'm not too sure of the figures and statics but just look at the picture for proof of what i am saying! The DVD player arrived on my doorstep 3 days after i had ordered it, which was very satisfactory. The postage charge was minimal and for thew quality of service, well worth paying. I have had many...

Advantages: Good DVD player with lots of features
Disadvantages: Not very solid build

...I bought the Pioneer DV-355 DVD player after selling my previous one, which was also a Pioneer. Features wise, this DVD player is exactly the same as the Pioneer DV-353-K. It has all functions that you would expect from a DVD player plus more. Firstly the design; It is very slim and very light, with a silver case. The DVD disk tray is in the centre of the player. On the far left is the power button with the eject and play buttons to the immediate right of the disk tray. Below the tray are the stop, pause, skip forwards and skip backwards buttons. An that's all! No other buttons or functions are available on the system face which makes the appearance very clean and sophisticated. To the right of the system is the LCD display which displays all relevant information as to what type of disk is playing, time elapsed, track, currently... Read review

Advantages: design, sound quality, it's Pioneer, remote control
Disadvantages: price!

...By long time Pioneer is known as one of the greatest and reliable producers of musical equipments and electronics as Tv, speakers, boxes audio, readers, etc. And obviously with this other product it has confirmed its fame. The new Pioneer DEH-P 9800 BT is in fact one of the most competitive car sistem of the market, particularly this model endowed with a power of 200 Watts (in your car it will absolutely be necessary a subwoofer. Bluetooth, device control changes cd (suggest to install it under the anterior passenger seat), external device for interface iPod, reader CD, 4 channels in exit, reproducing mp3 mwa, OEL dispaly. These are some of the principal characteristics of this car audio that if you will know how to predispose in suitable way it will give you great satisfactions.
