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!

...other DVD players and a few combo's, to be honest nowadays they are all much of a muchness however i believe that pioneer are a cut above the rest. I would advise buyers to look into buying pioneer surround speakers (have a look on Amazon) for the total movie effect! Weighing in at 1.7kg this player is not going to cause a problem during installation. It is easy to connect and following the quick-connect guide you will be watching top quality playback in a matter of minutes. You can keep an exisiting VCR player if you wish, however this can make connection possible just ensure you have enough scart plug sockets before making a purchase. A list of compatiable formats cna be found on pioneers website however believe you me nearly all forms of DVD, VCD and CD can be played through this player. It is compatable with MP3, JPEG etc...

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: Outstanding sound on CD playback, good display, face-off, loads of facilities.Remote contol
Disadvantages: Average radio reception, some operations buried in sub-menus

...I purchased this head unit back in 2002as part of a major hifi install in my Audi 80 Avant. I had previous experience with the DEH-P9100 head unit installed in my Ford Fiesta Zetec-S which was awesome and would have been purchased again apart from the fact it had been discontinued. So, I popped down to Bass Junkies in Wolverhampton and parted with a cool £525 inc installation for this dream head unit. Despite this being something of a blind buy, after set-up I needn't have worried. It hooked up perfectly to the Kenwood 4" spkrs in the front, Pioneer 5 1/2 " spkrs in the rear and the active bass tube/Cd changer in the boot. CD sound reproduction is excellent and changing the disc is a breeze-just push the change button and you're away. It also benefits from a stunningly clear display which always keeps you informed with just enough info... Read review

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: 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.

Advantages: hi sound quality as usualy
Disadvantages: price

...Second Pioneer Premier Unit that I have gotten in the past year and they just keeping better and better! This unit is the best I have ever seen or heard. The sound is amazing and there is no need to get an amp for your subs, if you don\'t want an insane amount of power going to them, the unit handles with them in the back speaker spots. Although I haven\'t tried this yet! The usb portion is by far the best, I have heard of people plugging 40GB hard drives into this! This is one unit that you wont be replacing in a year more like three to four, but then with the way technology goes I just might be wrong! Enjoy it but remember to look around and research before you buy! And don\'t pay attention to all the reviews on items some people are just stupid and jerks, but keep and open mind!... Read review
