In Reply to: Why can't I get a DVD player that works!? posted by SJT on January 25, 2001 at 08:49:17:
I also purchased an Apex, returned it for the same reason, purchased the Sony 360, returned it, finally purchasing a Pioneer Dv-333 which is MUCH better than both of the other two players combined. The construction whoops the Sony or Apex, and the sound is better. The strange thing is that the Apex actually had a really good picture (component out), but since it didn't play all DVDs, I had to take it back.
Definitely get the Pioneer 333 unless you can afford/find better.

I've used my dad's Pioneer 434 which is the same as the 333 but with progressive scan (useless in his situation because his TV is not compatible eventhough it is a digital television). Anyway, I liked the picture and sound of the 434, but I didn't like its build quality and I did not like the remote. The scan features are lacking in my opinion, and no zoom. I bought a Toshiba 1600 which is playing excellent so far (but might return it because it's 2001 replacement, the 2700, will be coming out soon). So I'm happy with the Toshiba for now, and my dad who just sits down and watches his movies without playing with anything is happy with his Pioneer. Enjoy.
