Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Pioneer DV-340 is a solid and very capable entry level DVD player, which will play just about any disc you care to throw at it while maintaining a consistently high level of performance. The DV-340 is not the most attractive of DVD players, being a little chunky when the current vogue is for super-slim designs. The front carries the bare minimum of buttons to control the basic functions. At first glance it appears a little light on flashy features. You get the basics and little more. There is no zoom function for example and the single-speed Fast Forward zips through video a little too quickly for fine adjustments. Inside it is a different story, there's a nifty set of electronic enhancements to improve sound and picture quality including automatic jitter adjustment, separate video and sound circuits, a patented error-correction system called Viterbi and a twin laser pick-up which means you can play CD-R and CD-RW discs. This makes it very attractive if you've a ! stack of 'golds'. It can memorise settings for 15 discs, so you can lock-out specific discs from little hands. Another useful feature is the ability to switch between PAL and NTSC output, by default it comes set to automatic.
The DV-340 carries the basic set of connectors including S-VHS, composite and a SCART socket for video, plus analogue and co-axial digital for sound. A single SCART can be troublesome when you have a video similarly equipped. There's no RGB output wired into the SCART socket and no optical output for sound.
The remote control will be your primary method of controlling your DVD player and the DV-340's has forty plus rather small and similar buttons which can be fiddly to use. It has a notably fast disc access, the DVD menu popping up in seconds.
Where it matters, on the screen, the DV-340 shows its mettle delivering excellent picture and sound, well above the standards the price might lead you to expect. --Miles Berkeley
