Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Pioneer DV-343 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-343 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-343 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-343'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-343 shows its mettle delivering excellent picture and sound, well above the standards the price might lead you to expect. --Miles Berkeley

Manufacturer's Description
Consider the sleek DV-343 when you think about DVD-Video. Superb high quality images and purely perfect sound - thanks to separated audio and video signal processing. And this practical unit plays CD-R/CD-RW discs too. An improved dot-matrix-type display mathces the displays of A/V recievers, like the VSX-D510.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pioneer DV-343 DVD Player, 8 Nov 2003
By Christos Stathis "pantelis43" (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Pioneer DV-343 DVD Player is a very good and reliable dvd-player, offering great sound and picture! It is capable of playing more or less anything, from Dvd to Cd-r and Cd-rw discs. It is black and quite small (regular size). Among others,it features: a) Twin wave Laser Pickup- separate laser diodes optimised for DVD and CD, with CD-R/RW playback (also plays un-finalised CD-R's), b) Composite + S-Video + SCART outputs, c) Digital outputs transmits 24/96 data as well as Dolby Digital, MPEG and DTS, d) Improved PCB design layout with audio and video sections clearly separated has upgraded the technical performance- such as improved Signal-to-noise and dynamic range, e) Composite + S-Video + SCART outputs, and f) Coaxial digital output. The only disadvantage that one may notice,concerns only the remote control, because of it's small and close together buttons. Very nice quality, really good price for what it offers. Overall: 5/5!

4.0 out of 5 stars DV-343, 13 Dec 2001
By Nick (Australia) - See all my reviews
Just recieved my DV-343 from Amazon. Its very easy to set up with great picture and sound. The unit is quite light but still seems well made. Minor point is the small buttons on the remote which make it slightly hard to use. Would have given it a 5 if the region hacks published on the web had worked !

By A Customer
this player will play just about anything.

dvd quality is very good, but where this item shines is with VCD's/SVCD's. it plays everthing i have thrown at it. even using the cheapest CDR's available causes no problems.

well worth the price and plays disks that much more expensive players struugle with
