Very productive, extremely easy to use and a great price. You won't be disappointed with this one! Buy it now!

Review: Home audio component systems have evolved over the last decade to follow the multimedia trend...No longer are we merely enticed by stereo sound...Audio and Video have meshed to form Home-theater surround sound...With the rising popularity of DVD players, Pioneer has decided to integrate the DVD into a changer mechanism...The result is a CD & DVD changer ...Built-in Dolby Digital Decoder With 5.1 Analog Output and DTS DVD digital output...24bit Resolution Audio D/A Converter With 96kHz/24bit Digital Output (when permitted) ...Pioneer's exclusively designed Twin Wave Laser Pickup...On Screen Display programmable menu with selectability for prompts in English/Spanish/French...Video Out: Component (Y, Cr, Cb) Output x 1; S2 Video Output x 2; Composite Video Output x 2...Audio Out: AC-3 Bit Stream/PCM optical Output x 1; AC-3 Bit Stream/PCM Coaxial Output x 1; Analog Audio Output x 2...Pioneer Ergonomic remote control...Component stackable...This Unit Is A Pretty Good Choice For The Functionality, But Because Of This, I Feel That Overall Performance Was Sacrificed...

Summary: expert analysis
Review: I love my pioneer dvc302d dvd player. The picture and sound quality issuperb. The looks of it are also very nice. The only drawback from aperfect 5 star product was the forward and reverse scanning feature. Instead of having both a quick moving,smooth search/scan and fast scan,it only has a fast scan which tends to overpass a section one may be searching for. I am a big fan of new technologies and the price for this product is just right. The three disc tray is also great...not too many as a 5 disc and definatley better than one.Just be careful not to stare too long at the little blue light. Its aura is hypnotizing. just as a reminder,pioneer was the first to have it. Now the other companies are copying it. Pioneer was also the first in laser video. You cant go wrong here.

Summary: Throw your CD changer away!
Review: I recently purchased this DVD-changer, and I'm thrilled with it. There are more than enough features to keep you busy, and it's a very good looking unit. But what's most important here is that the video and audio are INCREDIBLE! Really, you can't go wrong, especially for the price. The remote isn't any worse than most out there these days. Unless you spend big $$$, they always give you a cheap remote. But I'm notoriously picky about video equipment, and the Pioneer has exceeded my expectations.

Brief highlights include: Built-in digital decoder with outputs for coax and optical, as well as six analog outs. Component, s-video, and composite video outputs. User-friendly menu system with graphical on-screen interface. Picture adjustment for regular, cinema, or animation (cinema is stunning). Beautiful color and clarity. Fast access to layer-switches, and scene changes. Onboard memory for retaining setup options of 15 DVDs (very handy), and the unit will remember where you stopped viewing up to 5 discs if you can't finish a movie.

The only thing missing is a zoom feature, but believe me, you'll never miss it.

All in all, a superb player. If you're looking to get into DVD and would like to preserve some rack space, toss your CD-changer out the window and buy this thing!

Summary: Are you making home Video CDs? Buy this unit!
Review: Nowadays, more and more computer companies are producing computers with the video editing and production functions. Sony, Dell, Compaq and iMac AVs are examples of these machines that come with video editing components and a CD burner for you to burn your own movie, or, Video CD on a CD. However, unlike people in China or Japan, where video cd players are more popular than DVD players, people in the US will soon find that their home DVD players are not able to play video CDs. Some of the units will be able to play Video CDs encoded using the version 1 standards, but not able to play VCD version 2 or 3 standards. Other DVD units simply do not accept Video CDs recorded on a CD-R. This Pioneer is one of the Pioneer DVD families that fully accept a "home-made" video cd. This makes sharing your vocation CD with your grandma's family on her big screen TV and home theater possible. Another beautiful function of this unit is that you may stop at anytime while you're watching a movie. When you come back, it will start right from where you stopped. Most DVD units require that you either use fast forward or scene selection to jump to where you left, which requires more steps on your remote.

Summary: A Disappointing End
Review: Pioneer has outdone itself in the audio arena, as this unit flawlessly plays CD and CD-R discs (even with blemishes) better than any CD or laserdisc player I've owned. Frankly, the 3-disk tray has only been used for music since I made the purchase 10 months ago. Unfortunately, the DVD player's abilities do not rate as highly with regard to video. First is the loud, obnoxious POP! and black screen that occurs during layer switching on the DVD. Second, rented DVD's have never played "clean" from start to finish, often being interrupted with what looks like old-fashioned vertical hold problems. At first I thought this was typical, but friends do not have the same problems. Even on newly purchased DVD's the player can produce a loud POP! and skip a few frames when a new chapter switches in. Outstanding features, but a disappointing end to a promising, diverse player.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pioneer DVC302D 3-Disc DVD Player
Review: The feature I liked the most is the CDR Play back. The Pioneer DVC302D plays audio and video CDs created using my PC (camcorder/TV adapter/PC). With component video connection between the DVD player and the TV the pic is crystal clear.

I am not very happy with the remote controller, looks like the rage is under 10ft.
