Summary: Laser pickup on its way out
Review: After about a year and just out of warranty I've also had problems with the laser pickup.
The unit no longer plays any of my CDs, after reading the other reviews I'm expecting the DVD laser to quit soon.
Excellent sound and picture...... while it lasted. Wouldn't touch another Pioneer product unless they were giving them away.

Summary: Watch out! Pioneer has notoriously BAD lasers!!
Review: After purchasing A pioneer DVC-503 it had a defective laser and was sent back to the store. The replacement was then found to have a defective laser 1 month later (outside store replacement now under warranty). 3 months in the shop while they order laser after laser (3 in total) which are ALL found defective they finally replace the product (again). 1 year later the product dies yet again!(yup you guessed it, BAD laser, thats 5 so far!). Pioneer wants to SELL me another dvd player because the old one is now OUT of warranty! Needless to say I DO NOT recommend buying ANY pioneer laser products (dvd cd laser disc etc). I wont be buying ANY pioneer products ever again!

Summary: BE AWARE
Review: BUYERS, BE AWARE.
I had 2 DVD players made by Pioneer. They are nice machines... for a little over a year. Then the warranty expires. The problem these players seem to have has to do with poorly designed dual laser pick up (one - for DVDs, the other one - for CDs and Video CDs). The first player I had stopped playing CDs and Video CDs, I got the other one - this one stopped playing DVDs.
On the positive side - the picture is very good, so if you are after a short-term buy go ahead, otherwise look for another brand.

Summary: Awesome DVD player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Hands down the best DVD changer on the market for the price. I've always bought Pioneer products in the past and they've never let me down yet. This player is no exception. Plays everything I put in it, including high-bitrate SVCDs (near DVD quality) that I've ripped from DVDs. Few other players on the market have this capability, and even fewer multidisc machines. Also has ALL the connections you need for audio and video. This player should work with pretty much any system you hook it to. Oh, and the DVD playback quality is flawless, I dare say better than some... machines out there. Go buy it now, it's worth it....

Summary: Had what I wanted ...
Review: Here's the story behind why I got this player and why I would again: * If you're like me and don't have an HDTV you can first off rule out the need for progressive scan. This player doesn't have it = "so what?" * I don't have the space for lots and lots of components, so I really wanted a multidisc player that had CD-R recognition. This enabled me to get rid of my old cd player. * Had to have component output. Wouldn't want to start out with something obsolete. If you've got the same wishlist and criteria, this is the one. I'd have no qualms buying it again. Look around .. you can probably get it for ~$.. if you're patient and look through all of the online electronics vendors. I got it through Amazon because I wanted to redeem some gift certificates. one final plug: if you want to research and compare electronics you ABSOLUTELY MUST check out.. you're welcome

Summary: Pioneer DV-C503
Review: I did a lot of research before buying this player. And it paid off. If you want a good 5 disc player that plays CDR's or VCD's flawlessly? Look no further. I primarily bought this to replace my CD Player which was dying and this full 24bit DAC sounds amazing. The bass defintion compaered to my old Technics is like comparing apples to oranges. THe Video is just as good for a player in this price range. Good features, fast loading, great sound and a good picture. A bit thin on scanning features but so what. The only con I have found, is the drive is a bit loud when playing DVD's. So if your placing it very close to your viewing seat it could be annoying. Remote is fair, could be better. But it's more than usable. I'd buy it again!

Summary: Wonderful player, then it died!
Review: I enjoyed (past tense) this player right up until two weeks ago. It had a great picture, was easy to use, and had a lot of nice features. My only complaint was with the remote, which had rather tiny buttons and seemed rather cluttered. I often found myself hitting the chapter advance button when I wanted to hit pause.
I was also using this as a multi-disc CD player taking advantage of its random play feature. Then suddenly one day it quit playing CDs. It still played DVDs just fine. It took the local Poineer service dealer two weeks to get a repair estimate, and it came to more than I paid for the unit in the first place! They said the laser was bad. I told them to junk it, and I'm now shopping anew. The machine was only 20 months old.

Summary: Excellent value, excellent quality.
Review: I have not had much experience with DVD players, this being my first. But I am very impressed by this player and its many features. Setting it up was a snap and once I got the S-Video cable as well, the picture quality was even higher. Great features at a great price and easy to set up.

Summary: Pioneer DVC503 DVD
Review: I like this DVD player. At first i picked up a Sony 660, which I like very much but it didnt play my cdr's. Which is pointless. So I returned it for the Pioneer DVC503, which I have had no problems with at all. I have it loaded with 3 movies and 2 cdr's. The Video and Audio quality are class A and the setup was easy. My only gripe is the remote. The buttons are kinda small and its not lit up, but I can live with it. Its worth the money and it will play your cdr's. I have never encountered a problem where the player didnt recognize a disk, ever. I give it a thumbs up, you cant go wrong with the Pioneer DVC503 DVD...
