Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Pioneer DVR-RT300-S DVD Recorder and VCR Combo offers a space-saving combination of equally well-endowed technologies. This unit lets you enjoy your existing collection of VHS tapes and still move into the world of DVDs and DVRs.

Perhaps the most distinguishing of its high-end feature set is the unit's recording capabilities. You can record VHS to DVD, or DVD to VHS. This cross-recording offers a flexibility few others do. You can also play WMA and MP3 files; and view JPEGs.

The DVD player features progressive scan output. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

The tape player sports a HiFi 4-head VCR that delivers high quality video and stereo audio. VCR Plus ensures you see the best picture quality possible.

A host of output choices mean you can use whichever connection is most convenient or highest-quality. There's the standard composite A/V (RCA) jacks in both the front and rear. S-Video and component video output connect higher-end TVs, and digital audio output lets you send audio to most any home theater system.

The DVR-RT300-S is a great hybrid at an even more stellar price. This unit lets you play the old-school tapes and still enjoy the newest DVD technology.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Worst electronics product I have ever owned.......2006-08-06

This item has been nothing but trouble. The operation is overly complex. To use the recorder you must constantly refer to the manual. The manual is poorly written, if you follow the manual's procedure for VCR timer recording it will not work, as they left out a critical extra step.

I am in the process of boxing it up to send back to Pioneer after 7 months. One reason is that has never been able to dub from tape to DVD. The second reason is that it died earlier this weak. The video output is pure static in both DVD and VCR modes.

4 out of 5 stars Does what it's supposed to.......2006-03-15

This is the only DVD recorder I've ever owned, so I have nothing to compare it to. However, I'm an stereo equipment guru and a recording studio engineer, so I have a good grasp of electronics.

This unit works great, and does exactly what it's supposed to. I've been very pleased with the video and audio quality (and I'm very picky). The only thing that's bothersome is the amount of time it takes from when you insert a disc to when it's ready to record or perform other operations. Also, you always have to press the "DVD/VCR" button on the remote to get a picture on your screen. If you don't do this, you'll keep getting the regular TV station broadcast. This button is not on the player itself, so it makes me scared that the remote will break and I won't be able to use the DVD player anymore!

All in all a good value and I've been very happy with it.

4 out of 5 stars good for the money and for a pioneer.......2005-09-29

I'm still new at using this item but so far i'm happy with it.It is what i expected from a Pioneer brand.It has a good picture,but my Pioneer dvd 343 player in my opinion has a better picture quality.Otherwise im happy with this DVR RT 300s combo.I'm pretty much set in my ways i use only Pioneer brand equipment.

1 out of 5 stars Get something with multi media writing formats.......2005-08-16

I bought this unit without checking what media it accepts. It only writes to DVD-R/DVD-RW. It just so happen that my house is full of DVD+R...so i had to go purchase it. Then I set it up to my set top box and for some reason I couldn't get it to record. It might be user error, but it was all very confusing, so I ended up returning the unit.

1 out of 5 stars Pioneer dosn't give a ...........2005-08-12

Remote control frequency is the same as satellite receiver; Pioneer will not support this problem, sorry thank you for shopping.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU USE A SAMSUNG RECIEVER.
