Pioneer DVC603 DVD Player

Pioneer DVC603 DVD Player

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Pioneer DV-C603 DVD player is a five-disc DVD/CD carousel changer that gives you the benefit of a CD changer plus the ability to play the latest in DVD. Let's put it this way--why have two components when you can have both CD and DVD functionality in one unit? Step up to a great CD changer and DVD player at the same time!

This player utilizes 10-bit/27 MHz video D/A conversion to provide rapid processing of the video signal with less signal loss, ensuring maximum image resolution and images free of artifacts, while a 480-progressive signal output provides 480-line progressive (non-interlaced) full frame resolution performance to compatible 480-p capable displays. The result is a more filmlike image, with enhanced brightness, contrast, color resolution, and fidelity. As DVDs are mastered in 480-p, you can enjoy the flicker-free images the movies are engineered with.

Component-video outputs, when connected to televisions equipped with compatible inputs, provide the highest level of video signal transfer quality available today. By dividing the video signal into component elements, component-video outputs deliver a remarkable improvement in picture detail at maximum resolution, with unmatched color purity and edge detail. Color blooming and "hanging dots" are eliminated, along with other NTSC artifacts.

Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound compatibility delivers all the incredible sound that Hollywood can put on a DVD to a receiver equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder. Dolby Digital provides six separate discrete audio channels: left, right and center front, right and left surround, and a low frequency subwoofer channel as a listener option. Dolby Digital is the first perceptual coding scheme designed specifically to code multichannel digital audio. It divides sizes optimized with respect to the frequency selectivity of human hearing. This makes it possible to sharply filter coding noise and reduce data consumption while delivering dynamic theater-quality sound. Unlike Dolby Pro Logic surround, Dolby Digital channels are entirely discrete, with five full-frequency (20 Hz-20 KHz) channels and one low-frequency effects subwoofer (20-120 Hz) channel. DVD players with Dolby Digital capability are also compatible with Pro Logic surround and two-channel stereo systems.

The Dolby Digital and DTS optical and coaxial outputs, when connected to a receiver or amplifier with a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, bring you the phenomenal experience of video through five discrete full-range channels. Stunning sound effects and crystal-clear dialogue are the most notable results of this connectivity option.

Video black level control allows you to achieve remarkable contrast from your DVD player by allowing not only the NTSC standard black level, but delivering a "blacker-than-black" setting that produces incredible detail and vibrant colors.

The 96 kHz/24-bit audio D/A converter maximizes DVD and CD audio performance capability, providing smoother, less digitized transitions, and richer sonic texture.

Full-function remote control provides complete control of the unit from the comfort and convenience of your chair.

Good Product.......2002-12-27

I've had this DVD player for 18 months now and have experienced no problems. DVD's look fine and CD's sound quite good. No problems with skipping, the only issue I've come across is that sometimes the unit has trouble picking up a CD/DVD in a slot. After reopening and hifting the disc a little the problem is resolved.

BE AWARE.......2002-10-18

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.

Not a CD player.......2002-01-14

I purchased the DVC603 for two reasons, to be used as a DVD player and to replace/consolidate my Sony five disc CD player. After using it now for five months I'm now not so happy with my decision. Although it does a great job playing DVD's (as almost all DVD players now do) it does a poor job functioning as a CD player. If a CD has the slightest scratch it will skip and about 30% of the time when I put a CD into the player it has trouble reading it and opens back up again, very annoying. Finally, if your like me and you like to load five CD's, hit randon and let it go beware, it takes a long time to shuffle between CD's. Unfortunatley I had to go back into the garage, unbox the old CD player and bring it back into the house. Now I'm stuck with a five disk DVD player.

A great unit for the price.......2001-11-22

I bought one of these about 2 months ago. So far it works perfect. It will play anything, SVCD,VCD,DVD,CDR,CDRW, with no problems. It is quiet. The remote is a tad small and hard to read in the dark. Picture and sound quality is excellent.

Don't buy this.......2001-10-02

I bought one of these in March, 2001. By July the thing had died. After a month in the shop, Pioneer decided to send me a replacement. It arrived DOA. This product is a piece of junk, its cheaply made and Pioneer's warranty is worse than useless. They've already stopped selling this garbage and won't send me a new one or refund my money, just keep sending me someones junk. Don't say no one warned you. Avoid this thing.
