Another solid Pioneer product

by narenji Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 12 '02
Pros: Small form factor, Sound/picture quality, multi-format
Cons: Remote control
I remember the time when Sony came up with their really small PC, with the little camera in it... I thought my laptop was pretty small and lightweight, and with it being my first laptop, I was amazed how they can stuff everything in there, and then Sony...

by roarhowl , Mar 04 '02
Pros: MP3 Capability with mp3 menu system, program feature, resume feature, excellent audio and video quality.

Lots of Features... Great value!

by theppler , Mar 02 '02
Pros: slim, MP3 playback
Cons: MP3 filenames limited to 8 characters
Before I purchased this unit, I shopped around to find all of the features I wanted (good quality MP3 playback, optical digital output). This one turned out to be the best for the money.
It's slim design really caught my eye too. When you think...

by denvr7broncoz7 , Feb 26 '02
Pros: Slim, compact, great picture quality, plays MP3, Easy to use

This DVD player is economical yet has all of the features for the average movie watcher. It has digital as well as coaxial outputs, easy to connect to any system. The remote control buttons are a little small, but extremely easy to use once you get...

Solid DVD unit

by dafetz , Feb 16 '02
Pros: Small, same size as Pioneer audio equipment, quiet
Cons: None
If you've looked at the features of the unit and they suit your needs, this is an outstanding unit. It's playback is very solid. It has the feel of a well-built product. The small size will help it fit in areas already holding a VCR. The unit is very...

Pioneer DV-444-K

by srmoll , Feb 15 '02
Pros: Very slim profile. Choice of colours (silver, black). Plays MP3 files from CD-R and CD-RW.
Cons: Might not play recordable DVD formats. Some might miss not having component video output.
I had been using a Technics midi-sized Hi-Fi system for several years (about 6 I think). Along with that there was a Sony Minidisc recorder deck, a VHS deck, a Wharfdale DVD player and a digital TV receiver. Too much! I wanted to reduce the amount of...

"Cant beat it"

by shellynjustin , Feb 10 '02
Pros: Its great quality for the price
Cons: The remote is awkward
This is a great player for the money. It offers great CD-R/RW support, playing everything I've stuck in it so far (VCD, SVCD, XVCD, etc). Great quality in both video and sound. Only complaint so far is the controller, which is somewhat ackward. For $150,...

Good for the money, good for the show!

by jhankins , Jan 24 '02
Pros: Slim-line design, excellent picture quality, user friendly interface
Cons: MP3 menu system isn't the best, some contradictions on controls in the manual.
What a better use of my 21 month old's extra Christmas money and the rest of the money from my returned gifts than to buy a DVD player! Of course, now I'm watching "Lady and the Tramp", "101 Dalmations", and other "Doggie!" movies multiple times in one...

DVD's and MP3's, please!

by jackmahagauf , Jan 17 '02
Pros: Excellent picture and sound quality in a sleek and handsome unit.
Cons: Plays MP3's well enough, but MP3 menu navigation was an obvious afterthought.
For Christmas this year, my mother wanted to buy my family a “family gift”, and suggested getting us a DVD player. Rather than trudging out to the store, buying no particular unit, and shipping it 800 miles to us, she simply sent me a check for $150 and...

No Ghostbusters?

by Spikey , Jan 11 '02
Pros: Plays MP3s, Slim design, Component video outs and digital audio out, Nice menuing system
Cons: Doesn't support MP3 ID3 tags, Remote not lighted, Problems playing Ghostbusters (see review)
I purchased the DV-440 because I wanted a "good" DVD player that would last and would play MP3s as well. When I found the Pioneer DV-440 I was astounded at the price, under $200 for a DVD player that plays MP3s!

The DV-440 plays:

Great picture

by hammett59 , Jan 10 '02
Pros: Good picture, over all dependability seems good
Cons: sometimes the player needs cleaning
Over all, I think this is a good buy. It has great picture and it looks really dependable. That's what the American consumers want. They want to be able to buy a product and be able to use it with out any hassle. It was really easy to set up with...

Ahhh, DVD!

by toast822 , Jan 04 '02
Pros: Slim design, amazing picture, stunning sound, plays mp3’s, comes with everything you need.
Cons: Slightly confusing remote.
Why the Pioneer DV-440?

I had been looking around for a DVD player for about 6 months, and I kept coming back to the DV-440, because of its slim design. I had just 2 1/2 inches of room to play with on my stereo/TV stand, and I did not...

Good but not good enough

by nancy_parks25 , Dec 28 '01
Pros: sleekness, size, audio and picture quality
Cons: price
This player is a very good one. It is slim and sleek and fits almost anywhere you would like to put it. Its buttons are easy to figure out even for a beginner. I like Pioneer products. They seem to withstand the wear and tear of time. The price range...

The Complete Package! Updated Jan 02, 2002

by dynamiteroll , Dec 19 '01
Pros: Full compatibility (DVDR/W, S/X/VCD, MP3), outstanding picture and sound, a great value
Cons: A tad slow on menu selections, remote is serviceable but seems cheap
After two futile years of waiting for affordable DVD Audio, I finally decided it to be little more than a niche product and opted for an inexpensive but reasonably high quality single disc player. Final candidates included the Panasonic RV31, Toshiba...

Pioneer DV-440 DVD Player - A Good Choice But There Are Better Ones

by dkozin dkozin is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Nov 28 '01
Pros: Picture and quality, price, features, size, outs
Cons: There are better choices, remote
The Pioneer DV-440 sells for $179, plays CD-R, VCD and MP3. Sounds like a good value, doesn’t it?

Unfortunately, if you compare it to two great inexpensive players from Panasonic and Samsung (RV31 and M301 respectively), the DV-440 doesn’t...
