8 December 2001
Summary: The Pioneer DV-440 sells for (price), plays CD-R, VCD and MP3. Sounds like a good value, doesn't it? Unfortunately, if you compare it to two great inexpensive players...
Summary: Highly recommended. Cannot find anything wrong about it. Plays everything you throw at it, even converts PAL VCD to NTSC (cuts some lines at the top and bottom).
