Pioneer DV-370 DVD Player - page 5

Conclusion

The DV-370 is a compact DVD player, nicely designed, and with a large list of features. It came in two colors, silver and black with names DV-370-s and DV-370-b respectively. The menu inerface is excellent as it is the remote control itself.

According to our reading tests, the player is capable of reading almost everything. Advanced formats such as DivX, Xvid, SACD and DVD-Audio are not supported, logical for such a low price. The player managed to also read our new DL media burned with the latest DVD DL recorders available on the market, such as Philips DVDRW885K, Sony DRU-700A, LiteOn SOHW-832S, NEC ND-2510 and BenQ DW-1600A DL.

The error correction is one of the strong features of the DV-370. It managed to playback successfully all of our defective test media reporting negligible errors. As we described in the appropriate part of this review, we couldn't detect, visually or audibly, any errors. Only in case of the CD-Check audio CD, there was a single click in the last track.

The player is priced at about 115 euro. A very good choice for someone who wants an affordable and reliable solution.
