What's Hot

Fast transfer, high image quality, many features, intuitive interface

What's Not

Poor remote control design, slow channel switching

The Final Word

Its image quality is stellar, and its dubbing superfast. Aside from a cramped remote, there's little to complain about with this Pioneer.
