Amazon.com Review

The Pioneer DV-F727 is not the average, run-of-the-mill multidisc changer. Even if your audio CD and DVD collections are quite sizeable, you can stash the goods neatly inside this 301-disc capacity "media server," then call selections up with the same ease and excitement as you would by keying an entry on a jukebox. An onscreen cataloging system helps manage your inventory, with an auto update feature that scans for new disc additions.

Should your collection really bulk out, it's even possible to double the system's capacity by linking two DV-F727s. All the while, you'll still maintain easy control over the whole kit 'n caboodle via a single, fully-featured and user-friendly remote control (supplied), or using an optional, plug-in PS/2 style computer keyboard or mouse.

One of the most elaborately featured DVD players we've ever encountered, the DV-F727 also takes care of the basics quite well--delivering pristine pictures and sound with component-video (interlace), S-Video, and composite-video outputs. Sound-wise, its optical and coaxial digital-audio outputs definitely deliver the Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM stereo (up to 96 kHz, 24-bit) soundtracks. The player's Burr-Brown audio digital-to-analog converter and conventional analog jacks also proved quite fine.

Handy jog-shuttle dials on both the front panel and the remote make it a pleasure to manipulate the multispeed forward and reverse trick-play options.

Customizable settings let you vary picture parameters to taste or adjust the audio dynamic range for late night listening--so that soft sounds such as dialogue can be heard more clearly without making loud sounds even louder.

Given its immense disc storage capacity, this changer is remarkably compact--measuring about 16.5 inches wide, 17 inches deep, and 7.75 high.

The holding slots are accessible, one at a time, behind a motorized opening/closing Plexiglas "hood." Of course, there's also the option to quickly install and then remove a single disc--via the dedicated 301st slot--with its operation complemented by special "single loader" access and play keys.

Entering menu text and numerical data about stockpiled titles is reasonably easy. Information can be added using the onscreen soft keyboard in tandem with the cursor control joystick on the remote, or with the selection dial on the front panel. To speed up the process, there's also the option of plugging in and entering text on a conventional PS/2 computer keyboard.

Making life easier still, some music CDs now contain and automatically stream their own album and song title info (CD Text), which this changer will conveniently read, display, and automatically integrate into its program menu memory. If implemented, DVD text information is also downloadable. (A front-panel display lights up to indicate the presence of such text on a disc.)

A couple of bummers: you must abbreviate text entries when a title or artist's name exceeds 12 characters, the max this changer's memory will store and display. CD Text titles longer than 12 characters, while not memorized, will scroll across the LCD screen. Also take note: when a disc is playing, you can't enter data, or add or remove other discs.

Once program data is entered into the megachanger's memory, titles can be sorted and accessed by format (DVD or CD), disc title (alphabetically), or disc number.

Another option: you can create and name 20 custom files (10 DVD/Video CD and 10 CD) for automatic playback. However, there's still no avoiding the mandatory setup menus and unskippable FBI Warning before DVD play commences.

All in all, the DV-F727 represents a remarkable piece of engineering and entertainment prowess from the folks at Pioneer.

Pros:

Immense storage capacity neatly organizes your disc library
Easy entry of data via remote control, keyboard, or mouse
Fine video and audio performance
A host of customizable programming and performance parameters

Cons:

Discs can't be exchanged or text entered while a disc is playing
Text entries can't exceed 12 characters
Menu system doesn't accommodate filing by genre or theme

Good product, some issues.......2007-05-13

I bought this unit and set it up with component video cables, most movies play well although some movies with dim scenes are blacked out losing many details. Adjusting the gamma, brightness, and other settings did not help. I contacted Pioneer email support I was referred to their M-F 8-5 phone support, called the tech and he stated 'it's broke, send it back' with the perceived intent of finishing the call as soon as possible. I called back and got the same tech who seemed put out that I called back and putting me on hold for a few minutes the stated 'it's broke' again and wouldn't diagnose further. Working with email tech support after this I got much better support and more detailed diagnostics steps to take (has helped some). Aside from darkened imaged and poor phone support this is a nice product.

Pros: easy of setup and use, good quality image with component video
Cons: darkened images on some movies, no HDMI output, and poor phone support.
Overall a good product that has reached end of production cycle. I'd advise waiting until Pioneer released the new version of this unit before purchasing so that you get the HDMI abilities. Many poor reviews of the Sony models steered me away from that manufacturer.

Pioneer DV-F727 301-Disc DVD Changer.......2007-02-26

I purchased both the Sony DVPCX995V and the Pioneer and compared them side by side. I took the Sony back and kept the Pionneer. This was to simplify the kids life (load all their DVD's and not have to worry about finger prints, scratches etc). The menu is fast and easy and compared the Sony, this thing quickly rotates the the chosen disc. Having to constantly re-enter titles on the Sony was what did it in for me. I haven't had any issues at all with the Pioneer. Remembers all the disc titles even when I am shuffling the discs around for better organization. Well worth the money!

Pros: Quick and easy menu, remembers DVD titles, quick searching for DVD titles.

Cons: Only enter 12 characters for titles, no HDMI, or other High Def output.

Great way to keep discs easily accessible yet safe........2007-01-04

We have two of these units connected to enlarge the capacity even more. With our smaller kids it enables us to load the DVD's when purchased and no one has to handle them again. No more scratches or lost discs. We love these, I just wish I could find something similiar for the playstation and computer games.
We have had our first one for 6 years with no problems to date.

DVD disc changer.......2006-07-10

I all ready have 3 other Sony products operating from one remote.There were no other command controls to add a 4th Sony DVD changer,so I picked this Pioneer disc changer.It stacks up great to the Sony changers I have.Very easy to use right out of box.The one con I can see is once DVD's are loaded I can't seem to find an eject button to remove a DVD if I wanted to.The price was a little higher than the Sony 400 disc DVD player I own but I see no reson not to buy this one.Especially if you only need one and not 3 or more.You can also daisy chain two of these together and have all controls for both in one remote.Again I use a Sony intregated remote commander RM-AV3100 which allows for up to 18 products to be programmed into it.

reliable but with a few glitches.......2004-10-01

I bought this unit to hold my entire library, which it does, but won't in a very short while! The machine has never had any malfunctions such as jammed discs and it gets a very good workout. sound and picture quality are excellent. My number one complaint is that the settings spontaneously change, indicating that the machine is plugged into a widescreen TV. I have a 4:3 TV, but all my movies are widescreen. For some aggravating reason, the player will spontaneously start showing the widescreen movie in FULL screen because it thinks the TV is a WIDE screen unit, even though i have set it numerous times to 4:3!! then i have to stop the movie and change the setting back (for the 30th time) so it will play properly. also, they could have allowed more characters for title input, but that is a minor gripe. the user interface can also be a little clumsy, but i can't complain too much about that either. I would recommend this machine even with its comparitively high price tag.

missing.......2003-01-18

while evaluating and choosing a paper product, an expert would look for the scientific weight (metric g/m²). Your packaging, lists and samples are missing this information. Also it would be good to know whether a piece of paper is acide free (archival) or not. Maybe the luminocity level???

Digital pictures look great on this paper!.......2001-02-03

What fun are your digital pictures if you can't print some of them and take them along?

Thats exactly what I do sometimes and this paper gives me exactly what I need. This glossy paper gives my printed pictures quality as sharp as my computer displays them. Combined with a quality printer ( i use an HP 842C ), colors come out vivid and the clarity is very nice.

Sure its expensive, but if you want to print your digital pictures then this is the paper for you. Hope this helps.

Brochure/Flyer Paper Great for newer Printers!!.......2000-09-06

If you have an older HP printer, 550C etc. The Hewlett Packard C3833A Premium Ink Jet Glossy Paper ($8.94 for 10 Sheets) really adds that extra kick to your work. The High Gloss paper adds great quality to the limited dpi of the printer thus bringing out vivid brilliant colors to your work.

BUT IF YOU HAVE A NEWER HP printer like the 930C, they produce stuning results with the Hewlett Packard C6817A Professional Brochure & Flyer two sided, paper ($8.64 for 50 sheets) MUCH BETTER PRICE PER SHEET, and the pictures are awesome with this paper too. As good as or better than the Hewlett Packard C3833A Premium Ink Jet Glossy Paper because the Brochure/Flyer paper does not artificially shine like plastic like the other high gloss paper does.

The best bang for the buck for the newer printers is definitely the Hewlett Packard C6817A Professional Brochure & Flyer Paper two sided ($8.64 for 50 sheets). WOW!!!

Glossy vs Brochure.......2000-08-27

The Hewlett-Packard C3833A Premium Ink Jet Glossy Paper is more shiny than the HP Professional Brochure & Flyer Paper Two sided Gloss, C6817A.

I ordered the brochure paper on the recommendation thinking it was the same, they are not. If you want that shine that gives real life to your color documents get the Hewlett-Packard C3833A Premium Ink Jet Glossy Paper. 10 sheets of great Glossy (shiny) paper. Yes it is more expensive, it's Glossy not Gloss. You, and your work/art are worth it.

The Brochure paper is an excellent choice, it's just not as shiny. You get what you pay for.

Better economy elsewhere.......2000-06-11

While I don't particularly find much use for most of HP's premium paper line, their glossy papers offer a sufficiently distinct printing experience that one can easily find a use for them. They make excellent paper for final copies of work you intend to display, or even for stuff you merely intend to archive.

This glossy, however, is not particularly recommendable because of its low value-for-money. Only ten sheets are available here. For virtually the same price you can get their professional brochure & flyer paper, which is double-sided and comes in a 50-pack. I therefore can't see an economic rationale to buying this otherwise excellent paper. Look for HP product number C6817A instead.

Buyer Beware!!!!.......2005-07-29

Although I purchased a different unit, the GoVideo 8440 Portable DVD Player, it played exactly 6 movies before dying. GoVideo replaced it with a refurbished model, which arrived in non-working condition. I received a THIRD replacement unit (new)from GoVideo, which failed within minutes out of the box. Please note that I have since discovered that GoVideo Inc. is NOT a member of the Better Business Bureau of Central/Northern Arizona and has MULTIPLE complaints against the company. Purchase at your own risk!!

Product is Great, But Brand Leaves alot to be desired!.......2004-04-06

I originally purchased the GVP7811 model of Govideo player. We had trouble from day 1. Since we did not buy it from an authorized dealer (we had never used amazon before) we did not have the manufacturers warranty. I wrote the co. asking for a discount on a battery pack if I were to buy the DP7030 model. They emailed me back with the standard price without so much as an "I'm sorry" the first unit failed. The only good thing their cust. svc. dept did was tell me to buy the DP7030 instead of the GVP7811. The GVP7811 model is 2 years older and the specs are identical! $100 saved!!!
7030 has same specs. as the 7811 but, alot of nicer features, you can now remove the battery pack to charge or play the dvd without it attached by using power cord. Better sound, same EXCELLENT quality picture. Govideo did tell me had I purchased from amazon or other authorized dealer, they would replace the unit free. Ya live and learn and thanks for 2 DAY FREE SHIPPING AMAZON!

Give me a break.......2004-03-11

I bought this player and I'm on my third one right this moment. This one has just a white screen and no picture at all. I can't believe they would dare sell this garbage. Try a diffent brand...I am.
