Bulletproof DVD Burner.......2006-01-20

Do you want bulletproof DVD recordings EVERY time? Are you tired of your finicky, $90 clock-radio-corder that routinely generates a trashcan full of failed DVDs on a monthly basis? Do you cling to the false hope that your cheap-corder company will issue a firmware upgrade to cure your woes? Isn't your time more valuable than that? Spend an extra $50 and go with Pioneer. I've owned several Pioneer products including the classic DV-525 DVD player that's now six years old. My 220S has the same brilliant DVD playback quality that I've come to admire with my older Pioneer DVD player. Many people are disappointed when they buy the cheap DVD recorders because those units have only mediocre playback picture quality, too few inputs (for recording from multiple sources), and flakey DVD recordings. Pioneer builds their recorders right the FIRST time and you won't be working out their bugs and wondering if your next recording will fail. I chose the 220S after I found it to be one of the highest user-rated recorders in many forums including videohelp.com. Multiple video inputs/outputs on 220S put other recorders to shame. Take the cover off this unit and you'll see the beefy power supply board and quiet fan that means this one's built to last. No cheapy clock radio power supplies like in the sub-$100 recorders. When I hit "record" on the 220S I always get a perfect burn, no questions asked. Just read the owner's manual, feed it a decent blank disc, and be done!

PROS:
100% reliable burns, 3 s-video/composite inputs, 2 s-video/composite outputs, high-grade Pioneer Pure Cinema DVD playback quality, impeccable recording quality, super quiet and cool running, amazing variety of controls for adjusting picture quality on all inputs, user-selectable remote control frequencies to eliminate conflicts with your other remote controlled equipment.

CONS:
No iLINK DV input but it makes up for this with a dedicated s-video/composite input for your camcorder on the front panel.

I still feel like an early adopter.......2005-04-20

I finally bit the bullet and bought a DVD recorder. Everyone is a DVD recorder expert and with competing formats, +R and -R, everyone has an opinion. My opinion is that if it's -R, it works on every DVD player in the house and the new portable in the car (the old audiovox portable barely played regular DVD so it naturally choked on DVD-R (which is the pioneer uses to burn.) So the first task has been to copy our ancient VCR collection to DVD. Easy enough, but certain titles (Sixteen Candles and Field of Dreams for example) are copy protected and unable to burn. As far as good news, it's got several rca (red/white/yellow) inputs, so I have my Directv DVR in one and my old panasonic VCR in the other. Copying from DVR is a breeze as well. Complaints are it took me a while to figure out how to wire it up and the remote seems overly complicated.

Very Good but..........2005-04-06

This review is actually of the DVR-225s, which I believe is identical to the 220. I recently purchased the new Panasonic DMR-ES10S & returned it because of the flimsy jack panel. I replaced it with the Pioneer DVR-225s.

Every dvd I've seen made on a standalone player has had problems with motion jitter (motion occasionally slowing down & speeding up). I've never run into this with pc authored dvd's; to this day I don't know what causes it on set top players. I was told that Panasonic & Pioneer have less problems with this issue then any other brand. That's 1 of the 2 criticisms I have of this machine; it does have the motion issue. I have ordered a Sima stabilizer from Amazon; I'm curious to see if that helps when it arrives.

The other issue I've experienced with the 225s is that it isn't real happy with cheap media (Specifically ESA/CMC). Media that plays back fine after burning on my PC tends to occasionally freeze during play back on my Philips 727 when burned on the Pioneer. It seems fine with Taiyo Yuden though.

Now for the good - really excellent picture other then the motion jitter. Easy to use; much easier then the Panasonic DMR-ES10S. Also feels more solidly built. I paid $195, I'm reasonably happy although I'd love to find a standalone without motion problems. I might have been happier with a capture card, but that seems like a lot of work!

Added 1/06: I've now owned this unit for 9 months. It's extremely reliable. The motion issue turned out to be a problem with my otherwise excellent Phillips 727 playback machine, not this unit. My only criticism at this time is that both of my inexpensive Pioneer units tend to have some problems with dark blacks & dark black & white scenes in general being a bit grainy.

Pioneer AVIC-S1.......2007-08-18

I am trying to find out how to upgrade the map system. I did not receive a manual with the GPS when I bought it over a year ago. Now it is telling me to upgrade map system since it is over a year old and to refer to the manual to find out how . At the moment it will not even let me enter my home address. Can you HELP?????? Jacqui

Pionner GPS.......2007-05-21

Nice GPS..Very Easy to use; however there are some features that i have not been able to figure out how to use such as phone directory..
It's a pretty fair product for the price paid..

A do not buy item.......2007-05-17

I'll keep it short. The navigation on my nextel phone is more accurate and easier to find address.Also it crashed lost of times requiring a reboot.

For $209, I'm satisfied.......2007-05-12

This is my first GPS and so far, I'm satisfied.

Found it easy to use right out of the box. There is a SFW download to update the unit and I did that right away. I live in the sticks and have had no problem when traveling to Richmond, VA it knew when to turn, etc and rerouted when I went detoured in another direction.

There very well may be some flaws in the big metro areas however I purchased it for $209 and with that price I don't expect it to be as good as a $700 unit.

AVIC-S1.......2007-03-28

Negatives:
- Very poor routing software. Takes you off the freeway onto local roads when the freeway would be much, much faster. Doesn't matter whether you have 'fastest route' or 'shortest route' selected.
- No turn list. I'd like to be able to preview all of the turns on my route BEFORE I start navigating to that route.
- Postition updating is slow and, at least on my unit, inaccurate by tens of feet. I'll pass an intersection and the unit's display shows I haven't even gotten to it yet.

Positives:
- Price - I paid only $280 shipped
- Small size, good mounting to the windshield.
- Accurate maps

If I were to buy again, I'd try a different brand as the routing algorithm is a show-stopper for me. I'm comparing this to my built-in Nav system in my Lexus LS430 and the Lexus blows the doors off this unit in all areas. 'Course it's much more expensive.
