+ Will play just about anything. Very well put together.

- Menu takes a little getting used to, but with all the computations I didnt expect any different.

Score 8.0/10

+ I love Pioneer equipment, most of my AV equipment is Pioneer and this does not disapoint. Superbly Built. Superbly layed out and excellent user interface.

- You cannot watch one channel while recording another. The only options you have is to watch the program you are recording or watch a pre-recorded program. A real snag!
