Pioneer DV-F727301 Disc DVD / CD / CD-R/ and RW Player Specifications

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

[if I own three of these. They are very fragile and must not be moved with DVDs inside. The manual states this, but I learned what can happen when this occurs. I had to have one repaired while under warranty, but now I can't find a repair technician within 200 miles of me and had to learn how to take them apart and fix them myself. I have fixed two of them when they stopped loading disks because they both got "jossled" while they were powered on with disks inside. It is very important that you make sure this doesn't happen. Of course, with kids around, it can happen in spite of being careful, as in my case. Also DO NOT play DVDR's or DVDRWs. You can get the device to play most -Rs, but this appears to mess with the device and it stops playing correctly. Pixels will often be distorted on the screen after playing DVDRs regarless of what type disk you are playing. I also learned this from experience. I'm going to have to take one out of service for this reason. Pioneer does not state they will play these and I'm sure that is why. Sound quality isn't as great as I would like, but I can live with it. In spite of all of this, I still love my Pioneer 301s. ]

without the ability to play MP3 discs, it is all but useless – Joe – Ocean, NJ
Title says it all. With so many folks either recording their own play lists and downloading their music, any player without the capability to play them is obsolete.
