Amazon.com Review:
The Pioneer DV-F727 is not the average, run-of-the-mill multidiscchanger. Even if your audio CD and DVD collections are quite sizeable, you canstash the goods neatly inside this 301-disc capacity 'media server,' then callselections up with the same ease and excitement as you would by keying an entryon a jukebox. An onscreen cataloging system helps manage your inventory, with anauto update feature that scans for new disc additions.
Should your collectionreally bulk out, it's even possible to double the system's capacity by linkingtwo DV-F727s. All the while, you'll still maintain easy control over the wholekit 'n caboodle via a single, fully-featured and user-friendly remote control(supplied), or using an optional, plug-in PS/2 style computer keyboard ormouse.
One of the most elaborately featured DVD players we've everencountered, the DV-F727 also takes care of the basics quite well--deliveringpristine pictures and sound with component-video (interlace), S-Video, andcomposite-video outputs. Sound-wise, its optical and coaxial digital-audiooutputs 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 converterand conventional analog jacks also proved quite fine.
Handy jog-shuttle dialson both the front panel and the remote make it a pleasure to manipulate themultispeed forward and reverse trick-play options.
Customizable settings letyou vary picture parameters to taste or adjust the audio dynamic range for latenight listening--so that soft sounds such as dialogue can be heard more clearlywithout making loud sounds even louder.
Given its immense disc storagecapacity, 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 atime, behind a motorized opening/closing Plexiglas 'hood.' Of course, there'salso the option to quickly install and then remove a single disc--via thededicated 301st slot--with its operation complemented by special 'single loader'access and play keys.
Entering menu text and numerical data about stockpiledtitles is reasonably easy. Information can be added using the onscreen softkeyboard in tandem with the cursor control joystick on the remote, or with theselection dial on the front panel. To speed up the process, there's also theoption of plugging in and entering text on a conventional PS/2 computerkeyboard.
Making life easier still, some music CDs now contain andautomatically stream their own album and song title info (CD Text), which thischanger will conveniently read, display, and automatically integrate into itsprogram menu memory. If implemented, DVD text information is also downloadable.(A front-panel display lights up to indicate the presence of such text on adisc.)
A couple of bummers: you must abbreviate text entries when a title orartist's name exceeds 12 characters, the max this changer's memory will storeand display. CD Text titles longer than 12 characters, while not memorized, willscroll across the LCD screen. Also take note: when a disc is playing, you can'tenter data, or add or remove other discs.
Once program data is entered intothe megachanger's memory, titles can be sorted and accessed by format (DVD orCD), disc title (alphabetically), or disc number.
Another option: you cancreate and name 20 custom files (10 DVD/Video CD and 10 CD) for automaticplayback. However, there's still no avoiding the mandatory setup menus andunskippable FBI Warning before DVD play commences.
All in all, the DV-F727represents a remarkable piece of engineering and entertainment prowess from thefolks at Pioneer.

- Easy entry of data via remote control, keyboard, or mouse

- A host of customizable programming and performance parameters

Rating: - DV-F727 is a good machine
I've owned this machine for about a year now and have had no problems with it. You'll read a lot of comments about the limited title entry space, which is true, but I keep may DVD library information on my computer so this is only a slight inconvenience to me.
I've read one review where the author ruled this unit out because it would not play DVD-Rs he recorded. Pioneer doesn't list this in its specifications, but the unit does play DVD-Rs and even dual layer DVD+Rs. I've got over 200 ... Read More
Rating:  - Pioneer DV-F727 301-disk player well worth it.
I've owned the Pioneer DV-F727 for at least 6 years and have been VERY pleased. I still remember the first Universal movie we fired up. It had the new (well, new then) logo rotating into view around the Earth. With a component video hookup it looked so good it almost passed for 3-D. It still looks as good today.
Frankly, I'm surprised to see this model still for sale considering how quickly most electronics come and go. I suppose that says something about it, too. To be balanced, there ... Read More
Rating: - Pioneer DV-F727 - second one
We've had one of these units for several years to hold our CD/DVD collection.We just added a second slave unit to increase the capacity from 301 to 601.The two units work flawlessly as one with decent performance.
Rating: - Good product, some issues
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 ...

Rating: - Pioneer DV-F727 301-Disc DVD Changer
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 ...
