Product Description

Portable DVD takes on a new meaning with this sleek and light player - thanks to the new ultra thin lithium battery and streamlined player design. With a 7.0-inch wide LCD display, built-in speaker and 3 hours of playback time, the PDV-LC20 offers fantastic DVD on the road or at home... anywhere you might be. The PDV-LC20 features Pioneer's Exclusive Viter-Bi RF Decoding process for improved DVD error correcting capability, Accurate Digital Servo for precise data reading and Automatic Gain Level Adjustment that minimizes jitter of individual disks.

Amazon.com Product Description

Thin and lightweight (under 2 pounds), the PDV-LC20 lets you watch DVD movies on the move with superb reproduction that includes a high-end audio DAC (digital-to-analog converter) for crystalline audio, Dolby Digital, and DTS surround processing. It also has a twin-wave (CD-R/RW) pickup and 7-inch active-matrix LCD screen.

Video features
The PDV-LC20's active-matrix TFT (thin film matrix) screen delivers bright, highly detailed pictures with remarkable color resolution, purity, and detail. Anti-glare and anti-reflection coatings further ensure that the screen is viewable over a wide viewing angle.

A trio of Pioneer technologies work to maximize disc-read accuracy and error-correction capabilities: Viter-Bi RF Decoding, Accurate Digital Servo, and Automatic Gain Level Adjustment.

The player offers three picture modes (Cinema, Animation, Standard), DVD resume playback (after stop), bit rate display, and selectable background colors.

Audio features
For fully immersive sound at home, the player outputs both DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround formats via a digital-audio bit stream (which is capable of passing a 96 kHz, 24-bit PCM signal when permitted by the disc author). Onboard stereo speakers provide convenient listening without headphones or home theater hookup.

A twin-wave laser pickup reads both standard and recordable CDs, though the pickup may not play some CD-Rs, depending on the condition of the discs and pickup.

Connections
Twin headphone jacks mean convenient listening for you and a travel partner, while an optical digital-audio output facilitates home theater hookup with a DTS/Dolby Digital surround receiver. A stereo analog audio output is also available using an included interconnect.

This cable also lets you hook the player up to a television using either composite-video or S-video transmission.

Other features
Format compatibility extends to DVD-Video, DVD-RW, video CD, audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW. Condition Memory recalls setup conditions such as language, subtitle, aspect ratio, and playback mode for 15 discs; Last Memory recalls the last scene played and the setup conditions for five DVDs; auto power off conserves battery life; and a 32-key credit-card-style remote control grants hands-free operation.

The player includes a three-hour lithium battery, whose charge time is a mere 2.5 hours using a Quick Charge command. A trilingual onscreen display lets you configure the player in English, Spanish, and French. The warranty covers parts and labor for one year.

Beautifully made, and Upgradeable!.......2004-09-26

Pioneer PDV-LC20 is a very well-made machine. It can play both factory-stamped and recordable DVD's. Same for audio compact disks. Extensive research has revealed that it can also be upgraded (for a reasonable fee by reputable non-factory service centers) to be multi-region and VCR Friendly. This is great for people who obtain DVD's from all regions of the world and need to connect the PDV-LC20 through the VCR because there is only one A/V input set (or only an RF connection) on the TV/monitor. The PDV-LC20 has a great picture, great lithium-ion battery pack, and two headphone jacks (great for sharing with a companion during airline flights). The overall quality, workmanship, and upgradeability make the PDV-LC20 a great value.

Gizzmo Knut.......2003-12-28

This is an excellent DVD Player for the money. The sound quality is a little above average but with a decent pair of noise canceling headphones this is an excellent companion on long flights or for the kids on long road trips. I should have purchased the extra battery thought for flights over 4 hours.

Excelent product.......2002-08-14

Great to keep children quiet during a car trip.

The best portable DVD player on the market.......2001-12-27

This is the best portable DVD currently. Forget the Panasonic, forget Sharp and even forget Sony. The Pioneer LC20 is the best around. The 7" LCD screen is crisp and sharp and more than good enough for the road. Having read a lot of reviews which gave the Panasonic machine superiority on the display, I can say that there in NO DIFFERENCE between the two. Frankly, you are not going to get HDTV quality viewing on the road anyway, are you? The second misconception is the battery life, Pioneer offers a 6.5 hour option over the Panasonic's 5 hours.
The DVD player itself if exceptional, Pioneer is renowned for making quality DVD players and this shows on the portable. Excellent for hooking up to TV's in hotel rooms.
The credit card remote control is user friendly and more portable than the Panasonic's.
Also the Pioneer beats the outdated Sony, I am a Sony fan but Sony needs to come out with a new model, if it is to get one over Pioneer.
Forget what the reviews say and save yourself some hassle.
You wont go wrong with Pioneer

Denon DVM 1805.......2003-12-07

Purchased this to be both a CD changer and a DVD Player. The sound is good and the video is great. Unfortunately, the system has no sequential play mode between disks even though it holds five. If you put five CD's in for instance, you can only play one CD then it stops. To play the next CD you have to physically tell the player to switch to the next CD and start it. The same problem occurs with DVD's so for instance if you have a 2-CD Lord of the Rings, it will not sequentially play the second DVD. This is a bummer as I've come to expect better from Denon.

Amazon.com Product Description

If you're creating multimedia applications, interactive training materials, a dynamic demonstration, or action game, there's only one practical way to publish and distribute them to others--on CD. Make your presentations come alive with the coolest sounds and hottest graphics, then put them in a format that almost anyone can use. Unlike tape, CD-R or CD-RW backups provide random-access retrieval for fast restoration of data to your hard drive. Backing up to a CD is fast and easy--just select the files or directories you want to back up, then click a single button. Since all file attributes (read-only, archive, hidden, and system) are maintained, file restoration is simple and easy. Or you can create your own "greatest hits" albums from cassettes, records, and CDs. Just compile all your favorite tracks to listen to in your car or at home.

Excellent Burner.......2000-02-15

I've burnt about 15 Audio CDS and 5 Data cds and they all have been flawless! The Nero burning software is easy to use and works great and the Auto-Decoding of Mp3's is saves a lot of time. The best value around!

Easy to install and use!.......2000-01-29

This is an excellent product for the price! I don't know why other vendors are not challenged more by this great product. I installed and burned my first CD in less than 2 hours. This product is worth double the price.

Great, but for the jitters.......2000-01-17

I made a data CD first, no problem. But when I tried to make an audio CD, it came out extremely staticky. I think I figured out a workaround (when saving tracks to the hard drive, enable the "jitter correction" box...and then write the cd at 1X) But the help files are written in poor english, are contradictory, and confusing. But aside from all that, it's worked great.

What a great deal!.......2000-01-06

I bought this CDRW for christmass and have made more than a dozen audio CDs. All work fine.

The software it came with is the best. I downloaded the update from their website and can now burn MP3s directly into an audio CD.

Just what I wanted for christmass

It worked!.......1999-12-25

I must say, when I bought this CD Burner, I never really thought I could make my own CD's. Well, I did! The first time worked wonderfully and I have yet to have a problem! I swapped this CD ROM out for my original and it works the same so if you are looking for an "all in one" cd rom, this is it!

Customer Reviews:

Great unit until it broke........2001-08-18

I bought this GPX unit looking for a ..., digital radio to use while jogging. The good news is that the radio worked well, the unit stays on your head well while jogging, and even though build construction wasn't great I was happy given the low price.

After three months the AM radio stopped working. I still use it on FM stations, but I wish I had spent a few extra dollars and bought the Koss headphone radio. I had a Koss model that lasted for 5+ years through all sorts of abuse.

Needs to be sturdier.......2001-05-06

For the first few weeks this headset was fine for morning workouts. Good sound, comfortable fit, relatively easy to use. I've had it about six months and the flaws in the design are becoming evident and annoying. The little metal parts like the screws have corroded, the set gets stuck on a single channel -- not the one I want -- and it's impossible to change, it goes through batteries way too quickly, and sometimes it just doesn't work. The channel settings are lost when you change batteries, so I stopped using that feature after the second battery swap-out. The low-battery indicator light always seems to be on no matter how fresh the batteries are. As new as my unit is, I feel like it's on its last legs. This said, if the company came out with a much better version of the same product I would buy it because the basic concept is strong.
