Pioneer 343 vs Pioneer 341
Hey everyone -
I did a lot of research on DVD players and decided to buy the Pioneer 343 because of its excellent reputation for playing vcd/svcd/x(svcd) at great quality.
I go to Best Buy today and all they have is the 341 and they say the 343 is no longer made.
Does anyone know the differences between the 341 and the 343? Does the 341 have the same features or is it out performed by the 343?
I'd really appreciate any help I could get.
Thanks a lot!

The 341 not a replacement for the 343. The 440 is the new model replacing the 343. The 341 is a basic version of the 343 without the optical output. Other than that it's basically the same machine. My local BB only has the 440 and no more 341/343s in stock.
HOWEVER,
Do yourself a favor and buy the Pioneer DV-440. This is the replacement for the 343. The 440 is the same price as the 343 at BB. The 440 plays mp3 has Burr-Brown DACs, better features and adjustments, smoother scanning and sounds much better than the 343. The audio quality with the improved DACs is WELL worth it.
