I've been considering the Pioneer DV-333, since it seems to be known as a low-cost, quality player that supports Video CDs and CD-Rs. However, aside from all that, people seem to have complaints about the noise the drive makes while they watch DVDS. So I was wandering if anyone had any info on the DV-343 and whether or not the drive noise is corrected in this model? I can't find this model available for purchase anywhere, but I'm assuming that since its on Pioneer's website, it will be avaible sometime in the near future.

I'm interested in the DV-343 as well. I checked out Audioreview.com, and I only found 1 (incorrect) reference to the 343 in a review for the 333. Does anybody have any useful information about this machine? What, if any, are the differencs between it and the 333?
