Query: Avoid this product!

I bought a Pioneer 525 because it was one of the only players to play cdr's at the time. This model I was told replaced the 525. Anyway, my dv525 stopped working in less that 1 year. It would play sometimes, and then at other times just quit! Would refuse to play any type, dvd, audio cd, video CD, whatever. It would even stop in the middle of playback.I bought the panasonic RV31 and it's GREAT! Avoid pioneer!
