Summary:
The Pioneer MJ-D707 is flawed by design. The unit performed well almost until the 12 month warranty expired. It initially displayed a 'S10 ERROR' and locked up the unit which required switching on and off. This was an intermittent error and there was no reason to suspect the media. After arguing with Pioneer over the usability of the product, it finally died with a 'EEPROM ERROR' as soon as the unit is now switched on. Pioneer services centre in Bristol refuse to admit it's a design fault in the firware. I have a dead piece of equipment after only a year's use. Be warned!!

faulty by design
