Ok i returned my apex 500w today.. had probs with it so i am looking on getting the 440 at best buy.. Its the newest pioneer they carry. they had the 341 but its a little bulky... Other than waht i read about supporting only 8 text characters for cd names, ist ehre any other downsides to this player or is it very versatile to all vdr's, cdrw's, and does it have good playback or is there grainyness. Please let me know. i want to hear from anyone wiht this player. ALso does it support both Pal and ntsc discs???
