Pioneer DV-341 vs. DV-343

[lokiboy]

The BestBuys in our area are no longer stocking the DV-343. They now carry the DV-341, and claim it is a replacement for the DV-343. Does anyone know 1) if this is true 2) what features have been added/deleted from the 343 in the 341 and 3) is the 341 as good as the 343. I bought it primarily to play SVCDs.

Thanks

i bought an open box 343 and it had a decoder problem, but i just swapped it for the floor display. i didn't notice any significant differences, (though most of the testing was on the 343 since i didn't wanna cough up the extra $50, the only difference i could tell is that the new one's got an uglier cyan display instead of the previous amber) everything since the 525 has been basically the same, give or take firmware updates, so i'd expect it to be basically the same as the 525/333/343 line.
