So basically, the device for its price OK But I bought it brand new in February 2004. Now it has given up the ghost and that the transformer was damaged and I had a new hand. But lo and behold, there is no transformer. Neither repairers still the central warehouse of Pioneer have it and there is also lt. Pioneer not a substitute model. That means I can throw away the device after 3 years. My complaint with Pioneer was not answered. So, dear buyer, hoping only that you need a replacement transformer.
