1998 Pioneer DVD Player spotted at Goodwill, is it worth my time?

[dr.ido]

I've had a couple of early Pioneer DVD players including a couple of their Laserdisc/DVD combo players and while they were somewhat interesting (at least to me) and well built they weren't viable for actual day to day use. They were simply too fussy on what they would and wouldn't play. They would generally read DVD+R, and most pressed DVDs, but would be tripped up by certain format variations and menu functions enough that gave up on them...
