I recently bought the 2000 and it does everything I could want. My system is made up of various components, a Pioneer television, Panasonic S-VHS recorder, JVC VHS recorder, Sony HI-8 mm recorder, Sony Carosel CD player, Sony MD recorcder, Pioneer ld/dvd player, and a Pioneer receiver. Everything works perfect, my only wish is that you could edit the text on the lcd buttons.
