Thanks in advance
Your request is such an open ended question, it will be ignored by most.
Post the specs on the Pioneer,
How old is it, was this bottom , middle or upper end in the Pioneer line at that time. Do the homework.
If your father wants to stick with a Pioneer, there are models that will do the trick for you. In that price range, the 91TXH, 01TXH, 1018TXH come to mind, you can get deals that fall in that range.
If your dad is not picky, either of these are fine units. Depends on what his priorities are. If they are simple, these units are fine....
If you want to go to other brands, there are perfectly fine comparable units.
