Panasonic DVD-RV31K DVD Player, Black
I liked it at first...
But I would prefer if it were a little sturdier. It just feels so light and flimsly. Like it could break at any moment. Especially the DVD drawer. Be careful with it.<br />I find this model particulary cool because it can play CDRs, which is something a lot of them cannot do. But recently I have found a few problems with playback. This may be due to age (a year now) and wear and tear but sometimes it will freeze, skip and refuse to eject. I don't know if it is a common fault but I had to send it off to Panasonic the first time.<br />Now I have discovered that a good thump on the top will pop the drawer open and reset the machine. My machine is also non region-encoded so I can play movies from anywhere in the world. I can only assume that this one is too considering it is the same model.<br />I have it connected to a widescreen TV and Sherwood 5.1 decoder with beautiful Eltax speakers around my living room. The player is a vital component in that great package. And with a lesser model the DTS/Dolby sound and the picture would not be as cool.<br />I just wish I could have more trust in it.
