Panasonic DVD-A120 DVD Player
Not a flashy performer - decent player
This was my first DVD player (received as a gift in Dec '99) and is still working ok.  I have never received any error messages when playing scratched DVD's (mostly rentals) - but it does show some pixellation when it encounters this - or skips to the next chapter, which can be aggrevating...Never had a problem with new DVD's.  I was disappointed that I could not play CD-R, CD-RW, etc a year after I got it, but at the time, I was just elated to get a DVD player!  The optical audio output has been nice (to my Harman/Kardan AVR85).  The remote is pretty easy and comfortable. I have since purchased the Sony 725 (for it's flexibility - I am making more and more home movies of the kids and I want to watch my DVD creation on the big tv. <br />All in all, in has been a faithful performer that has run its course - or is a good player to have in the kids room, bedroom, etc..
