Panasonic DVD-RV32S DVD Player, Silver
Hard to say how this compares to other DVD players in it's class...
This DVD player has many great features that make it stand out above others- Unfortunately, I have had the same experience that most people have had with this DVD player, the infamous \\"H07\\" error code- It ran fine for about a year, and then displayed the error.  After doing some research however, I determined the code was related to a faulty spindle motor.  I desoldered the motor and tested it, and it seemed to be working fine- I ended up disassembling the spindle motor and cleaning the brushes to get it to work, and although it was not the most pleasant experience, it's worked fine ever since. <br /> <br />I've read from numerous repair shops that this problem (cheap spindle motors) is fairly common in all DVD players in this price range. I imagine most DVD players use the same common motors as well as other internal parts. I suspect the biggest flaw in the Panasonic model(s) are their uncanny ability to detect the smallest problem-problems that truly aren't fatal... (the motor was still working, it just had dirty brushes).  It's built-in diagnostics are just too sensitive.  <br /> <br />It's just unfortunate that Panasonic won't address the problem- it's pretty apparent that this sensitivity is affecting a large portion of consumers.
