Panasonic DVD-RV30 DVD Player
Great Player, Great Price!
I have owned this player for about a month now. I am very, very satisfied with it. It has played every DVD without problem. The sound and picture are great.<br />It doesn't play CD-R's but I didn't plan to use this as a CD player and I don't have many CD-R's to begin with. Also, it does not have the built in dolby digital processor for true surround sound. I am not an audiophile and if you are not either, you will probably not notice the difference. The Panasonic does feature a simulated surround sound which is good enough for me and well worth the savings I would have otherwise spent on a DVD with the processor. <br />I also considered the Sony 360 and the Pioneer 333, and they also seem like great players. I don't know what advantages they give, but I so far have found no short comings on my Panasonic. I also did a considerable amount of shopping around and could not find prices better than Amazon. And you can never beat their service.<br />If you have VHS now, you can't go wrong with a DVD. Buy this Panasonic DVD player and you will ask yourself why you held onto your VCR for so long.
