Panasonic DVD-RP56 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Don't Buy This DVD
I bought this DVD after much research, thinking that this would ensure that I would not get a lemon. I read other reviews including a few that warned me away, but I couldn't imagine that a DVD player could be as terrible as the reviewers said. After all, this is perfected technology-what could go wrong? I'll tell you what could go wrong-everything! This DVD player is really a piece of junk. One DVD will play fine - except for a few skips here and there. The next DVD will play fine until about the middle, then the image will start jumping and jerking and the voice track will get off.  Stopping and starting the DVD sometimes helps, but for the most part, it can't be fixed, so I just have to abandon watching the movie. The problem with a DVD that is unreliable is that you just never know if you'll be able to watch an entire movie. I haven't bothered to call Panasonic since I really believe the other reviewers now who said that Panasonics customer service is useless - and the return warranty ran out before the DVD started misbehaving.  I plan to give this piece of junk to the Salvation Army and try again - and the next time I will believe the reviews. If someone says the DVD is a piece of junk, it probably is just that - junk!
