Panasonic DVD-F87S 5-Disc Progressive Scan DVD Player
A primitive machine
It's a five-disc changer, and its main advantage is that I don't have to get up from the couch to change DVDs all the time.  On the other hand, I have to plan what 5 movies to watch next.  I have found the best usage to be to load the player with such as all three DVDs of the Lord of the Rings, or a multi-DVD series.   <br /> <br />The indexing system is poor.  At the push of a button, a display appears with 5 entries saying \\"Unread.\\"  After selecting each entry in turn, the DVDs are recognized by the system and the display changes to \\"DVD-1\\", \\"DVD-2\\", etc.  The player doesn't pick up the titles or any other identifiers from the discs, so it's up to you to remember what you have loaded and the order of the DVDs, 1 through 5.  That's a pain. <br /> <br />Another irritating maldesign is that you have to explicitly press a memory button in order to save your place in a movie.  Then when you turn the unit back on it can take you back to the last save point, but in doing so it clears the save point, so if you turn the unit off and on again without pressing the memory button again you have lost the save point. <br /> <br />Would I recommend this unit?  It depends.  In my case, I have a hard time bending down.  So now I have to bend low only a fifth as much as before.  Otherwise, I wouldn't look at this unit twice.  It's inexpensive, and rightfully so.
