Panasonic DVD-A120 DVD Player
Be a little wary of Panasonic DVD players
I received a Panasonic 105U model for Christmas last year.  The picture is quite good and the audio fine.  The unit began freezing and skipping till it would eventually only play about 20 minutes of a film before locking.   It took Panasonic about two months of phone calls before they finally  repaired this for me.  (I received e-mails from other people from a review  site who had the same trouble).  It works now (since July) with one  exception.  It does not play certain DVDs, such as Criterion's &quot;High  and Low.&quot;  It's not about bad discs. Something about how the disc is  being mastered being incompatible with the decoder Panasonic uses on some  models.  I read another review recently where someone else specifically  mentioned this disc.  Criterion told him it would not play on that model.   Again, I'm happy with the picture.  When it works, it's very good. But it  caused me a lot of trouble.
