Panasonic DVD-S35K Ultra Slim Progressive Scan DVD
Hmmm - not up to spec
I have owned over $100,000 of Panasonic manufactured devices, professional video and audio equipment, phones, bread machines, VCRs, and DVD players. All of the equipment that I have owned from Panasonic has been great with the exception of their DVD players.<BR>  The first Panasonic DVD player I owned was the DVD-RP62 - Easy to setup, Awesome picture and sound, but the player skipped scenes, played intermittently, and finally, died after 10 months of light use. Yesterday I purchased the DVD-S35 - brought it home, set it up, and put in a DVD. The sound of the DVD was immediately apparent, it sounded like one of those wind up rubber band airplanes. An error popped up on the display indicating that I had put put in the wrong disk. I ejected the disk and checked it and replaced it. This time, it skipped the first two scenes of the movie, and started at the third scene where it immediately froze, stuttered, and jumped to the next scene.<BR>  Panasonic has been a great company for every product I have ever owned. But I will never buy a Panasonic DVD player again.
