Panasonic DVD-RV30 DVD Player
Very good deal for the price
I bought this model based on the other reviews here, and I haven't been disappointed at all.  I don't own a high-level home theater, so this basic model is perfect for me.<br />I like the audio functions, specifically the ability to balance the dialogue levels against the music/SFX levels on applicable DVDs, which I haven't seen in some other models of this range.  Overall the audio is wonderful, even hooked up to my old receiver and speakers.  <br />My quibbles with it are mostly in the remote layout.  Basic funtions like screen aspect ratio are relegated to a generic &quot;Actions&quot; button, which brings up a menu of several functions to sort through.  I have seen other models in this price range that have better-thought-out remotes.  (As for the lack of backlit keys, that isn't as big a priority with me.  Through repitition, I tend to learn how to find the important keys without looking...)<br />Overall, this is a very good buy.  Good price, lightweight, compact, easy to hook up and use right away.
