Panasonic DVD-S47S Progressive Scan DVD Player
One of the most feature filled and durable products
I have three different panasonic DVD players, most of them several years old, and all of them subject to abuse by three kids who have stuck dvd's into the players that are covered with crud.<br />I have never had one single error like the person below claims. The same person seems to have reviewed almost every panasonic player with the same claims. the diction and wording of the cliams is identical. they are trying to make their problem seem like a common problem, which it is not.<br />As far as made in china being perjorative, that is laughable. Every dvd player is made in china, japan or korea and almost every one, including &quot;japanese made&quot; like sony have their DVD readers and motor components made in china.<br />I had a sony protable DVD player which had a motor failed after six months. They would not repair it and sent me a &quot;refurbished&quot; with many screen pixels dead, a cover that didn't close right and a left speaker with a hiss. That was $300.<br />Whenever you see a particullarly strident condemnation of a product on Amazon reviews , check the company's other products and see if you see the same exact language and similar date. I mean did this person actually own the 12 panasonic dvd players and home theaters he reviewed and claimed failed him? I doubt it. <br />If yo go to videohelp dot com, which reviews all the players, you will see the panasonic has outstanding reviews in dvd format compatability, audio, all the needed outputs AND robustness.
