Panasonic DVD-RV31K DVD Player, Black
Panasonic RV31k went belly-up replaced w/t  Apex AD 2100
-<BR>My Panasonic RV31k went belly-up after 8 months.<BR>I bought the Apex AD-2100... and it is FAR superior to the Panasonic. It just hit the market and has twice the features of the older RV31k. It plays all my DVDs, MP3 disks, VCDs, flawlessly and it handles HDCDs, and the new WMA, Windows Media Audio format. Thats 22 hours of music on a CD-R. The  JPEG fuction is super cool. Just fill a CD-R with JPEGs, set the player on shuffle mode and enjoy the show!<BR>Oh... I do have one negative. the remote feels & looks cheap. However it does work well and even has a one button switch between Wide and Full-Screen which works on the fly. Also the Player itself looks expensive. The silver case and front panel is sleek and polished. You don't see it in the photos but even the display is hidden behind a mirrored glass panel so the front presents a smooth unbroken silver surface until the unit is powered up and playing a DVD.<br />...Peace.
