Panasonic DVD-RP62 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Good and Bad
The unit played DVDs just fine, the problem came with the mp3s.  I have many different CDs filed with mp3s, all of which play perfectly in my Dell computer.  When I would put the disks in the RP62, it would divide up most of the tracks into 3 or 4 parts, but not all the tracks were effected, some it would leave alone as one complete track.  A 4 minute song might be left as 1 track or it could be divided up into 4 parts and it would transition from part 1 to part 2 like most CDs move from one song to the next.  All tracks are at least 128kpbs and 44khz (this unit will not play any mp3 with a sample rate under 32khz).  I had the unit for 10 days waiting for a Panasonic tech to call me back.  I had called their customer service more than once and nobody there had heard of this problem before so they wanted someone with more knowledge to call me.  Panasonic never called me back and they didn't answer my emails to their tech support either.  I called a salesman at the local Circuit City to get a more educated opinion than mine and all he was sure of was that something had to be wrong with the unit.  I returned the unit.  I'm not upset that it didn't work as advertised, I'm more surprised at the indifference from the people at Panasonic.  For one last test I encoded into mp3 an old radio broadcast.  It was three parts, each track about 30 minutes long (@128kpbs/44khz).  The RP62 displayed track 1 as one track, track 2 was divided up into 23 parts, and track 3 was one track.  Each track was ripped and burned exactly the same way ... go figure.
