Panasonic DVD-RV31K DVD Player, Black
I really don't understand the criticism of this item.
Having read many of the reviews on this item, I decided to buy it because the positive reviews seemed to indicate that those who liked it were likely to have read up on and reasearched the item, while thsoe who wrote negative reviews apparently didn't read the manual, or would have been dissatisfied with anything which didn't measure up to a preconceived notion. For example, one reviewer said that the player didn't remember where it was when the stop button was pushed. I didn't find that to be so. However, if one pushes the play button too quickly, it will go to the scenes. READ the MANUAL! Pause, and it will go to where the movie left off. Also, I read where the loading or opening was too slow. I have a Pioneer DVD-player with which I am quite satisfied, and it is comparable to that one.<br />I haven't had it long enough to go five stars, but I will in six months if the current performance continues.
