Panasonic DVD-RV31K DVD Player, Black
Reminds me of a quarter horse race
Great performance but only for a short time.  Don't get me wrong, I loved this dvd player (when it worked).  It had great features, crisp picture, and good control over the search and pause features.  Yeah, there were some downsides to it that have already been mentioned through other reviews.  For example, when listening to music or other media, it only shows things like \\"directory\\", \\"root file\\", and folder numbers.  Makes it hard to browse...but I found this to be of little inconvenience.  The main problem was that it broke within a year.  Now I'm not unrealistic.  I know that electronics wear out, but I also know that most last much longer that this.  I'm not expecting it to last as long as my VCR, a JCPenny's brand we got during the 80's...but one year?  What a rip-off.  Just as others posters mentioned, I got the infamous \\"H02 Error\\" message and then nothing.  Didn't even bother calling the company since the warranty was only 90 days.  I already knew what I was going to be told.  My advice...keep looking.  With this many similar reviews, there must be a design flaw with this model somewhere and it's not gonna get fixed by a company whose only concern is the bottom line.  Do some research 'cause when it comes to pricey electronics, you wanna hold out for a thoroughbred.
