ブリッジ: 北米輸入盤を観るために購入しました。サイズもコンパクトで使い勝手も良いです。説明書は英語表記と中国語表記のものでしたが、なんとか使えてます。良い買い物でした。

ここ: 寝室用に購入しました。サイズも大変コンパクトで置き場所を選びません。
以前に海外メーカーのものも使ったことがありますが、数か月で壊れて使い物にならなくなりました。
買ってから数か月経過しましたが、今のとことろ故障はなく順調です。
さすが国内を代表するメーカー・パナソニックの商品です。
気になるところは、リモコンのボタンが非常に小さく特によく使う早送り巻き戻しのボタンが押しにくいことです。
並行輸入品ですので、画面表記は英語ですが、特に問題はありません。
海外のDVDがそのまま再生できますので大変便利です。

Muffinator: I have started buying and watching a lot of DVDs, as I am in the process of getting away from cable TV and therefore wanted a second DVD player, just in case the one I had died. I am now watching DVDs about 6 hours a day. The one I had at the time was a Panasonic, which I had had for about 7 years and knew it was getting old, so I bought a cheap LG as a backup, as I have an LG TV, which works great and wanted two different brands of DVD players (I didn't want both DVD players to turn on when I only wanted one turned on).

I no sooner got the LG DVD player hooked up and about a week later, my old Panasonic started freezing up to a point, I had to unplug it and plug it back in about every 2 hours, so I started looking for another DVD player to replace the Panasonic and bought a Sony, as I have a Sony hooked up to another TV and thought it worked good and with no problems. I got the Sony and hooked it up. As soon as I hooked it up, the LG started making a loud popping noise about every 5 minutes. I thought it was the DVDs, so I tried the DVDs on the Sony and they played fine. I went online, read some reviews on the LG and saw that two other people had...

Richard A. Oravetz: I bought this player to replace a failing cd player on my stereo system. After I hooked it up I found that my MP3 audio dics would not play on this player. These discs, cd-r and dvd mp3 dics, had played quite well on older players that I had owned in the past, but not on this new player (...... for the record, cda audio format played quite well and I was impressed). I contacted Panasonic support and the tech informed me that PC created mp3 discs likely will not play on this player because the code has been modified. The outside of the box for this player says that MP3 format is supported, but I found this to be a half truth. I sure wish that I had known that before I made the purchase. I went out and bought a low cost Sony player and it played a sampling of my PC created mp3 discs with no problem. I nonetheless will keep this moderately priced Panasonic player as a spare video player instead of going through the hassle of returning it. I am sure that it will play video quite well.

Stacy: I'm very happy with this purchase. I rebelled against buying a dvd player for a couple years, which left me fiddling with hdmi cords that didn't always work properly with my laptop, so I finally caved in. All I wanted was a basic dvd player that worked, even if I could find it on craigslist. No such luck on craigslist because after doing ample research on amazon, this one was still cheaper than all the dvd players I saw on CL (and was guaranteed to work out of the box). I bought it back in Nov 2015, so I've got a solid 2 months worth of use since it's purchase, and there have been no problems whatsoever. I'm really confused about a review I read stating that this dvd player has bad memory and can't pick up where you left off if you turn it off?? Not true. I have put discs that were played weeks ago into the player and it picks up where I last left off. Another feature I really like is that if it sits idle for too long (haven't timed it to know specifically how long, but definitely enough time), it will turn off automatically. Sometimes I'll pause a movie and go change laundry or make dinner and I'll forget I had it on. Being an eco-conscious individual (though...

PK: Simple, straight forward & not a lot of extra buttons, programming, remote function issues .. for the price, it is a good product and good value for what it is advertised as. We just wanted something to watch the occasional DVD or listen to a music CD without the hassles of programming, hookup or extra messing around. This is all that. Just plug in, pop in the DVD/CD and hit play .. viola. Happy with this purchase.

riverguy: Wonderful! We wanted a simple unit that would play CDs. We looked at dozens of very sad reviews and finally settled on a Samsung unit because its reviews were not as bad as most of them. Sad state of affairs to be left with that option, but that seems to be the new normal. Well, it arrived, long story short, it was junk, quit in three days and we returned it. We found this Panasonic quite be accident. It had good reviews and it's perfect for us. Very simple controls, solid performance, and unlike most of the ones on which I read reviews for, this one is absolutely silent. You can barely hear the disc start to spin up and once going, it is silent. It loads quickly and if I could give it six stars, I would. Way to go, Panasonic!
