Great Player
I have some DVD’s that look horrible on the big tv, this was at a great price and have a smaller tv I hooked this up to, it works perfect. Some of the titles aren’t available for streaming and it’s so nice to be able to watch them again with a great picture.

Great unit (if you take good care of electronics)
Make sure you get the model that has the HDMI out as well as RCA cable connection (S700). A couple of things:1. ONLY use the open/close button for the door–DO NOT push the door with your fingers. It’s not sturdy enough for that.2. ONLY remove a DVD by placing your finger in the DVD hole. The drawer does not have cutouts on the side for your fingers and you could break the mechanism.3. I have the RCA cables hooked to my receiver and the HDMI cord hooked to my TV. The RCA cables fit VERY tight–make sure they are pushed in snugly or you will have problems with sound/picture. If you’re having trouble with picture or sound, the first thing I would suggest is check to make sure the RCA Red/White/Yellow connections are pushed in all the way.4. I would highly recommend only adults use this DVD player–it’s not sturdy enough for kids or others that don’t take special care when using electronics.5. MAKE SURE you read in the manual how to get to the settings. Some will need changing. On mine, the factory setting for picture size was set to 4×3 (for old square TVs) rather than 16×9 (newer recantangular TVs)6. The remote is very compact/small with lots of close-together buttons. If you’re older, you’re probably going to have to hold it very close to choose what you want to do.7. I’ve thrown all kinds of media at it–store bought DVDs, home-burned DVD-R and DVD+R. No problems with any of them. I have not tried using it to play CDs so I can’t speak to that.8. It’s a nice, compact unit and light weight. I’d make sure it’s not sitting too close to the edge of where you put it–I don’t think it would survive any kind of fall.9. It came with an RCA cable (Red/White/Yellow) but NOT an HDMI cord so you’ll need to get a cheap one of those. The batteries are included for the remote.10. Picture quality on my TV is excellent. Sound through the receiver is excellent as well.

Works
The player itself works fine. I almost returned it because it was randomly pausing various DVDs – but then I realized that it was those particular DVDs from one set. The remote however, is almost worthless. The buttons don’t always respond and you have to press them over and over – very annoying when you want to pause in a certain spot. I don’t see why it’s so hard to make a remote that works. My Roku remote is a delight to use. You’d think they could have spent and extra $.29 cents to make it just to foster some good will. But that doesn’t seem to occur to a lot of manufacturers these days.

HDMI cable not included but easy set up, works well
Nice! Delivery in 17 hours, set up was as simple as plugging it in, and it serves its purpose well. Included in the package is one of those composite audio-visual cables with the red, yellow, and white single prong connectors, but an HDMI cable was not included – so I used a spare HDMI and it works just fine.

I would recommend it
Great little player, it did not require any “installing”, I found it to be a simple plug and play unit.I use it connected to a Denon AVR and use it for both DVD,s and CD,s

Choose Another Brand!
I have to give this one a low review. One it doesn’t come with the cord needed to go in back of your TV so either have one or go but one. Two is really the reason why. It’s the worst DVD player I’ve ever owned. It takes a long time to load and start playing. Also each time you want to put in a DVD even if playing more than 1 DVD, if you want closed captioning you have to select it. You basically are restarting everything each time you want to hit play. If you hit pause or replay/ fast fwd too many times it will tell you the DVD cannot be Read or it will say No DVD when there is clearly one in there. The remote is small and the buttons are too close so if you select the wrong button you’re likely to start the DVD over… That’s if you can get it to play again. Honestly I have DVD/ VHS combination that is 21 years old. It plays way better than this one. Quality today is down the drain. The manufacturer should be giving this one away for free. Don’t waste your money. This is a true review. I still have time to return mine and I think I just have to.

I love it!
I love this DVD player! Weirdly it comes with RCA cables, but maybe they figure that people buying an old school player have a TV from 1998 and there. Iâd imagine they could save some money and scrap by just not including a cable and letting people buy the cable on their own. So I used my own HDMI cable.This is a reasonably modern player, and has no problems playing all my DVDs. It can also play media on a USB stick but I havenât tried that. Comes with a pretty standard remote. Supports CEC. There is nothing not to LOVE, so I recommend it to everyone who wants a reasonably decent player for a good price!!!

Un buen producto a precio accesible y el respaldo de la marca PANASONIC. Muy recomendable y con la opción de conectarlo con los cables RCA asà como el HDMI. En otros aparatos no es posible esta variante.Recomendable 100%

This work on 110 volt ac. I had to buy a 220 to 110 voltage converter to use this. And there is no display on this. You won’t know which track is playing.
