Summary:
I'll go along with the 2 reviews below. This player is plagued with problems, or a specific motor problem. Mine displayed an HO2 error after 11 months. Panasonic had the good sense to totally redesign their new players. Its a shame they're not any good either.

Strengths:
Stunning picture, Faroudja DCDi, decent DVD-A.

Weaknesses:
It doesn't work any more.

Similar Products Used:
Other Panny DVD players. An army of CD players, none of which ever died over the entire lifetime of CD.

Price Paid:  $279.00

Summary:
This machine produces a stunning progressive scan image, when its working. After 6 months it experienced the H02 failure. It cost $85.00 to repair it. After two weeks IT FAILED AGAIN!

Summary:
It's a lemon. After 10 months I got the dreaded H02 error and it died. If you do a Google search on "Panasonic H02" you'll see what I mean. Panasonic DVD players of this generation seem to be plagued by this problem.
