Review 1 of 198

Price Paid:  $230.00 from best buy

Summary:
I 've had the Panasonic DVD RV-30 for over 3 years now, and it plays great. It was a B-Day gift so i didn't have the nerve to return it for one that can play multiple CD formats. So no CD-R's on this DVD player, and lets face it, "everybody burns em and plays em". That is the only inconvenience of Panasonic's DVD Player RV 30.

Weaknesses:
Only plays DVD & audio CD's

Review 3 of 198

Price Paid:  $389.00 from Sears

Summary:
I purchased this DVD player back in September of 2000. So far, it has been really reliable, and displays an excellent picture. It's a straight-forward player, without a lot of bells & whistles, which I like very much. The assembly is solid, and it's one of the last DVD players that was made in Japan. I am hoping to get a lot of years out of it, but then again, the electronics today don't seem to be made to last more than 7 years, but maybe I will be lucky.

Strengths:
Ease of use, great picture

Weaknesses:
None that I can think of.

Review 4 of 198

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
After less than two years of very light usage (probably used 10 times in that time frame), my Panasonic DVD player no longer plays in color. The picture is black and white. THE SAME DAMN THING HAPPENED WITH MY PANASONIC VCR! This is the last Panasonic product I will ever buy.

Strengths:
Great pictue while it lasts.

Weaknesses:
It doesn't last.

Review 5 of 198

Price Paid:  $179.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
This is for the RV31, purchased in 12/01. It started having problems in June. Started getting a scrambled pixeled picture every so often. Thought it was dirty disk or dust built up in the unit. Then in August I got a "cannot read file format" message and it would eject the disk. I opened it up to clean and unplugged/replugged a few connectors. Worked for a while but now stopped again. Now it will only play CD's. Thought it would last like their VCRs but guess not.

Strengths:
Many features. Good picture while it worked. Now great CD player!

Weaknesses:
Died after 8 months under very light use.

Similar Products Used:
This was my DVD player.

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

AudioREVIEW's Budget Audiophile Holiday Guide

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
