DVD Player with Dolby Digital Sound, 1080p HD Upscaling for DVDs, HDMI and USB Connections - DVD-S700 (Black)

The Panasonic DVD player exceeded my expectations. Great picture and sound quality, very quiet operation. No issues at all, so I would highly recommend this as an economical and very functional unit. I almost decided not to purchase based on some reviews, but am very glad I chose this player. Highly recommend!!!

Great product. Easy set up and works well with our Samsung TV. And the price is fantastic.

I looked at alot of DVD players and was disappointed in most of what I saw. Some went straight to the video instead of to the menu, some had an audio lag, some were painfully slow to start, and some had unintuitive remote controls. I was especially disappointed with all of the Sony DVD players I looked at. For this and other products Sony has really gone downhill. This Panasonic player loads quickly, sets up easily, opens the menu, the remote has alot of buttons but it is easy to learn, it doesn't generate heat, and basically it does everything it is supposed to do better than many other brands. It does upconvert, not all the way to 1080 (none of them do due to the original quality of the recording), but the picture is better than I expected and there are no artifacts like in other upconverting DVD players. It works through my eARC connections (when I turn the DVD player on my TV also turns on and selects the correct HDMI port on my TV, plus it turns my soundbar on in the correct sound mode), and my TV adds some additional upconversion. It should note that I have a newer 4K TV and I use certified 8K HDMI cables. Since this is installed in an enclosed cabinet, I installed an IR repeater with an outside the cabinet sensor and this player and remote control have no problem with IR response at all. I am very happy with the quality and operation, specially given the price of this DVD player.

I replaced my 25 yr old Panasonic player with this one!! Works great, I love it!!

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 4x3 (for old square TVs) rather than 16x9 (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.

Very poor product. Does not play classic DVDs very well. The picture turned out to be a very, very, small ribbon across the middle of my TV screen, and adjusting the format only made it worse, exploding most of the picture off of the viewable tv screen. I cannot overemphasize how SMALL the ribbon of picture was, it was ridiculous. I know it was the DVD player because I purchased a Sony DVD player on Amazon afterward that cost a little more but plays the DVDs perfectly. I did not send it back, but I definitely should have, I do not recommend this product at all.

After doing some research, I purchased this dvd player to play CD's. It does a good job playing the CD's that I tried out...no skipping and good sound quality. Easy to hook up to my audio receiver. Good price for the product. I recommend buying NEW in case issues arise.

I have been extremely pleased with this purchase. It arrived on time and in perfect condition. It is easy to use which helps! There are plenty of features to please electronic aficionados. I would purchase this item again.

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 así como el HDMI. En otros aparatos no es posible esta variante. Recomendable 100%

Alles ist so wie ich es erwartet hatte. Ich bin froh, dass ich diesen wundervollen Artikel gefunden habe. Vielen Dank, Petru-Stefan Bruciu

Pas ce que je recherché, mais il est formidable cet appareil

Adorei pois sou colecionadora de DVD's. Só não reproduz Blu Ray. Recomendo.

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. Amazon should not allow customers to be cheated like this.
