DVD Players & Recorders

Panasonic DVD/VCR Progressive Scan DMR?ES46V From what I can see there is not much to choose from in this class of equipment. This DVD/VCR has some good and bad points. The remote control does not have a TV control code listing for my 42?Vizio ...

Bouth new at costco for $289. Worked well for only a few weeks then HDMI broke. Replaced without a problem, but only worked for a few weeks again. Will return for cash and seek another brand.

After extensive research I decided on this model and I'm so happy I did.It is very easy to use but you must get familiar with the manual. I love manuals. After I hooked it up to my HDTV, which was very easy,all I did was play DVD's. Great...

If you have a really old VHS tape, then you must play it on another VCR to get it to record to DVD. This is because the unit will stop the recording every time it thinks there is a dropout on the VHS tape. The only way to over-ride this function is

Unit works good when it's working. Unit will lock up, missing scheduled recordings, and the only way to reset it is to unplug it. You can't even turn it off when it locks up, except to unplug it. It seems to lock up quite frequently. Will probabl

HDMI upconversion works flawlessly and you can see the difference in quality. Recording is a breeze. I've only had it for a month and haven't had a chance or really a reason to try some of the more advanced features, but for basic recording and HDMI

We bought this when our Panasonic DVD recorder went on the fritz--what a difference! We will go back to Panasonic! It is so-o user friendly and makes so much more sense-in every aspect of its operation. We fixed our Panasonic. Anyone want the Tos

I bought this player / recorder mainly to archive the shows on my DVR to dvd. I also wanted HDMI upscaling and DivX compatibilty. This player does a good job (not excellent) at all of that. The upscaled picture (1080i) is a little better than the

This DVD Player had everything I needed at a very good price. There may be better players out there, but not for the price!

The reason that I purchased this player was because it was the cheapest HD upconversion player with the best rating here on CNET. Some may call that the best value player. I just purchased and installed a new 5.1 sound system in my apartment to comp

I bought this model because it could play Europe-zone DVD's and DivX. It can indeed play PAL zone-2 movies, but picture quality is horrible on a 4:3 screen (may be better on a 16:9, as far as I can tell by zooming on the picture). Edges suffer from i

Editors' Note: We've adjusted the rating to bring it the DVP5960/37 line with recent upscaling DVD players. HDMI-equipped DVD players have suddenly become commonplace this year, to the point where they don't cost much more than a generic DVD...

I feel I have wasted my money on this maxchine. Beautifully constructed it may be, but highs are reproduced with an abrasiveness I've not encountered since the early days of CD. Note: I have not tested the units surround quality. The above...

Still the same stupid Navigator. If I knew that Sony did not fix (Maybe rewrite) their navigation software, I wouldn't have bought this unit. Picture and sound (Specially Sound) quality is not any better that my $59 toshiba.

The Sony DVP-CX777ES mega DVD changer can hold up to 400 DVD, CD and SACD discs, in any order or combination. Anyone with a large home entertainment library can imagine how handy it would be to store an entire collection in a single player that...

Great picture on all formats, my only complaint is that the unit is slow to respond to commands, I don't know if that is how all Blu-Rays are, but mine is very slow and I have already had to install 2 firmware updates, but that is not that big of a d

ok so i bought this player when I purchased the samsung HL-T6187s wich is a awsome TV. Anyways when I played BD it had some type of audio lag so it sounded like an old poorrly dubbed kug fu movie. Not to mention the loading time was a little longer

This player works great for Blu-Ray movies but has problems with SD movies. Each time I try to watch an SD movie the player will stop 3-5 times during the movie and go back to the blue Samsung screen. I see from forums that others are experiencing

Bought these to use with Toshiba HDD/DVD Video Recorder [model RD-XS34SU]. Had to format first, happy to report they work like a charm. Less hassle than those with cartridges, and this price was excellent on DVD-RAM rewritable media compared to...

first i was skeptical whether it could really play other formats... as i had a lot of divx videos. to my surprise it played almost all. Now there is no need to painfully try to convert the video formats to dvd version. I can watch all of them burnin

I bought two of them for mykids, and quickly returned them both. The dics have to be pristine for this player to read them. .

I'm returning this one and waiting about 6-12 months before buying. 1) There are limited titles available mostly older movies. 2) This player is extremely slow. 3) You're better off with a $100 progressive scan with component or HDMI output. You'll

Looks great but one word of warning, push the power on button, then go get a snack or do the dishes or perhaps mow the lawn, because it takes that long to respond!

Great player and after plugging in the required connectons on my new Sharp Aquios 42" LCD the picture quality was stunning. After reading a few other reviews I will agree that loading does take time and rather slow. This is right from opening of the
