I bought the A120 2 months ago and already, after only playing about a dozen DVDs, there are problems. It appears that my A120 has problems reading the second layer of a "dual" layer DVD. After doing some reading and talking with a lot of friends, most DVD players have problems. With some Sony products, the video and audio are out of sync! I wonder why this type of information does not appear in Consumer Reports? Do your homework! I like Panasonic but DVD is far from being defect free.
