Aside from the annoying load times and the fact that it broke after the first 9 months, this was a pretty good DVD player otherwise.I got this player as a gift to replace a vintage player from the late 1990's. In contrast it was a pretty bad move, while my old player would load a disc in no time flat, the Panasonic would take about 30-45 seconds to read the disc BEFORE it began playing.It was something I could live with, but I wouldn;t have to for long. After about 9 months the thing started showing error H07. BLAST. I started to Google and came to realize I was not the only person with this problem.I contacted Panasonic via Email, they informed me that I would have to ship my player away and would be charger labor to repair the player.Seeing mixed results on the web, and with a hefty price tag of approx.85-100 for the repair I decided against it, and pulled my old payer out of the closet.I WILL NEVER BUY PANASONIC ANYTHING ever again.
