DVD Players > Panasonic DVD Players > No

Advantages: Picture and sound quality, plays most file formats, huge array of options
Disadvantages: No HDMI or upscaling

...If that player is the Panasonic S-33, then the answer is yes. Barring the HD formats above and SACD, it will play just about any format you throw at it. Its DivX playback is probably one of the reason you are reading this. Of course, you can get most of these playback features with a cheapo, low-quality player, but read on... The DVD picture quality on a standard TV is, quite simply, stunning for a DVD player at any price. However, it lacks the ...
...S-53, so this player is perhaps not the first choice if you have an HD TV. But on my CRT telly, the picture is above broadcast quality in my view, with no visible compression artifacts or edge effects at all, even on fade-ins/outs where you would normally see a certain degree of posterisation/dithering with other players. The audio output is clean, sharp, and pretty noiseless; orchestral music is particularly well served here (Alien and Bladerunner ... Read review

Advantages: branded player at a cheap price
Disadvantages: none

...as LG, Sony Jvc and Panasonic that i know will perform their task better than their nameless contemporaries. This leads me onto the Panasonic DVD-S 511 which i find fits the criteria correctly. Okay, it's not as inexpensive as the £30 Grundigs you could get, but its guaranteed to give you good quality movie playability. I brought this for £60, so below the price quoted by Ciao. For this i got a good dvd player that does what i want it to do coupled ...
...complaint, Panasonic will resolve it. The Performance So how does this player perform.

Advantages: Slim Design , Multi Region Function and Wife Friendly
Disadvantages: Will not support DVD+R media

...effect that matched exactly my Panasonic AV Control Receiver SA-XR15.They look very classy together in my home cinema corner. The player is very easy to use (even my wife has a go!!!) and the playback is of high quality.The sound is very good and picture perfect. This is the best player I have owned but make sure that nothing sits on top of it as it heats up and distorts playback. It is multiregional and plays DVD-r, DVDRAM, CD, CDr, MP3/WMA and ...
...as being important but I have a double layer DVD writer which will only write +r discs !! However this player is so good that I will not use the double layer function until I have to replace the player. The manual is very comprehensive and easy to understand.The player is fine when there is nothing on top of it. I found out the hard way when I tried to put my av controller on top of it!! The remote is ok - its more down to what you prefer but it ... Read review

Advantages: About £14 ($20) cheaper than RV-30
Disadvantages: No Component Video Output

The Panasonic RV-20 DVD player shows how tightly things have bunched up at the lower end of the fast-moving Digital Video Disk player market. Its picture quality is similar to that of the next model up in the line, the RV-30, and it only differs from that model by a couple of features and a few dollars of price. The RV-20 will usually sell for about £150 ($210), while the RV-30 goes for about £163 ($230). If I were buying a DVD player right now, ...
...If you really want to save a couple of bucks, the RV-20 is a decent DVD player that'll get the most out of any TV but one with component video input jacks. Otherwise, if you want a lower-priced Panasonic DVD player, you might as well go for the RV-30. ... Read review
