Shame on those who purchase this!

by amazingdm , May 29 '01
Pros: Nothing
Cons: LOW quality, WILL break, HIGH price
I saw the last guy's bad opinion of this dvd player and listed a pro as "Panasonic name".
Sure, Panasonic is a big name, but I don't get why. Every thing I've bought of theirs has either broken completely, or partially or had bad quality.

DV What?

by vi9 , Jun 19 '01
Pros: It's a Panasonic that turns on!
Cons: Everything after it actually turned on...
Ladies and Gent's, this is supposedly a DVD player! When I first broke open the box, I was surprised to find that Panasonic actually did make a DVD player. When I first plugged it in, I thought the thing was going to shoot sparks, due to a horrible...

Excellent player with a significant flaw

by narenji Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 20 '00
Pros: Features, video/audio performance, component video, price
Cons: Menu color combinations
Panasonic has always made quality audio and video products, and for a while now, I've known that Panasonic is generally one of the best marques to buy if you're looking for a good, reliable product at a good price. Sure there are cheaper products, and...

Problem with home made VCD

by yangsinj , Mar 22 '02
Pros: Good sound and image
Cons: Problem with home made VCD
You have read or heard many people say that Panasonic DVD-RV30S DVD Player is very good. I agree the sound and image quality is pretty good. It is very easy to hook up with you TV, VCR, or stereo system. But the remote control is not easy to use. I...

by wideiris , Jan 27 '01
Pros: simple, lots of outputs, quick play feature
Cons: no zoom, questionable quality
This isn't necessarily a slam against this exact player, and I'll explain that later. First, the pros: I bought this player because it had such good options. The Virtual Surround Sound worked great on my non-digital stereo system, the dialogue...

A good DVD player but I found a better one...

by marcman , Jul 09 '01
Pros: Good performance and features
Cons: Had a problem with remote, weird resume feature implementation
Note: I am actually reviewing the RV-27. The RV-27 and RV-31 are basically replacement models for the RV-30 that add MP3 support and cost the same. These models are replacing the the RV-30 in stores, but have not yet appeared in the Epinions product...

No Fuss DVD Player

by BurritoBuddah , Jan 07 '01
Pros: Easy to use, quiet, easy setup
Cons: few frills, basic DVD remote
I bought this because my CD player died and I figured for a little extra
money, why not get something that plays movies, too . I did lots of research here at epinions.com and all around the web. My dad likes Panasonic and I agree with him, inasmuch...

No fuss DVD

by BurritoBuddah , Jan 08 '01
Pros: Quiet, Panasonic name
Cons: manual, few frills, menus
I bought this because my cd player died and I got a free 3 year warranty on this DVD player and a good price on it. It's light in weight and quiet. The faceplate is laid back. The remote is okay but nothing to shout about. The instruction manual is...

This DVD player is very adequate for your uses.

by zhouse , Feb 02 '01
Pros: Possesses great technology for playing your DVDs.
Cons: Possesses outdated technology that has been eclipsed by newer DVD players.
The Panasonic DVD-RV30 is a DVD player my best friend received this past Christmas as a present. Since I'm in the business of writing reviews and electronic opinions, I asked my friend if I could give this sucker a test drive and see if it's...

Not up to my expectations

by jackweesha70 , Jan 25 '01
Pros: Great sound, picture, and all for a great price.
Cons: Not top of the line.
The Panasonic DVD-RV30 is a great DVD player. It is pretty standard among most recent DVD Player models. I bought this particular model because in doing research, I found it to be the best choice for the price range I was looking for. In buying it I...

Consumer Favorite

by dmezzer Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 14 '01
Pros: Solid Construction and ease of use. A great value.
Cons: Lacks some of the higher end quality enhancements.
I actually own the Panasonic DVD-RV80, but in my search evaluated the RV30 as well and realize that the extras included in the RV80 may not be worth the price difference for everyone although they definitely were for me. In this review my intention is...

by ace3502 , May 01 '01
Pros: Fantastic picture great clarity and an excellent sound system.
Cons: Fantastic pictures and great clarity only come with a digital quality television and surround sound.
This player is of relatively high quality with a great picture clarity and excellent sound system IF you have the money to buy it. The picture quality is best described as flawless. It is almost like watching it on the big screen but with no hesitations ...
