Pros: Excellent pic and sound, great remote, good with scratched CDs and DVDs
Cons: Price might have been lower

Panasonic DVD-RV30S and RV30 is the same DVD player, except RV30S is silver whereas the RV30 is black. I prefer silver color and you might consider choosing silver over black too.

The picture and sound produced by this machine are...

Pros: Easy to use, inexpensive
Cons: None

Who wouldn’t want a DVD player? They’re the hottest thing right now, and it’s easy to see why. The picture quality is better than that of a VCR and the sound is fantastic as well. Of course, a lot of us don’t know a whole lot about DVD players....

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 ...

Pros: Even I can use it.
Cons: Can only be used with one of our televisions.

We sold our house at the end of November last year. Left all the gardening equipment, some furniture etc. for the new people. The day we signed the contract on the house, they presented us with a DVD player.

Well we let it sit until the...

Pros: Build quality, ease of use.
Cons: Mushy buttons on remote. Only one type of digital-audio out.

The DVD-RV30S is the silver version of Panasonic's popular DVD-RV30 DVD player (black). These are both 2000 models, since replaced by the DVD-RV31S and DVD-RV31K (silver and black, respectively). With both the RV30 and the RV31, of course, there's...

Pros: Lots of options
Cons: No coax output

Cons: didn't find any

This is another great gift I received for my 21st birthday (this one was from my wife… thank you baby).

I had a DVD-ROM on our computer for quite some time now, so we had a few movies on DVD. Yeah, the movies were great on the computer DVD,...

Pros: Crystal clear pictures and amazing sound quality.
Cons: Needed a new t.v. to hook it up directly.

I got the Dvd Rv-30 for a prize from an online company a few months ago. I have to admit I was amazed that I got a good quality player for a prize. I honestly thought it would be a cheap one that is about $100.00 (like the ones I could afford, lol)....

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...

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...

Pros: Component Output, 2+Bass Virtual Surround Audio
Cons: Still Hasn't Dropped Under $100

I guess just about everybody has at least thought about buying a DVD player. Personally, I haven't been able to bring myself to make the plunge because, however cheap the things get, I just figure, why spend money on hardware when I already have a stereo...

Pros: Good performance and features
Cons: Had a problem with remote, weird resume feature implementation

Pros: Features, video/audio performance, component video, price
Cons: Menu color combinations

Pros: Great picture quality, VSS sound system is superb
Cons: Remote lacked some advanced features

I'll admit that I was a bit skeptical that such an inexpensive DVD player could really have a quality image and decent features. I was pleasantly surprised when I received this fine little DVD from Panasonic. Here's my review of the most important...

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...

Pros: Great picture and sound quality, excellent features, excellent remote, great price!
Cons: Can't access channels with a "one-click" sort of way through the remote... very small complaint.

I have owned a DVD-ROM drive since they were first introduced three years ago. I thought that DVD-ROM would be the standard media by now, but I guess I was wrong. The picture is very bad and movies on the player look like slide shows! So I decided to...

Pros: Lots of features, value priced
Cons: It can be expensive to build an entire system around a dvd player

Well, with the higher picture quality and the Dolby digital 5:1 sound, you're probably asking "why not?" I bought this player because it offered the most features for the least money. And also because Panasonic is a name that I trust.
...

Pros: Unique features, good overall quality, decent price
Cons: No CDR, No Zoom, only Optical digital outputs

* * * Positives * * *

Pros: Crisp, clear picture.....Outstanding sound quality.....Easy to install
Cons: Not for those who have yet to master the VCR

Santa is a jolly old elf though, and because of this, a Panasonic DVD found it's way into his sleigh, and under our tree. Christmas morning was success. The joy of Christmas reigned.

My son quickly tried to install the player, but...

Pros: Ease of use, Price, and RAZZLE DAZZLE VIDEO and AUDIO

Last year I decided to make the plunge into the world of home theater, and when I started doing the research into components, I was a bit taken aback by the amount of choices in speakers, receivers, and in DVD players. I was starting from scratch but...

Pros: Great picture and sound Panasonic quality Easy to use
Cons: Price should come down Wish I bought it in Silver!

I'm a big fan of Panasonic products. When I was in the market for a DVD player a year ago, I immediately looked to see what Panasonic had to offer. If I bought a DVD player and it lasted anywhere near as long as the Panasonic 1980's style vacuum...

Pros: you can get it for cheap
Cons: expensive

I dont know all that much about electronics. In fact, i know nothing about them. This DVD player is so easy to use that even I can do it without any trouble. The quality in both picture and sound are fantastic

Cons: None

At epinions.com, I found the Panasonic DVD-RV30 to be the most highly rated DVD player. So I decided to put it to the test. First off, I don't own this DVD player, but I have used it for quite a bit of time. I have been using Onkyo, Sony, Toshiba, and...

Pros: Features, Connectivity, Picture & Sound Quality
Cons: No Parental Lock?

I’ll admit, I was skeptical about DVD when it came out. I really didn’t see much of a need for the “super high quality” movies that DVD boasts. I didn’t have surround sound back then, so a VCR was quite adequate for my needs. I consider myself an avid...

Pros: Awesome sound and very easy to use
Cons: The remote that comes with it is not multi-brand. No decoder for 5.1 sound

As an owner of the RV30 DVD player, I have no complaints about this DVD player at all. Its very easy to use (even for a biologist like myself).

Ease of Use
Of course when you get home with your new found toy, you would rather...

Cons: it doesn't do EVERYTHING the BEST...

Before purchasing my JVC XV-523GD I did TONS of research... here's what I found:

...

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...

Pros: Picture Quality
Cons: THe only thing I didn't like is it didn't match my audio system, oh well!

Pros: Better video and audio output
Cons: Doesn't have a layer indicator

I bought Panasonic RV-30 and Sony DVP-S360 so I decided to compare them. I have created, what I call a “half-scientific” test:
WEGA 29” TV
-Same component cables
-A copy of “World Is Not Enough”
-Sony receiver
Video: I have...

Pros: Great Picture, Great Sound, Fun to watch
Cons: None that I can think of at this point

After much debate (and I mean MUCH debate) I finally decided to invest my money in the Panasonic DVD player. I have done research on Epinions for almost a month, as well as read reviews on many other websites to partially decide on this player. I went...

Pros: Easy setup, slim case, great price
Cons: Lack of universal remote

I researched DVD players for several weeks and could not find a better product in this price range. Setting up this DVD player is extremely easy, we were watching our first movie within ten minutes of taking it out of the box. The video is crystal...

Pros: Great Price For A Great DVD Player!
Cons: None!

The Panasonic DVD-RV30 is our first DVD player. My husband is EXTREMELY brand loyal to Sony, so let me explain how we ended up with the Panasonic.

THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS:
Originally, we considered a higher end Sony 3-disk...

Pros: Clarity, features, and footprint
Cons: none yet

This product far exceeded my expectations. I have other Panasonic electronics, TV's and VCR and the RV-30 is on par with my other positive Panasonic experiences. The DVD clarity and sound quality are excellent. Ease of installation was fabulous (also...

Pros: lots of options, not too expensive, great quality, good brand
Cons: no S-Video cable included, packaging doesn't really tell you specifications

My boyfriend recently told me he wanted to buy a DVD player, yes he is one of those who likes a lot of "toys" around the house. I agreed to do some shopping around with him, maybe find something that we both liked that wasn't too expensive....

Pros: Perfect picture, Great enhanced stereo sound, great price
Cons: I can't think of any

Just after being a year old, my DVD rom drive on my PC went out and I had absolutely no way of watching any of my dvd movies. I use to run the S-video output from my video card on my computer to my TV. I then decided to treat myself to an early...

Pros: Plays any disc, great sound and picture quality
Cons: Does not play CD-R or CD-RW, or MP3 CD's

I have owned this player for 6 months now. It has never had a problem on any DVD. I have rented many DVD's and some of them were quite scratched, and it has never skipped or missed a beat. Layer changes are quick and barely noticeable. The multiple...

Pros: Price, Package, Ease of use
Cons: none

Having a substantial inventory of VHS tape, making the initial jump to DVD was a challenge. I had already been through the Beta-VHS debacle and did not want to repeat the experience, so I waited a while.

I also own various high quality stereo...

Pros: Can be used as a great starter system and later integrated into a more advanced home theatre
Cons: Remote isn't backlit (minor!)

Great value for the discriminating but budget minded! At the time I bought mine (9/24/00), the Panasonic RV30 was readily available at $245 from multiple sources. For the features included, I found it the best value in a high quality name brand DVD. If...

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...

Pros: stereo and subwoofer out, virtual surround sound, quick loading, composite video out
Cons: no zoom, no digital coax output

I've used this player for 5 months now and I am happy with my purchase. When I was looking at purchasing a DVD player, I went out to the local electronics store to see the the options. This player had many options that other players did not.
...

Pros: Inexpensive player for beginners like myself.
Cons: Unless you're an video/audiophile, there are none.

When my best friend jumped on the DVD band wagon, I thought to myself, 'Geez, why pay so much for a juiced up VCR that can't even record?' Boy was I blown away when I first saw the pictures that a DVD can produce, even on 10 year old television sets....

Pros: Easy to use, great sound
Cons: Remote is kind of annoying

I have had my Panasonic DVD-RV30 for about a month now and have had no problems. I watch DVDs approximately 15-20 times a month and have been nothing but impressed with this machine.
It was strangely easy to set up-in fact, I'm still convinced that...

Pros: Separate subwoofer input, availability at a low price
Cons: newer model has more features

This opinion is on the dvd-rv30 by pansonic. It is a discontinued model, but now you can pick it up for $150 or less if you shop around. It has some standard features and some extra ones, but it is definitely worth the price.

The best feature...

Pros: price, picture and audio quality
Cons: none that I can see!

I've been looking for a DVD player for the past year or so and when I came across this player for $140 I was a bit skeptical. I thought to myself, "What's the problem with this thing?" Regardless of my skepticism I bought this player anyway and have been...

Pros: Very cheap right now!
Cons: It's always out of stock

I just ordered this item and I want everyone to know about the great deal i got. Right now if you go to www.techbargains.com, you can get the eletronic code for amazon. The codes gives you a $50 instant discount if you buy any electronics above $200. The...

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...

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...

Pros: Good Price (Where I Bought It) Plays all DVD's Great Sound & Picture Quality
Cons: No Zoom Feature Remote Not Backlit

This is the first DVD player that I had ever owned and I was very impressed with many things. First the price, on Amazon.com i found it for $150 with free shipping. It was perfect because it could connect to my speakers and my tv without extra wires...

Pros: Great picture, sound, easy controls
Cons: Price

I just bought this DVD player for my new entertainment system. It is the greatest DVD player because it is so easy to use. I'm not a techie, and even I knew how to set this DVD player up. It's so easy and the directions are great. The remote is also very...

Pros: MP3 and CDR playback, good picture & sound and very reasonably priced
Cons: MP3 files -can't see files.

This is for the new Panasonic RV31 which just came out Feb-01. It's a great machine especially for the money.
All the bells and whistles. You don't need DTS decoder etc... since your home theatre receiver will have one. Anyways it will sound good...

Pros: nice picture
Cons: none

Wow, i just got my new dvd player for christmas and i have to tell you i love it. The picture on my dvd player is a lot better than any vcr i have ever owened. It has a very nice sound to it as well. I think that it sounds just like i am in the movie...

Cons: Takes up a lot of space, Need a dolby digital decoder for theater sound

When I first started looking at DVD's on the internet, I got several headaches. I looked and looked and looked and couldn't find the one I wanted. I compared several models that I liked and actually narrowed it down to under 10 great DVD players. In my ...

Pros: Provides crystal clear picture, sound quality blew me away
Cons: A bit pricey but well worth it.

I was skeptical at first saying to myself that a DVD player provides the same quality as a VCR. How wrong i was. I compared a DVD movie and a NEW vhs tape and the difference is incrediible. No need to fuss with tracking either with DVD's.
...

Pros: cheap
Cons: none

I Think that the Panasonic DVD - RV30 is a work of art. It shows split screen action, frame by frame action, and super fast screening techniques. To top it all off, it costs only $300. This is $1200 less than the competition. I think that...

Pros: Great picture and sound
Cons: None

I just bought this DVD player and it is fantastic. I bought it to replace a DVD player I had, the Oritron DVD100, which went kaput after 9 months, stay away from Oritron or Koss products! They suck!

This Panasonic is compact, easy to use,...

Pros: Nice pictures that are clear and sharp.

...

Pros: Good DVD Player

The DVD-RV30 is an excellent DVD/CD player. DVDs look great! The blacks are very deep and colors are vivid on my Toshiba television. There are a few options on the Panasonic to fine tune the picture that I have never seen on players at this price point...

Pros: EASY TO USE!!!
Cons: haven't found one yet

This DVD player is FANTASTIC!

We hadn't done a much research on different DVD players on the market and based our purchase of the Panasonic on our experience with Panasonic TV sets. We had always been impressed with the quality of their...

Pros: Media Support(CD-R,CD,VCD,DVD) MP3!!!!! looks good, sounds good, never had a problem, price
Cons: None

This review is really for the RV-31 but I have owned both the RV-30 and the RV-31 and they are both great. The only noticeable difference being the CD-R/RW and Mp3 support, the other differences are mostly minor. I have to say this is the best DVD player...

Pros: Great picture and easy setup
Cons: Remote Control

I shopped around and found this DVD for a price of just over $200. The playback and sound quality are excellent. Adding the component to a TV is very straightforward. The only problem I had was that my projection TV already had been programmed as to...

Cons: Won't do CD-R's, no back light on remote

I researched DVD players for quite a while before purchasing this unit and I think that I found the right mix between the "super cheap" units and the "super expensive" units. The output quality (video and audio) of this unit is...

Pros: Picture is sharp and clear. The sound and extra features are great.
Cons: none

The Panasonic DVD RV30 has been great. Before I had a regular VCR. It produced a bad picture and had horrible tracking. My family and I missed out on watching the high quality pictures the Panasonic DVD RV30 supplies.
The DVD comes in black...

Pros: Excellent picture quality, not costly for what you get and its worth every penny!
Cons: None

It took me a while to make the transition from VHS to DVD, but once I did, I couldn't be more glad that I decided on the Panasonic.

I have always loved movies and own many VHS cassettes, but the problems with VCRs and tapes were getting in...

Pros: Great picture quality, great extra features
Cons: What do you mean, spaceballs isn't on dvd?

I picked up this dvd player, well, because i wanted to watch the matrix on a dvd player!! Seriously, these things allow far greater depth than just stupid movie features. (although adding dropped scenes and crew interviews from such great films like My...

Pros: picture

I have never seen a DVD player with such great picture. The color is sharp and bright, there are no annoying shadowes in dark seens.There is an on screen menu that allows you to change many settings from brightness to sound. It is simple to use and can...

Pros: quality

Cons: Price is still kind of high

This is the third DVD player I've ever owned and by far it is the best. I can't help reccomend the features on this model like the surround audio and the 5 in 1 DVD changer. I just cant say enough about how great it is. I've had it for about a month now...

Pros: Ease of Use
Cons: No MP3 playing

I was in the market to purchase a DVD player. I did not have much knowledge of the differences between them. When I entered the store to buy one and saw DVD players ranging from $99 to $350, only home ones, not portables, I had no idea about which one...

Pros: Cheap, Good, No compatibility issues
Cons: Remote

This unit is quite a little stunner. It's built solidly, the tray feels screwed on tight, and doesn't wobble around.

For a starter/semi-starter unit, this Panasonic is chock full of features. Picture quality is stellar, and so is the options...

Pros: High Quality
Cons: None

When using this DVD player, everything just seems to go your way. I have never seen such a fine piece of audio/video equipment in my entire life. I wasn't really into the whole DVD thing when it was big & new, but then I started to hear about how great...

Cons: None!

Cons: pricey for quality, does not play MP 3s, can't hook up a home theater system

The player itself is realley nice. I have this one and an RV 41 so I have something to compare it to. For the ultimate lowest price you could buy this marvel of Japanese technology, you are better off getting an RV 31 or an RV 41. It has no MP3 playback,...

Pros: If you want a high quality dvd player this is it.
Cons: I feel the price could be a little less.

...

Pros: Picture Quality, Sound Quality, and easy to use!
Cons: Not lots of DVD's available for rent at your local rental store.

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.
...
