Panasonic DVD-RV30 DVD Player

Pros: Great machine, lots of features, optical output, wonderful sound
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: 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
. Although this dvd player is normally...

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: Super quality output, great value
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: 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: Nice price, ease of use, good features
Cons: Not a high end player, lacks compatibility with diverse formats

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: 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: 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...

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

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

Great Manual
* The manual that comes with this player is surprisingly helpful and informative. Throughout the manual are "For your reference" sections. These are tips to tell you about features...

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...

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: 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.
