Summary: Optical pickups die on these units
Review: Watch out, buyers. Panasonic's A-series of DVD players will work great for a year or so, then the optical pick-up will stop working. Then you can't watch any more DVDs without spending $150-200 in repairs. It is a flaw that sent my unit into the shop, just outside of the warranty period. If you are going to buy this unit, be sure to buy an extended warranty with it. Boo Panasonic.

Summary: Great Performer - Annoying Remote
Review: I bought this unit with some trepidation; because of some other reviews, but I have not had the 1st problem with the Panasonic. No freezing, pixelating... It has performed wonderfully. I've tried the movies that were supposed to be 'problems' with no undesirable results. I can't drop this DVD player down a whole star because of the buttons on the remote.

Summary: get ready for problems down the road
Review: I actually own the 110 model. After 18 months, it no longer reads disks PERIOD. Read the other reviews and avoid Panasonic.

Summary: Solid Performer
Review: I have two of these and I am pleased with their performance, both audio and video, overall. The discs I use for reference are Anchor Bay's "The Black Hole" for video (a great transfer and a really good way to see variations in light and dark on the screen) and "The Matrix" for audio (very nice, dynamic AC-3 sound track). The only thing that tarnishes these units is the fact that the remotes have buttons that ARE ALL THE SAME SIZE (get a clue remote designers, we need remotes that you can operate in a closet blindfolded) and it doesn't light up in the dark. Other than that, no problems so far in two months.

Summary: Super Easy
Review: This is a wonderful DVD player. I consulted the directions only once for like 5 seconds to make sure how to hook it up to the TV. After that, I just popped in a DVD and it was pretty easy from there. The remote is real easy to understand. It doesn't have a bunch of unnecessary buttons like one of those Toshiba DVD players.The only extra thing you need to buy is a cord to hook it up to the TV. But that's not a big deal. I went to Sears and got a cord for under $10. You can get an S-Video cable or the cable with the red, yellow, and white things on each end (I got the multi-color one). Other than that, this is a great DVD player. Just make sure your TV is the right holes in the back. Mine didn't so I had to set it up at my friends house (it sucks being a poor college kid).

Summary: Having Problems with DVD A120
Review: I just bought A-120 Panasonic DVD player. When I was watching the Matrix and started using the features that was with the movie (e.g. special features which allowed you to jump from one scene to the other), it(DVD player) started freezing on me. It stopped reading the DVD record. I had to turn it on and off. This solved the problem but after watching two or more DVD movies, the problem started again giving me a message that a wrong disc was inserted. Anybody else having the same kind of problem? I really enjoyed this player until it started giving me this problem. any comments?

Summary: RE: Doing your homework - A120
Review: It's me again. It's obvious that there are problems with the A120 and other DVD players. My friends who have Sony players all experience the "lip sync" problem from time to time. I RETURNED my A120 and got another one. It works fine! Bottom line, if Panasonic does not want to admit that there is something wrong with their player, make sure you buy your player someplace where you can return it (not get it repaired - can they be repaired? ). I bought mine at Sears. 3 months later they exchanged it with no problem! Let Panasonic get the broken ones back! I move up my rating because it is a good player. I'm just mad that I had to revisit the store to get one that actually works. :-)

Summary: Junk
Review: I have had the same experience as many of the other reviewers on this forum, pixelation and freeze-up. I have had mine for less than one year and it has now failed for the third time. Panasonic is absolutely no help and will not recognize that they have a faulty product. I will never purchase any of their products based on the service I have received

Summary: Panasonic does not stand behind their products
Review: I also had a bad optical pick-up after 16 months and very light use. Repair costs $200. I called Panasonic and they don't admit to having any problems with this player. Obviously they are lying. I have purchased my last Panasonic product.
