Summary: Prayers are answered for those who wait.
Review: As a mildly obsessive, to out right fiendish connoisseur of ...video entertainment I was perplexed 4 years ago when DVD’s came on the scene. I had my trusty vcr that brought me the satisfaction I needed to make it through the day. But the incredible picture and sound produced by the DVD format made me very jealous of the others in my video trading club who could afford the then expensive DVD players. But I wasn't worried, my vcr was fine, and films were still in ample supply in that format. Then about a year ago, the guys in my video trading group seamed to only have DVDs. At the next swap the guys decided they were going strictly DVD. I was devastated. I could not justify the purchase of a DVD player when my vcr was working fine. But I could not afford to lose the incredible selection an film swapping group allots you. So I went home and prayed for help for my predicament. One morning as I got ready for work my vcr just quit playing, right in the middle of my favorite flicks. I checked to make sure, but it was completely dead. I called in sick, went to Circuit City in search of a dream. I went in and explained my situation. They showed me the new vcrs, and the new DVDs, but going for the gold my young sales associate friend showed me his grand daddy model, the Panasonic PV-DF2700. I didn't really need a new TV, but my 21" model was 12 years old, and it was about due for replacement. And that pure flat screen is just unbelievable. The clarity is a thousand times better then my old RCA. The DVD looks and sounds great, and the vcr is top notch for a non SVHS model. The remote control is both attractive and functional, with well marked keys and a nice sense of ergonomics. The DVD format is great, and all my favorite classics are being re-released on DVD. I for one can see no point at which DVD will ever stop. This was the best $... I have ever spent. When I showed up at the next video swap, everyone was in awe that I arrived with 5 brand new DVDs in hand. We had a group hug and they all congratulated me on a great leap into the brave new world of digital video. And when I told them I could record their DVDs while I watched them with just the push of a button, I realized they were the ones who were jealous now. I highly recommend this set to everyone. Thank you for your time.

Summary: low sound/volume when playing dvd's
Review: i bought one of these from cosco for $...and loved the overall set. however, whenever we played a dvd, we had to turn the volume up to its highest level in order to get normal sound. we called panasonic and they finally said it was a defective set and to return it,etc. the pasasonic people were less than friendly and could have cared less about the problem. we went to circut city and looked at the same set. guess what? the same problem with the sound when playing a dvd. the bottomline is that panasonic is no longer welcome in our house and we'll never buy anything from them again. they don't care about the customer or care about making anything right.

Summary: Panasonic PV-DF2700
Review: I bought this tv to stand alone in the bedroom. It is not hooked up to an amplifier. There is a problem with the DVD sound - you have to turn the volume WAY up when watching a DVD.
In addition, you can hear the DVD humming when it is playing.
The TV picture tube has been replaced once and is now on the fritz again. It will suddenly go black (no signal) or just loose the signal and play "snow" or just come and and out of focus. Debugging this one is tough. I do not recommand it as a TV or DVD player.

Summary: Video adjust probs
Review: loses brightness after a few hours, then too dark to see on screen adjust tools-- then resets every time you turn it off-remote control is ridiculous--the secret service guy carrying the "football" with the president has less steps to program a nuclear strike than a panasonic user to brighten his tv

Summary: This is a great product!
Review: My husband and I are both media maniacs! It's not that we watch an abundance of TV, but when we do, or view DVD's, we are very critical. This product is really a great buy. It is everything we expected, as well as the usual excellence in customer service and delivery from amazon.com.

The only thing that I believe may surprise or annoy some people, is that the user's guide has significant set-up instructions. Since this does not bother us (we actually like it--OK, call us geeks), this was not a problem. But for those consumers who want to buy, click and use--this may be cumbersome/frustrating. Consumers should keep in mind that any home electronic equipment with this many fabulous, built-in features may require significant set-up time to experience its full value.

Thanks, amazon.com!
