Summary: May have to replace it in less than a year
Review: Bought it in June 2003, started to give me errors (H05) in March 2004. It locked up half way through a couple of DVDs. New clean DVDs. It keep trying to read the disks and failing. A google search revealed that a lot of people said their panasonic dvd players didn't last a year. The warrenty is only 90 days for labor, 1 year for parts, so the options were to ship it away for a month or so then pay more than the cost of a new player for labor to get it fixed or buy a new non-panasonic unit. I bought a JVC for 80 bucks instead of getting it fixed.

Summary: Worked for a while
Review: Small comfort that I'm not the only one having trouble with this player. It has been steadily degrading since six months after I bought it to the point where I no longer can play DVDs without the player ruining the experience. Called Panasonic and got no help except being offered to buy a refurbished replacement for $90 + shipping. No thanks! I will never buy a Panasonic DVD player again.Stay away!

Summary: Very Pleased
Review: I got this item for Christmas, I am always very cautious before writing a review and I examine a product for several weeks.
Easy to use, simple remote, easy hook up. I would recommend this DVD player to anyone. I have played over 100 DVDs on this play so far and not one problem yet.
(Even from some of the scratched ones) If you are thinking about this player don't hesitate buy it you won't regret it.

Summary: Died with HO2 errors after 5 months of infrequent use
Review: While I enjoyed decent picture quality and sound with this DVD player, it suddenly decided to die after 5 months. I already had had bad luck with it making lots of weird disturbing whirring sounds when playing certain DVDs (all bought from good retailers) and sometimes malfunctioning, pixelating with lots of artifacts. It would sometimes stall and I would have to reset the player by turning it off and unplugging it. Finally, after 5 months of infrequent use and perfect care, it refused to play any sort of disc whatsoever and gave me HO2 errors. It would also turn off by itself. Suffice it to say that I am **very unhappy** with this unit and won't be buying another Panasonic DVD Player again.

Summary: Plays everything....for 8 months.
Review: I was really happy with this player, until it started giving me H02 errors for every DVD fed to it. Cost of repair is as much as a new comparable unit. Just not acceptable....sorry, Panasonic, you've lost a customer permanently.

Summary: Was okay for first 9 months.
Review: This unit worked fine for the first nine months we had it. Then, we kept getting an HO1 error. The DVD would act like it was starting then the entire player would shut off. We read the manual, which was no help. Called Panasonic for tech support. They said the laser is probably misaligned from a drop or putting something hot on the unit (neither happened). They said we could send the unit (at our cost) to them and they would charge us for parts and for labor OR we could purchase a new player for $100. Since we'd only had the player for nine months and had treated it wonderfully, neither choice seemed acceptable. We are not satisfied with the way Panasonic handled this case. Basically, we had DVD watching for less than a year and we'll have to purchase a new player. It certainly won't be from Panasonic.

Summary: Good DVD player for a reasonable cost
Review: I purchased it last month and no doubt, it's performance is good. This is my first DVD player. Earlier I used to have a VCD player. Compared with that, this box is good one. Amazing audio quality. But, I am struck with the video quality. The movie is sluggish. Is it due to the step-down transformer I am using to bring the voltage from 240 to 110? Infact, I got a US model to use in India. So, I am using a 110V step-down transformer. Other than that, everything is wonderful. MP3 and JPEG playing quality is quiet good.

Summary: Panasonic DVDS35K HO HUM AT BEST
Review: The DVD player played MP3's, VCD, CDR, CDRW, DVD, DVD-R, DVD-RW when I bought it on 08-17-03. Now..12/14/03... DVD only. I have re-initiliazed the DVD player several times, tried every other trouble shooting tip only to walk away feeling a bit agitated with my purchase. Let me preface this with I realize there are lemons out here. Apparently I bought one. The sad part is no one is willing to do anything about it and it has only been 4 months since I purchased it. The machine after a short 4 months stopped playing any other type of media except DVD. The really ironic part is I was replacing a Panasonic 5 disc DVD player that lasted 2 years. (I'm starting to see a trend here) The Store I purchased it from in WI does not offer returns after 15 days and has a 90 day exchange policy. Panasonic is more than happy to have me send it there way, though labor is an extra charge on top of shipping. BOTTOM LINE.... BUY SONY!!!!
