Summary: Pretty good
Review: I was happy with this DVD player until I bought a new computer with a DVD burner.
This player cannot play DVD-R discs (personally burned DVDs).
It also can't play DVD audio discs.
Also, it says that it will play mp3 cds - but the way in which you need to format those cds is so cumbersome as to make it not worth the effort.
If you're just going to rent movies, then this is a fine player at a great price - but that's about the limit of this player.

Summary: Great player with one annoying non-feature
Review: Plays DVDs without a hitch. Quite nice looking also. The only fault I can find with it is that it does not recall where you were in a DVD when you stop and turn it off.

Summary: No problems with this unit!
Review: I searched and searched for the right inexpensive unit and came across this one 6 months ago. I read the negatives but I purchased it anyways and have not had a single problem yet! The picture/sound is great and the MP3 player is a plus. The tracks being shown as a number is not a problem since I don't use that function regularly. The "open" button takes longer to open than my previous unit...minor detail. I basically wanted a DVD unit that had "optical out" sound, component hookups, a unit that was under $200 and reliable. This is the unit! If your searching for the same, you won't be disappointed by this unit!

Summary: H02rror
Review: Another victim of the H02 error. Player worked fine for 6 months before the H02 error and now will not play at all. It was used several times a week and we only put in clean dvds. I called Panasonic and they deny any problems with this player and claim to stand by their products, but if they did, they would pay to replace it. Panasonic wanted a $45 diagnostic fee and $89 labor fee plus I would have to pay shipping and insurance. I was also told it could take 8 weeks to get back and since they are just replacing a broken mechanism with another doomed one, what is the point? Stay away from this DVD player!!!!!!!

Summary: Another victim of lousy design
Review: Just got the dreaded HO2 message. Discs won't play anymore. Bought it 6 months ago, and we use it only a few times a month.Other commenters suggest throwing it away and looking for a better model by another maker. Go ahead and invest in better quality by another manufacturer, if you can find one. Still, I suggest sending it back to Panasonic and asking for a repair estimate. It may cost us a few bucks each, but they should end up being the ones to recycle this trash...

Summary: Stay away
Review: After about 5 months this player froze when playing a DVD, and now will not read any DVD. Displays HO2, same problem as many others who have written reviews warn about. This is a piece of junk.

Summary: Died on the 3rd DVD I fed it
Review: I bought an RV31K on [another online store]... and congradulated myself on purchasing such a well-reviewed DVD player so cheaply. I should have read the reviews here on Amazon. While watching a special feature on "Behind Enemy Lines", the DVD started "skipping", i.e. the picture and soundtrack stuttered. I stopped the player, brushed off the DVD, and started it again. It wouldn't read, and I got an H02 error code. It wouldn't read any other DVD either, or CD's. I'd chalk it up to individual bad luck if so many here hadn't reported the same problem. I just spent [my money] to watch 3 movies, hurrah.

Summary: Error Code H02
Review: I have had my unit for 4 months. Last night while my daughter and I were watching Harry Potter it stopped and despite every effort to start it all I could get was an error code H02. I called Panasonic and they told me the warrantee was for 90 days labor and 1 year parts and that I would have to send the unit in to get serviced at my own cost. Buyer beware. This is an unreliable machine. It may seem a good buy but for me it was just wasted money. Look for a better quality product. This is shoddy.

Summary: Very good!
Review: This DVD player is pretty good! The quality of the image and the sound is very nice, if you connect a home theater to it you will find that the sound quality is amazing. The only bad thing is that it is for DVD's Zone 1 only. When playing MP3's doesn't have a list of all the MP3 that the cd contains, only the number (playing song 4 out of 125) and that doesn't help when the CD is filled with MP3's. In general a great DVD.

Summary: H02 - me too
Review: 6 months old. Good, except when it's not working, which appears to be quite often. I too found it got worse over about 5 minutes, until... kaput. Can't read any disc (CD, DVD etc), and eventually comes up with H02 on the display. What a POS - a shame. It was only used quite rarely. Reset command (Hold Rewind, Open, and Pause till it says initialize, then power off then on) didn't fix it. Going back. Hope I can get a better replacement one.., like one made by another company.
