📀 Panasonic DVD-S500 Progressive Scan DVD Player (Black) - Enhanced Video/Audio Playback for Various DVD/CD Formats, USB Compatibility for Content Viewing Review

The only problems I have with this machine: 1) no counter. The only counter (on screen) shows what's left to see, but not the total time.

We came across this Panasonic by accident. It got good reviews and is perfect for us. Very easy controls, great performance and unlike most…

The Panasonic S500 DVD player with USB connection has been working properly for 18 months. My main use is to play music and audio files through the USB port through an A/V amp. Two months ago, USB media playback froze and neither the remote control worked nor the manual power button on the DVD player. I had to unplug the DVD player to get it working again. This happens with several different SanDisk USB sticks that have previously worked with this device. The DVD works perfectly, but that's not

I've started buying and watching a lot of DVDs as I'm in the process of giving up cable TV so wanted a second DVD player, just right for case one i died Now I watch DVDs about 6 hours a day. The one I had at the time was a Panasonic which I've had for about 7 years and knew it was getting old so I bought a cheap LG to replace as I have an LG TV that works great and I wanted one two different TVs. Brands of DVD players (I didn't want both DVD players to turn on when I wanted to turn on only…
