Questionable Quality

 

About 18 months ago (June 2000) I was in the market to buy a DVD player. I wanted to get a multi-disc player in order to be able to keep "current" disks in it to play without having to swap them in and out. The Panasonic C220 seemed like a good option...

Good feature set at (previously) competitive price

Flaky performance, refused to play certain DVDs, laser pickup broke down

Sony DVP-NS700P DVD Player -- Way Too Fragile of a Reader

 

Holds five discs, sound and picture quality is fine, remote is small but works well.

A bit pricey, but worth the expense for everything else.

A wonderful home theatre component - just don't pay full price...

 

This is the first DVD player that I've purchased, and I can't say that I'm disappointed in any way, shape or form. Especially because I paid half of what the list price is for this player. It was at a charity silent auction, and no one else wanted it,...

Great unit!

 

I initially bought this unit last summer, because it was an open-box model at Best buy. Having a DVD player that could stash multiple CDs and DVDs was a nice feature, and the price was good.

Great quality, operable without the remote.

Great player!

 

Great player!

I've really enjoyed this player, with only small quibbles: -it has a difficult time playing CD-R media -there are no time display choices (i.e. it only displays count up) -it sometimes seems stubborn in choising a disc for removal (conversely, the...

5 disc capacity, horrible remote

 

I purchased this CD changer because of its 5 disc capability. The unit supports Dolby Digital and DTS, but at this time, I'm don't have my room set up for 5.1 yet (I will be soon). It does have a "virtual" surround mode, which does an...

5 disc capability, excellent forward/reverse scanning

aweful remote

Good combination

 

Good combination

I already had a Panasonic DVD player and was very happy with it. The picture and sound quality both met my expectations. When I was looking for a second DVD player this one really stuck out for a few reasons. First I like the Panasonic product,...

Great DVD player with great features, but there's a catch.

 

Great DVD player with great features, but there's a catch.

I couldn't be happier with the features of this DVD player. The picture and sound quality are superb as well. The only major drawback I've found is that it doesn't play CD-R's that I've burned myself on my PC. I have a rather large CD collection,...

Product Specifications

The Panasonic DVD-C220 plays up to 5 DVDs, CDs, or Video CDs, for pure enjoyment in virtually any digital format. The changer's 5-Disc Rotary Carousel design allows you to change any of the 4 non-playing discs, without disturbing the movie you're watching, or the music you're listening to. The Front Panel LED conveniently displays the location of loaded discs, which disc is playing and the position of the disc tray when the drawer is open. The DVD-C220 also features a Quick Disc Rotation System, which lets you switch between discs at the touch of a button. This feature is ideal for watching multiple-disc movies. Dialogue Enhancer increases the center channel volume of a Dolby Digital 5/5.1-channel disc, making the dialogue easier to hear during loud scenes. Advanced Virtual Surround Sound creates the surround sound effect using only two front speakers with a wide range from left to right. Hi-Speed Smooth Motion Scan gives 5-Speed up to x100 thus providing crystal clear scan quality in both forward and reverse. Easy to Use On-Screen Menu Icons allow you to control a variety of player and disc settings via remote control. After resuming play of a DVD movie disc, Chapter Preview feature shows the first 3 seconds of each previously viewed chapter and proceeds with normal play once it reaches the position where you left off. 10-bit Video D/A Converter performs video signal processing at a fast rate for enhanced DVD picture quality. Still Picture Display (I/P/B) indicates on screen the type of still image (I, P, or B) being displayed; the I image is the best and should be used when making picture quality adjustments. Auto Switching Field/Frame Still reproduces still images in incredible detail regardless of source (film or video).
