Panasonic DVD-S77S

 

The craving for high-definition everything has become more and more prevalent. It's about time that Panasonic stepped into the market with a high definition DVD player. We have seen HD DVD players from Samsung, Toshiba, and NeuNeo but Panasonic has...

Worked great while it lasted

I bought this player about 15 months ago and I was very happy with the picture quality and features. But for the price I would have expected it to last longer than the $99 throw away units. I have other video components over 5 years old and still...

13 months = DEAD

It was great while it worked during the warranty period. Too bad about 3 weeks afterward, it stopped playing DVD's. Think I'll spend another $250 on a "top of the line" DVD player from Panasonic? Oh no, I won't! If this had been a $50-$100...

Recent purchase, bugs fixed, ecellent player under $200

Bought this at J&R two months ago (on sale at $169) good player, even if only upconversion is only through the HDMI (and all my sets are DVI-D) and I had to hunt to find adapters that would be small enough to fit the space on the back of my tv's...

Freezes during playback. Unwatchable. Worthless player.

 

Freezes during playback. Unwatchable. Worthless player.

Works great for about 1 hour of playback. After that the video freezes and the player will not play anymore. I thought it was overheating so I ventilated it well and even applied dry ice to it with no luck. I upgraded to the latest firmware 3/15/06...

I hope I'm smart enough to use it!

This player has more bells and whistles than my desktop PC. If you want to customize your playback, this is the unit for you. I have mine hooked to the HDMI and haven't tried any other connection for comparison. Sleek unit, remote is OK. Only 3-4...

Very happy with the Panasonic DVD-S77S DVD Player

I am very happy with the picture quality and sound quality of the DVD-S77S. I have used the player to watch movies and listen to CDs, and I feel it's a great product. The features are rich, and the connectivity choices are great. The player is easy...

Had the same U70-2 problem as cardinal pilot

In a nutshell, this player does an outstanding job doing what you want it to. I just wanted to add, however, that I had the same U70-2 problem as cardinal pilot mentioned below. Tech support said it was a "Macro-Blocking" problem and sent me a...

Worthwhile device

I purchased mine in December 05 after carefully reading all the reviews here and a recommendation from Consumer Reports. The comments about the manual are spot-on but easily overcome. The only issue I have had are two failures coded on the display as...
