Panasonic DVD-RV30 DVD Player

Pros: Brilliant Picture, Great Sound, awesome slow motion, easy to set up, very durable product
Cons: Takes up a lot of space, Need a dolby digital decoder for theater sound

When I first started looking at DVD's on the internet, I got several headaches. I looked and looked and looked and couldn't find the one I wanted. I compared several models that I liked and actually narrowed it down to under 10 great DVD players. In my ...

Pros: Good sound and image
Cons: Problem with home made VCD

You have read or heard many people say that Panasonic DVD-RV30S DVD Player is very good. I agree the sound and image quality is pretty good. It is very easy to hook up with you TV, VCR, or stereo system. But the remote control is not easy to use. I...

Pros: Build quality, ease of use.
Cons: Mushy buttons on remote. Only one type of digital-audio out.

The DVD-RV30S is the silver version of Panasonic's popular DVD-RV30 DVD player (black). These are both 2000 models, since replaced by the DVD-RV31S and DVD-RV31K (silver and black, respectively). With both the RV30 and the RV31, of course, there's...

Pros: Great picture and sound Panasonic quality Easy to use
Cons: Price should come down Wish I bought it in Silver!

I'm a big fan of Panasonic products. When I was in the market for a DVD player a year ago, I immediately looked to see what Panasonic had to offer. If I bought a DVD player and it lasted anywhere near as long as the Panasonic 1980's style vacuum...

Pros: Plays any disc, great sound and picture quality
Cons: Does not play CD-R or CD-RW, or MP3 CD's

I have owned this player for 6 months now. It has never had a problem on any DVD. I have rented many DVD's and some of them were quite scratched, and it has never skipped or missed a beat. Layer changes are quick and barely noticeable. The multiple...

Pros: Great stuff in this model I love the features
Cons: Price is still kind of high

This is the third DVD player I've ever owned and by far it is the best. I can't help reccomend the features on this model like the surround audio and the 5 in 1 DVD changer. I just cant say enough about how great it is. I've had it for about a month now...

Pros: Great machine, lots of features, optical output, wonderful sound
Cons: pricey for quality, does not play MP 3s, can't hook up a home theater system

The player itself is realley nice. I have this one and an RV 41 so I have something to compare it to. For the ultimate lowest price you could buy this marvel of Japanese technology, you are better off getting an RV 31 or an RV 41. It has no MP3 playback,...

Pros: Good DVD Player
Cons: Nothing important

The DVD-RV30 is an excellent DVD/CD player. DVDs look great! The blacks are very deep and colors are vivid on my Toshiba television. There are a few options on the Panasonic to fine tune the picture that I have never seen on players at this price point...

Pros: Good performance and features
Cons: Had a problem with remote, weird resume feature implementation

Pros: Nice price, ease of use, good features
Cons: Not a high end player, lacks compatibility with diverse formats

Last year I decided to make the plunge into the world of home theater, and when I started doing the research into components, I was a bit taken aback by the amount of choices in speakers, receivers, and in DVD players. I was starting from scratch but...

Pros: It's a Panasonic that turns on!
Cons: Everything after it actually turned on...

Ladies and Gent's, this is supposedly a DVD player! When I first broke open the box, I was surprised to find that Panasonic actually did make a DVD player. When I first plugged it in, I thought the thing was going to shoot sparks, due to a horrible...

Pros: Separate subwoofer input, availability at a low price
Cons: newer model has more features

This opinion is on the dvd-rv30 by pansonic. It is a discontinued model, but now you can pick it up for $150 or less if you shop around. It has some standard features and some extra ones, but it is definitely worth the price.

The best feature...

Pros: Good Price (Where I Bought It) Plays all DVD's Great Sound & Picture Quality
Cons: No Zoom Feature Remote Not Backlit

This is the first DVD player that I had ever owned and I was very impressed with many things. First the price, on Amazon.com i found it for $150 with free shipping. It was perfect because it could connect to my speakers and my tv without extra wires...

Pros: All the bells and whistles at an affordable price.
Cons: None!

This DVD player has all the features of many more expensive brands. I have owned this DVD player for 6 months now. I got it for Christmas'00. It is an integral part of my home theater system and is used virtually everyday. I was skeptical at first since...

Pros: Nothing
Cons: LOW quality, WILL break, HIGH price

I saw the last guy's bad opinion of this dvd player and listed a pro as "Panasonic name".
Sure, Panasonic is a big name, but I don't get why. Every thing I've bought of theirs has either broken completely, or partially or had bad quality.
