cheap brush motors (Rating: 1.00) Review : The Panasonic players work great when they work, good picture, most play DVD-R discs well too, the problem is the cheap spindle motors (the one that spins the disc).The HO2 error is the spindle motor not working, Panasonic has gone from a direct drive motor, which has nothing to wear out, in their early players to a cheap brush motor in the newer ones. DVDs spin too fast for a brush motor, the vibration from spinning the unbalanced discs gets dust from the magnets on the brushes and bearings causing premature failure, Panasonic should have known this. You can buy a new motor for about $30.00 if you are brave enough to try to replace it, not a very easy task, even if you do replace the motor it is still the same cheap brush motor subject to the same problems. Be sure to buy a DVD player with a direct drive motor, these aren't the only players with spindle motor problems. I read somewhere that Panasonic has gone back to direct drive motors, I've called and e-mailed them to see if that is true but haven't heard back from them yet. OK until HO7 hit (Rating: 1.00) Review : This is the second Panasonic DVD player I've had which suddenly died for no reason at about a year old. No more Panasonics for me. The only flaw is if you dont buy this player (Rating: 5.00) Review : First off I owned the earlier model RV-31,and like this one they are both perfect.Secound this may sound bad but before buying the rv-32 i took advantage of a 30 day return policy at a certain electronics store.I tried every player i could sony,toshiba,jvc,samsung the store got to know me well in the end it was the panasonic to win out hands down.The picture,the sound the durability,the easy to use on screen navigation is the best i have seen of any player. I use to work at an electronics store so i,ve seen them all.What most people dont mention in their reviews about dvd players is the display on the player itself.This is also another area where the panasonic tops its competition.It displays the chapter your on in the movie,the time,the type of disc your playing and you can dim the display level to your needs.This might sound small but all some other players (toshiba) display is the running time thats it.Small things like that add up.Another great thing about this player is the smooth fast forward and rewind it shuttles at 200x speed and it does it so fluid and smooth even at the highest speeds.My only beef is with the remote the buttons are way to small and positioned bad,but thats ok becouse you can go to panasonics website and order the rv-31 model remote every button works the same as the rv-32,exept this remote is the best remote of any and all dvd players nice big buttons were they should be and its only [money].i'll tell you again all the rv31 and rv32 remotes work the same way either remote can operate either player,just wanted to add that so if you do buy this player you can go to panasonics website and order the rv-31 remote and not worry if everythings gonna work with the rv-32 it only takes a few days to ship it to ya and BELIEVE me its worth it,and so is everything about the RV-32 panasonic dvd player buy it! H07 - My 2 cents (Rating: 1.00) Review : Add me to the list of H07 errors. Worked fine for around 17 months and then without any prior problems the H07 error appeared. After seeing the numerous complaints, I will NEVER get another one of these again. Excellent DVD player for the money (Rating: 5.00) Review : Just picked this DVD player up along with an Acoustic Research 6 foot S-Video Video + Audio (rca type) cable. This review is on the Panasonic RV32K (black). The black and silver versions are identical except for the color. Anywho, on to the review. This is my first real DVD player (had an X-Box before, but A. It didn't play VCDs, and B. it wouldnt play some regular DVDs... so I got this one). I must say, I am quite happy with it. I only had one single hiccup with this DVD player when playing Monsters Inc, and it was very slight. This DVD player has verrrry good picture quality, a decent remote (so-so). I don't know much about DVD players, but in a room full of DVD enthusiasts, as a starting DVD player, this was highly reccommended. I love it alot.
