Durable with excellen picture quality but scart socket required.
Old tech is sometimes better than new tech and it certainly is when it comes to the Panasonic DVD-S29.
It plays just about all disks (with the exception of blue ray obviosly) including music and all the video formats I needed. I think the best feature of older yet high end DVDs are summed up with 2 compelling features this has both -
1) Durability (thats why I got this they last).
2) The lens quality gives excellent picture quality.
No hdmi just a scart which actually is a plus because you still have that extra hdmi socket for other gadgets.
