This is an exceptionally quiet region 1 DVD player. Lightweight and small it can fit almost anywhere and in any room. The only issues I had with it was initially the remote conflicted with another Panasonic item I have. I enquired with Panasonic and they told me to change the code on the remote for the other item, which I did and it worked so no longer a problem. One more thing - nothing appears in the window, no clock and no countdown of the disk which is playing which I found unusual compared to other players. However the countdown of the disk can be displayed at the top of the TV screen by using the remote. This player was very easy to connect and set up and apart from the couple of niggles mentioned above I am extremely happy with this player, one of the best I have ever owned.

I had a DVD recorder/player for years and having to replace or repair it I was left with the choice of an expensive new one of the cheaper alternative of a player. I have dozens of DVD films and holiday films and pictures on discs and my sky box records any programmes I want to watch so with a little research I found the Panasonic S500 DVD player on ebay at a very good price. I was expecting a straight forward run of the mill player but was pleasantly surprised at the quality and features of the S500. Firstly it is a multi region player and produces a clear crisp picture as well as freeze frame and frame advance, not something I was bothered about but it`s all part of the package. My holiday photographs come up very well with very accurate colour projection. I can`t praise the S500 enough I`m very happy with my purchase.Read full review

This is THE player to buy if like me your a lover of DVD's and have a large, mixed collection purchased from all over the world. This plays ANYTHING and you can't go wrong. Its a small sized slim player, easy to operate with only a few options to do so on the player itself and a nice remote that is also easy to buy again (if you like at least 2 remotes as I do) which is straightforward to use and to operate. The picture is clear and I've had 4 of these now (and bought 2 as presents for others) and never had any issues with any of them and to my knowledge the recipients of the 2 presents have never had issues either. If you want a multi region and you make sure when you purchase it clearly states that it is multi region (and which ones) you will not go wrong with this player. If you just want English, its great for that too. Mine also plays blu ray which was a very unexpected bonus although I own just 1 blu ray to be able to play it is very nice. This player also plays your own recordings and plays own recorded CD's as well and not many players would ever do that. Finally you know its a brand worth buying with the name Panasonic. Highly recommended, you need look no further. Read full review

I consider this player to be excellent in every way. From a practical point of view it is very, very easy to use, quality of video and sound is excellent and it looks really good at he side of the TV. I cannot think of anything bad to say about this equipment - it runs faultlessly. Based on my experience I can thoroughly recommend this product.
