Lightweight and Quiet

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.Read full review...

Bought this in September hardly used, Firstly i found it would not pause it kept comming off pause,Also when putting a disc in the tray it was not smooth made a clonking sound, i lived with it but recently i put a disk in and it came up messed up, tried 3 different cleaners, then tried 3 more original discs i it just said error on disc , rubbish it was a brand new disc the other 2 it had trouble reading then picture came up messed up, I do not blame the seller but im amazed that a Panasonic player was faulty,Really shoddy work ill never waste anymore money buying ANY Panasonic from anyone, Yes it was still under garauntee hardly used, so had it for about 6 weeks did not want the hassle sending it back it just went in the bin,Anyone thinking about buying onbe of these check out a full test review 1stRead full review...

Easy to use with great picture qality

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.

Plays absolutely everything and anything

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.

Panasonic CD/DVD USB Player

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.

Good price R2 not multi region DVD player

I bought this Fairly compact DVD player to replace old LG one. It came with very small remote. Supposed to be Multi region dvd but isn’t so bear this in mind. Good price but not as well built as my old LG DVD player. Scart lead supplied was generic not Panasonic one. Came with instruction booklet and was easy to install. Not easy to register Manufacturers guarantee so far unsuccessful in doing that. So not go 12 month warranty. So far working well but only purchased few weeks ago.Read full review...

Panasonic DVD Player Multi Region

A really nice simple DVD Player from a great manufacture.
Its a pity that the unit has only a SCART Socket on the back and no HDMI socket but was able to get one from Wilcos.
It does not have a screen on the front but what can you get for just over £30............
I'm a great fan of Panasonic quality

Great little unit

Does everything you want giving a good clear picture. Only downside, hence the 4*, is that to enable the multi-region setting you need two Panasonic remote controls! Therefore I had to buy one but luckily you can get these (here on eBay) for a few quid.Read full review...

Great Player Allows Play-back From All Regions

This DVD player is everything you would expect from a brand like Panasonic but it's real strength lies in it's ability to play discs from all regions including USA Region 1. This means you can enjoy watching those rare films and TV series that are not available in Region 2.

The player itself was so easy to set up with my TV, with just a couple of cables to attach. The picture quality and the sound quality were both excellent too. For the price, I cannot recommend this DVD Player too highly. Great piece of kit and good value.
