Panasonic DVD-S35K Ultra-Slim Progressive-Scan DVD Player (Black)

Product Description

Panasonic's vision of the digital future is driven by the needs and aspirations of its business customers and millions of consumers around the world who use its products every day. The company shares their dream to live a fuller life by providing ways of working smarter and enjoying the rewards of technological advances.

Amazon.com Product Description

Proving that big performance doesn't necessarily mean "big ticket," Panasonic's ultra-slim DVD-S35K DVD player handles standard DVD-Video, DVD-R and DVD-RAM, CD-R and CD-RW, MP3- and WMA-encoded CDs, and even JPEG picture discs. Blending astounding performance with an elegant design, the DVD-S35K is slimmer and sleeker than its predecessors. The deck features a progressive-scan video processor that doubles the scan lines of an interlaced signal (from 480i to 480p) by scanning all 525 lines in 1/60 of a second for each pass. The higher-density video signal (designed for high-definition and HD-ready TVs) brings a film-like quality to DVD images, extraordinarily close to the way they originally appeared in the cinema, with rich detail, incredible depth of field, and precise color reproduction. The high-resolution picture is also free of motion artifacts.

For optimum viewing enjoyment, the monitor-select function lets you choose the best connection option according to the type of display being used. Other video enhancements include Cinema Mode (which diminishes glare and improves the visibility of details in dark scenes by automatically adjusting picture contrast), Depth Enhancer (which reduces image background noise), and Hi-Speed Smooth-Motion Scan (which enables fast-forward/reverse at up to 200 times normal speed, offering a quick way to access desired scenes).

You'll also enjoy audio features like Bass Plus (which enhances bass when connecting the player with an optional subwoofer), Dialogue Enhancer (which boosts the volume of the center channel during Dolby Digital 5.1-channel presentations), and an optical digital-audio output for channeling DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound to a surround-decoding audio/video receiver.

2 out of 5 stars H02 Error.......2006-03-06

Do not buy a Panasonic DVD Player. Lasted 14 months, and then I got the dreaded H02 error.

1 out of 5 stars Do never buy panasonic DVD player........2006-01-06

Like most other people, my panasonic DVD player died on HO2 error too. I have used it only two years and I could never expect such short life span. After I searched about HO2 error on the google, I found that it is the most common error occuring in panasonic dvd players within two years. Further more, fixing cost is more than new one.($89.99 for labor cost + shiping and handling) When you buy DVD players, do never buy DVD players with Panasonic logo.

3 out of 5 stars Died last night after 15 months.......2005-11-11

Had this DVD player for about 15 months. Last night, I put in a DVD, and the menu came up for the movie. All of a sudden the machine shut off on it's own. I turned it back on, and as it tried to read the DVD, it shut off again. I did this several times, and even switched DVD movies. Every time, the machine shut itself off. When I took the DVD out of the tray, and left it empty, the machine would stay on and say "nodisc" of course. Put in another movie, off it went. I've trieed to unplug it for 30 minutes, blew in it, tried a cleaner disc...NOTHING.

Panasonic tells me I have to turn it in to an authorized dealer, but I told them forget it. I've already checked and it will cost more than a new one.

I was wondering if anyone ran into this problem?[...]. Thanks.

As for Panasonic, I think I'll buy a Sony tomorrow.

1 out of 5 stars Died on an HO2 error.......2005-07-08

My unit was manufactured in April 2003 (mine just died last night). Mine had average to below average usage. I am very dissapointed in this unit (and Panasonic's support). Who in their right mind is going to pay $100 to repair a 2 year old unit that only cost $89?
In my opinion, Panasonic chose a substandard part in this unit and will not make good on replacing it. A big thumbs down for me....

3 out of 5 stars H02 Error for me too.......2005-05-11

I too had the H02 error after about 18 months of flawless performance.

Since everyone is having the same problem at about the same time, is it reasonable to suspect engineered, PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE? Maybe just poor product.. Panasonic wouldn't make so much money if you didn't spend $100 every 1-2 years on another DVD player. Think about it..

Like a few others, however, I am again watching movies on my S35S after taking it apart, blowing in it a bit, fingering and jiggling the gears a bit, and putting it back together (we were going to throw it out anyway, why not play with it freely beforehand? Make sure to unplug it first!). This solved the problem, at least for the time being - may have to do it periodically from now on. I'm too poor to buy a new one every year, so I tinker.

The actual problem is that the spindle-motor stopped turning, thus the laser cannot read the initializing track of a disc to determine that a valid disc is indeed present. Hence, "H02"(Must be Pana-Geek-Speak for 'farked up'..), and finally "No disc."

To be accurate and honest, Panasonic should - instead of "H02" - have their DVD players display a scrolling marquee "P4n450n1k PWNES j00!1@!11one" because that's what they're doing to us with these cheap motors designed to fail at 1 to 1-1/2 years.

Upon opening and observation it was obvious that the spindle motor/flywheel thingy was unable to turn freely, too much friction to get started apparently, too "sluggish," it just simply hummed before disengaging and giving up. Perhaps it needs a bit of re-lubrication; just lightly touching the top of the spindle housing/cover (specifically, the white round thingy that resides above the disc) made it start spinning again.

3 stars for the great flawless performance for 18 months, minus 2 stars for the cheap/underpowered/etc. spindle-motor that goofs up at this time making me spend a couple of hours toying with it just to watch my movies. Luckily I have a PS2/dvd to hold me over for a while if this DVD player craps out for good. Maybe I should try TOSHIBA next time?

    5 out of 5 stars Floppy Helper.......2006-10-22

    For those who are in the need of extra storage, we often tend to use today CD burners, and storage from small hard drives. For those who have older computers, desktops or laptops, we need to find convient methods of coverting files from computer to computer. This external floppy disk drive is very convient and easy to connect, without the need of external power. This extrenal floppy disk drive is a great drive that you can use to store all of yor important files from your older computer, and transfer them into your newer model. It is inexpensive, convient, and easy to hookup. This is also much more essential for newer desktop and especially laptop computers that don't even have floppy disk drives. I really recommend this for anybody who needs a extra disk drive.

    1 out of 5 stars Does Not Work..........2007-04-29

    Purchased two Centrix external floppy drives. I returned both of them. There are NO installation instructions for Windows XP computers. My Windows XP computer was unable to locate the floppy drive, so I could not read files or save files. The floppy drive gave error message: disc needs to be formatted. However, the floppy disc in drive was already formatted with files on disc. I inserted 5 different floppy discs with the same error message. The second Centrix external floppy drive worked... but, there was an error message: cannot safely disconnect floppy drive because it is communicating with computer (no floppy disc in floppy drive & no open software programs). NO installation instructions for Windows XP. After looking at packaging and instructions, it appears to be a generic type of floppy drive.

    Amazon gave great service! They paid return postage and provided a pre-paid shipping label. The local postman will pickup the box to return it.
