Panasonic DVD-S58 1080p Up-Converting DVD Player, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Warning! The description for the DVD-s58 model seems to be pasted from the DVD-s54 model (discontinued), which despite the lower model number is actually a notch or two above this one. I bought the s58 with the understanding it would play AVI (Divx) encoded discs... it DOES NOT support Divx.
For what it is--a basic upconverting DVD player--the Panasonic DVD-s58 performs well, but did not suit my original purpose in purchasing it.

(More customer reviews)This DVD player works fine, good picture, easy to set up, plays region two DVDs, in short everything I was looking for in a cheap DVD player. it's not top of the line, but at the price it does what I purchased it for just fine.
One drawback that other reviewers didn't cover - the remote for the DVD player is very small. As a woman with fairly small hands, I tend to hit the wrong buttons at times because they are so close together, this could be more of a problem for someone with larger hands.
Another drawback, but one that I am more than willing to live with because I find it entertaining, would be the noise the DVD player makes when you first load a DVD. When I first heard the sound it reminded me of something I heard before - a distinct sound that I couldn't for the life of me place. It was driving me crazy trying to figure it out. A few days ago I asked my friend to listen to it, to see if she could place it. As soon as she heard it she started laughing and said "It's an angry Tribble". We put the old Star Trek episode with the Tribbles on, and sure enough, the sound the Tribble makes when it sees a Klingon is the same sound this DVD player makes when a DVD first loads. For that reason alone, I upped this review from three stars to four.
