very happy uses a low amount of power both on and standby.
Plays all my cd's and dvd's and has better video sigal to noise and audio s/n than any of the cheaper radio shack brands and others etc. Plays more media than others DVD+-R&RW CD-R/W plus mp3&wma and highmat2 files. this is a superior low price unit.this was my pick over sony, jvc, pioneer and samsung i looked into them all carefully. great picture and sound make this a best buy

This is the best dvd player I've ever had..and I've owned quite a few. I recently bought a 3 disc DVD collection of "Kolchak the Nightstalker". These turned out to be dual sided discs of dubious quality. They exhibited major warpage, and numerous flaws. My Magnavox DVD player was freezing up trying to play them. My Toshiba did marginally better, with only an occasional "freeze". My Panasonic S29 played these discs with no problem at all, and a crisper image to boot. It's true that this Panasonic will play anything you care to feed it. It might be a "low end" player, but it performs better than anything I've seen yet..at any end.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Complaint, August 28, 2005

Consumer Reports ranks Panasonic as the most highly rated manufacturer of DVD players in terms of durability and performance barely easing out Sony. The Panasonic S29 player works beautifully and provides an exceptionally sharp picture. It is a slim unit that uses a low amount of power (1W) and is able to read digital media formats such as DVD-RAM, DVD-Video, DVD-R/DVD-RW, +R/+RW, VCD, and CD-R/RW recorded with the following formats:CD, WMA, MP3, JPEG and VCD. My only complaint with this unit is the disc tray. The indention in the tray used to situate the disc is a complete circle with no spaces on each side like in previous models. Instead of being able to lift the disc off the tray by the edges with two fingers you now have to press your finger through the hole in the middle of the disc and lift. And hope that the disc doesn't come loose off your finger. Why change something that already worked well? I'm not sure how scratchproof DVDs can be, but the disc tray on this unit makes me hope that they're as durable as Panasonic's player are. Other than this quibble, Panasonic has done an excellent job.
