User Reviews for Panasonic DVDLS55 Portable 7

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Great pic, great features while it worked, the perfect machine!

    Weaknesses: Customer Service. I tried to find out what was wrong and had the maintainence code that it listed. The Panasonic customer service center did not know what the problem was nor what the code meant.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this in Kabul Afghainstan while serving as a Soldier over there. It worked great at first but it eventually died. The customer service center was terrible!! They could not help, all they could say is out of warranty and don't know what that code means. None-the-less this soldier got taken for over $500. I called both the service centers after 5PM that night. Both repair shops were both greater than 60 miles from me and neither one had even an answering machine. Forget the name brand repair shops these were small, lo3cal stores which I question will know more than I about Code HO3....

    Strengths: wireless car adapter

    Weaknesses: swiveling screen

    Overall Evaluation: The dvd player is a great improvement over my previous one. A Magnavox I bought at Walmart. I really like the controler and all the options that it has. The swiveling screen is also an added bonus.
