This is the first Panasonic HDMI DVD player that hubby bought. But it quit working on its own. He can’t make it work again so that’s why he bought another HDMI. We didn’t throw this one yet for hubby said, maybe it will still work. For the new one will not work with HDMI mode. It will work for AV1 mode. So maybe the reason is, it’s not the players that has problems. Maybe it’s the TV. But hubby is not sure yet. So right now, we are just using AV1 mode instead of HDMI mode. Sigh! HDMI mode is really nice. Anyway, this player is DVD-RAM/DVD-R/DVD-RW/+R/+RW Recording. It can play DIVx and others.
