Amazon.com Product Description
The Panasonic DVD-RV32K DVD player plays DVD-Video, DVD-R, Video CD, CD, CD-R/RW, MP3, and WMA formatted media. It features A, B, C, D functions, which stand for Advanced Surround (V.S.S.), Bass Plus, Cinema Mode, and Dialogue Enhancer, for enhancing the home theater experience. Advanced Surround (V.S.S.) simulates a surround-sound effect using only the front two speakers, so you can enjoy Dolby Digital 5.1 channel discs without an elaborate home theater system. Additionally, the Bass Plus output enables a two-channel setup when you connect an optional subwoofer to your system, so you can get great, realistic home theater sound. Cinema Mode allows clear, bright colors and enhances the color in darker scenes by automatically adjusting picture contrast. The Dialogue Enhancer lets you hear clear dialogue from the center channel over other sound channels. All functions are on the front panel of the DVD player for easy access and control.

The DVD-RV32K also features Optical Digital Output for Dolby Digital (AC3) and DTS external decoder, Variable Zoom Function, Hi-Speed Smooth Scan (up to x200), a Progress Indicator, and Quick Replay, which allows you to jump back 7-10 seconds during playback. It includes S-Video, subwoofer, and video outputs, and comes with a standard remote control.

Possible fix for H07.......2007-05-06

After four years, my RV32 recently gave the dreaded H07 error. This appears to be caused by a sticking spindle motor (the mechanism that spins the disc).

Those handy with a screw driver and spray lubricant may be able to breathe a few more weeks/months/years into the unit. Not for the faint of heart but if you are handy and careful, you may be rewarded:
1. On a good work surface, turn on the unit and hit eject.
2. FOR YOUR SAFETY: Unplug the unit (with tray open)
3. Remove the cover (7 screws: 4 sides, 3 back)
4. Remove the front panel and disc assembly (gently remove two-wired connector, top circuit board, etc. - six screws, two nylon clip posts, plastic clips and connectors on front panel). Be cautious and gentle on this part -- take your time to see how everything comes apart.
5. Spray a synthetic/PTFE lubricant away from the laser assembly towards the spindle motor shaft. This is the metal rod that spins the black circle that then spins the disk. WD40 could also be used, but may gum up more quickly (leading to H07 again). Only a VERY SMALL amount is required.
6. Reassemble unit. With cover completely reinstalled, plug unit in and cross your fingers.

A week after this repair my RV32 is still going strong. In a dusty/dirty environment this motor will likely stick sooner rather than later.

Impending DH07M!.......2007-04-28

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick....it will get you too! It lurks within. The dreaded H07 (after four years) finally struck my Panasonic down. Based on the dozens of messages below, there is no recourse. Thus, I'm taking a hammer to it this evening -- should be fun! If you own one, it's only a matter of time. If you just bought one -- take it back! Run to the store! Panasonic is laughing at you.

H07 error.......2007-01-14

After only two years of moderate use received the H07 error. (The spindle motor that spins the DVD does not work.) Searched online for fixes and contacted Panasonic. Online fixes didn't work and Panasonic support was awful! Essentially it is boat anchor. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. And, I would think twice about any/all Panasonic products.

Anything other than Panasonic.......2006-12-21

I have to say - the player worked good then I got the "HO7" error. I think my player lasted more than others...we just don't play many dvd's - but still, the fact you get this error and its doomed..does not make me happy. Move on and buy OTHER THAN PANASONIC, a well researched and quality player. Stay away from this one.

Still works great after almost 4 years.......2006-12-18

I've had this player for almost 4 years and its been great. Its really taken a beaten,its constantly in use and very rarely shut off. I don't know what happened to these other peoples players, but as long as you take care of it and allow proper venting it should be fine like most quality products. This is also a few yrs old now and been discontinued for some time so theres really no sense in complaining about it.
