Which DVD Player brand is the most durable?

Question

I have gone through 5 DVD players. They just do not last. I decided never to buy the cheap no name DVD players anymore, but now the more expensive name brand players are breaking also. Looking for a DVD player brand that people have found to be bullet proof.

Answer 1

I like Panasonic and Pioneer. Denon is good too. Most of the big name brands will be good.

Denon has great electronics inside. They use excellent Digital to analog converter chips and video and audio processor circuitry.

Denon actually uses or at least has used pioneer mechanicals(also known as transport mechanisms) in their players. McIntosh audio a very high end manufacturer of audio components (not to be confused with Apple) has also used Pioneer transport mechanisms in their cd and dvd players.

I have 2 Panasonic players, one is 7 years old. I still use it on my old tv it works great. The movement of the tray is nice, quiet and smooth. My Toshiba is not as nice it seems a bit clunky.

Answer 2

Toshiba. If you break a Toshiba, there's something wrong with you...

Answer 3

I have a samsung 5 disk player. Bought it when i first got married about 8 years ago.  I have 2 sons who use it alot (i bought a new one and the 5 disc is in the boy's room) and all the beating it takes from them, it still works perfectly.  Untill I get a bad one I'm buying samsung.

Answer 4

The repair division sees very few high end players from any of the Japanese manufacturers, most notably, Panasonic. If reliability was my number one concern, I would look for something in the $200+ range from the Panasonic line.

If you have plenty of money to spend, Krell is about the nicest I've seen, and bulletproof.

Answer 5

Panasonic, I have had it for more than 4 years and runs as good as any.

Answer 6

i think in dvd player brand for me lg is good but its depend upon which feature u looking for. i would rather choose blue-ray disk player instead of dvd player because dvd players are things of the past.
