I was very surprised when I unpacked the Panasonic Blu-ray Disc Player. It was smaller than pictured on the site but that's OK because we didn't have a lot of room in our entertainment center. It fits in well. The player works well. Does not skip even when the disc has some dust on it. After comparing this unit to others, I'm glad I picked Panasonic because I previously had an LG player and it stopped working with less than 5 years of moderate usage.I like that it ques up fast and finds the play area quickly. I found that this was well worth the cost.
