Panasonic DVD-LA95 price range: $599.00
- Reviewed by: David Carnoy
- Reviewed on: 01/13/2002
The good: Sleek design; decent-sized screen; DVD-Audio support; MP3 and CD-R/RW playback.
The bad: Expensive; so-so battery life (without the use of optional external battery).
The bottom line: Although it has a steep price tag, the LA95 is one of the nicer portable DVD players on the market.

Good Product Awful Warranty
Pros: Does Everything Advertised
Cons: This a middling but annoying. My unit broke soon (within a month) after I got it. It just stopped tracking (and was not abused). You would think that replacement would be with a new unit but Panasonic apparently replaces with reconditioned products. T

Panasonic Quality, Great Picture
Pros: Good Picture Quality, Very Good Color, Panasonic Quality, Sleek Package.
Cons: Picture resolution could be higher, More control over aspect ratio, Featured "blue" LED backlight silly

Excellent small machine with good quality
Pros: Good sound, good picture, and with theadd-on battery pack, plenty of hours to watch a DVD or two. Good connectivity options, a quality product that though a bit on the pricey side is well worth the money.
Cons: It does need the extra battery pack to get a decent amount of playback time when not connected to the power. Otherwise it is hard to fault.

Large Screen, Good Picture, Great Sound!
Pros: 1. Feature Set. 2. AWESOME Sound! 3. I disagree with above comments about picture quality. I found it to be quite good compared to other models. I wonder if this varies from unit to unit. 4. Control Layout 5. Panasonic Quality!
Cons: Slight problem with headphone jack but nothing a little "jiggling" wouldn't fix.

Summary: Ive had mien for about half a year and it still works and looks great. Te player has everything the standard user would ever need to use and more. The blue dial in the middle makes the player way easier to use. The sound is better than the speakers on my TV. The player is great for everybody.

Summary: Generally a good unit to stick a dvd in and watch but I find the manual poorly written and the navigating menus difficult. The on screen icons are very poor quality and difficult to figure out what they are without looking in the manual. I do like the additional battery pack though; great for travelling by air and watching lots of movies. For listening to audio cd's I find it lacks some functions, like onscreen menu's for selecting tunes, random etc. A great unit for watching movies on the road and even hooking up to you TV at home to watch the dvds but not so good for music.

Summary: I recently purchased this item as a Christmas gift.I thought the look was very sleek and stylish.The video and audio features were quite good.Though the player has a very hefty price tag,it seemed that I got my money's worth.Unfourtunately a problem arose.When playing dvds everything seems to work out fine,but you notice that after some time your dvds develop subtle and then some major scratches that will affect picture quality.In my opinion for the kind of money panasonic is asking for this item,it should work like a dream.Too bad it doesn't.

Summary: I received my DVD-LA95 for Christmas 2002, as a gift. While I have a complete Home Theater set-up, I previously felt that the portable DVD players were too pricey. I am glad someone in the family felt it was worthwhile and gave me this wonderful gift. About a month ago I just purchased a Philips DVDR985 Recorder, which uses DVD+R and DVD+RW blanks on which to record favorites from my video & laser disc collection. To my surprise, both of these media types worked, without fail, on my new Panasonic DVD-LA95.Terrific machine & am happy a family member gave me this great gift.
