Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have a large selection of Region 1 (USA) & Region 2 (Europe) DVD's being a British Expat. My previous Multi Region model (a 2006 LG model) finally died last week, so I looked at the Panasonic to compliment my 2011 Panasonic DMP-BDT210 Blu-Ray player, as that can't play the old region 2 dvd's. Out of the box the player feels 'cheap', the drawer mechanism is very flimsy and the unit feels 'light'. I understand this isn't a $150 blu-ray player, but it doesn't compare remotely in comparison to the quality of the Blu-Ray player. The real problem was that it didn't do as sold, first DVD in (a region 2 Disc - 'The Italian Job') played well, great. The second disc I put in was a kids region 1 - 'Carebear' movie that came up with an incompatible region warning. Grrrrrrrrrrrr! I broke out my folders of discs, and found that all my region 2 discs seemed to play OK, but about 30% of the Region 1 discs, threw up an incompatible region warning! These weren't damaged, and not 'weird or specialized' discs. Discs from 'My name is earl', and a number of other major movies would not play. Disappointing.
