do not buy this unit . there be a problem with it over heating and cause a loud poping sound after a couple hour of use . I talk with Panasonic about this and they will not admit to the problem , however , you can find several other people that have have the same problem on the net .  when ask for replacement unit , I be tell that I would have to take it to my local repair center to have a tech look at the unit . this unit be still under warrenty and it be go to take several day for the unit to be repair . no sound or dvd while this take place . I will never buy another Panasonic unit again , to bad because this be the best unit I find on the market . Guess next time I 'll pay the extra money and get a Sony ! at least they care about they customer .
