I am currently in mourning for my beloved Panasonic DVD player, struck down by the dreaded “HO7” error code, which a Google search reveals to be the result of a bad motor in need of either replacement or lubrication. Apparently, the HO7 error is a known problem common to Panasonic players. Otherwise, I would immediately buy another Panasonic. As it is, I will probably bribe my (far handier) sibling to take a shot at oiling the motor per the online instructions which I found.
But I digress.
**Please recommend a good basic progressive scan DVD player with a “zoom” feature on the remote which allows the viewer to make widescreen movies look (almost) like pan and scan movies. ** (My tv is not widescreen, but I have a lot of widescreen DVDs in my collection, and I like the freedom to view them in zoom mode.) The player does not have to be “upconverting” or include a recorder. I have my eye on a JVC model, but I can’t tell if it zooms.
All replies are welcome!
I’ll check back here tomorrow a.m., so please don’t be offended if I don’t reply for the next eight hours or so. Thanks so much for helping!
