Among many other features, the DVD-RV31K offers MP3 playback, robust connectivity, and an advanced version of Panasonic's simulated surround sound with proprietary Bass Plus technology and a dedicated subwoofer output. This unit's state-of-the-art component-video outputs allow for digital video transmission to compatible video equipment. It also offers standard composite-video outputs and an S-video output. A built-in 27 MHz/10-bit digital-to-analog video converter maximizes picture quality from these outputs, while brightness, color, and contrast controls let you fine-tune picture quality.

If you're not quite ready for 5.1-channel audio but already have a powered subwoofer, you'll appreciate the versatility of this player's discrete subwoofer output. The DVD-RV31K's pair of analog-audio stereo outputs along with its subwoofer output simulate theatrical sound by setting up a two-channel-plus-bass output that sends all low-frequency information to your subwoofer. A built-in stabilizer and twin-laser pickup offers improved playability with the DVD-RV31K. Playback formats include DVD-video, Video CD, audio CD, MP3-encoded CD, CD-R, and CD-RW. (Please note, however, that MP3 playback may vary depending on the content and disc type used.)

It was even dropped on the floor by the cable installer, and it still works. Panasonic is the Toyota of electronics! ### ⭐⭐⭐ This is a good, not great DVD player. *by A***T on October 26, 2001* I bought this player after owning a Panasonic A-120 model which I really liked. I got the RV31K because it will play CDRs, CDRWs and discs encoded with MP3 files which the A-120 would not.I have rated this player only 3 stars for a couple reasons. First of all, even tho it will play MP3-encoded discs, I have found that it will not play all the tracks on some discs. I'm not sure why except that I heard that if the MP3 file isn't encoded at a 128K bit rate it won't play it. Not sure if this is true but I do know I have a disc with over 100 tracks and the RV31K only recognized 25 of them.The second reason I only rate the RV31K with 3 stars is that the build quality is very flimsy. The player is extremely light and doesn't have that solid "feel" to it. It doesn't have the nice large round insulator feet that I have come to expect on all consumer electronics items. It has 2 "fake" insulator feet on the front and none at all on the back.The drive itself is also relatively noisy when loading and unloading discs compared to the A-120 and other players I've looked at. A kind of high-pitched whine emanates from the player when loading/unloading discs. The A-120 was completely quiet.To its credit the player has several nice features and Panasonic improved the size and layout of the buttons on the remote compared to the tiny buttons that were on the A-120's remote.And I've not had any problems with the player thus far other than the MP3 problem, having owned it for about 5 months. I just wish Panasonic had not cut back on the build quality as much as they did. It feels more like a "budget" player, e.g. Apex than one from one of the biggest and I think, best consumer electronics companies in the world.But I'll probably hang onto it till affordable DVD recorders become available in the next couple years. ### ⭐ Error Code H02 *by J***K on June 4, 2002* I have had my unit for 4 months. Last night while my daughter and I were watching Harry Potter it stopped and despite every effort to start it all I could get was an error code H02. I called Panasonic and they told me the warrantee was for 90 days labor and 1 year parts and that I would have to send the unit in to get serviced at my own cost. Buyer beware. This is an unreliable machine. It may seem a good buy but for me it was just wasted money. Look for a better quality product. This is shoddy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/75497105-panasonic-dvd-rv31k-dvd-player-black](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/75497105-panasonic-dvd-rv31k-dvd-player-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
