This is what I was thinking. I've exclusively used Panasonic players
since I first started using DVDs(my first player was an A-101) and
they've always chugged through every rental I've thrown at them, with
ease. But then I hear stories of some other brands choking on little
finger print smudges the size of dimes. But then of course with VHS, you
had all kinds of other problems. Even the finest VCRs couldn't solve
problems like drop-outs, fucked up tracking, distortion, etc. that would
so often plague rental VHS... Both formats have their downsides as a
rental product, but my experience renting DVDs has still been the more
pleasant one.
