Panasonic
Samsung surround system
Apex (replaced with another Apex, it began not recognizing DVDR's or some HK disks)
3 DVD burners
4 DVD readers
Apex would usually read anything HK, had some trouble with the latest FX releases whereas the Panasonic didn't. Just got the Samsung so haven't had a chance to test it... it didn't like the newest FX problem disk though. Oh, neither does Sony... it hangs on the FX problem disk. I took several DVD's to check when we went shopping... all of them couldn't handle the FX disk with problems... (wouldn't access the last 3 episodes on a double layer disk) but they did do a better job on the other disk (Devilman Lady disk 2 AC) than my Panasonic... it wouldn't access the last 4 episodes on a disk, whereas all the new ones could access the last 3, but the 4th one you had to chapter skip to the episode... and they all played a DVDR just fine.
