Panasonic DVD-S55S Digital Remastering Progressive-Scan DVD , Silver
Our first DVD player...
I knew nothing about DVD's or players but I liked the features of this DVD player and I've had good luck with the Panasonic brand over the years. I haven't had any problems with it skipping - and I've only played children's DVD's from our library (I think that would be a good test of DVD's). This player also played CD's that I burned of music and also JPEG pictures just fine. I did need to buy a S-video cable to hook this up to the TV (not necessarily needed) and I get a better picture now (vs. when my tv was only linked thru the VCR). I have the DVD player hooked up to my television and also an old VCR connected too - no diagrams to guide you in the instructions, but I just hooked up the DVD player first, then figured where the VCR would plug into. Everything works great, haven't had any problems with it.<br />EDIT: to add that I mistakenly rented a \\"Wide-Screen\\" DVD from the video store. When I played the DVD on my regular tv I only got half a screen of the movie (argh!) - I then tested the \\"Zoom\\" button on the remote and voila! I got a full-screen of the movie! My mistake turned into no big deal with this player!
