Panasonic DVD-S97S Progressive Scan DVD Player Silver
Seems to trade video quality for sound ...
Firstly, I don't think the blue light is annoying.  In fact, I think it's kind of cool. <br /> <br />Also, the picture is VERY clear, but not noticably better than my old Panasonic 5 disc changer. <br /> <br />The only thing I REALLY don't like is the fact that if you use HDMI (which appears to be the only way it will up-convert the picture to 720p or 1080i), you only get two channels of sound.  I thought mine was broken until I read it in the manual.  The HDMI interface is capable of transmitting 8 channels of sound, so I'm not sure where this limitation is coming from. <br /> <br />I can, I think, use component video and get my 5.1 sound, but then I don't get the up-conversion to better video. <br /> <br />Not really sure this is worth it. :(
