Panasonic DVD-CV52 5-Disc DVD Player
One of the best DVD changers for non-HDTV people
I bought this DVD player a couple of weeks ago, and I have completely fallen in love with it.  Since I do not have an HDTV (and don't plan to buy one till the plasma tv prices fall to consumer level), progressive scan was not one of my requirements for a DVD player.  This player is packed with features - MP3 playback (random as well as sequential), WMA playback (random as well as sequential), DVD-R playback and many others.  The best thing about MP3 playback in this deck is the availability of 1 disc as well as 5-disc random playback of songs.  A very smart-looking tree comes up showing the directory structure in the MP3 CD-R.  You can program a playlist using this tree. <br />Perhaps the most important thing about a DVD player is the picture quality.  And this deck rocks in that department - crisp picture, good coloration and amazing level of detail.<br />There are several options for audio adjustment, so if you do not own a receiver yet (or one that takes in optical digital input) then you can customize your audio with a great deal of power. <br />Another important feature of this DVD player is its incredible on screen display.  The OSD appears just like a graphical window with icons on a computer.  When the movie is being played back, audio, subtitle and angle menus appear on the top portion of the screen when called, again as nicely designed windows. <br />All in all, I highly recommend this to anyone who doesn't care about progressive scan for now, because other than that, this deck has got it all.
