Panasonic DVD-CP67 5 Disc Progressive Scan DVD Player
VCD features of Panasonic CP-67k
So far, this is my first DVD player.  I haven't really had a chance to play any DVD's on it and from the reviews, the DVD side looks good.  But from the VCD side of it, I think the video quality is not there.  Opposed to playing the VCD on my computer and outputting it to the TV via my VGA RCA/SVideo port, the VCD quality way surpasses the DVD player.  Also noticed that when playing VCD's, alot of functionality on the DVD player's menu does not seem to work even tho the manual says it should.  Also, cannot turn off that PBC mode when playing VCD's which may be the reason why alot of functions do not work in some menus.  The video quality of the regular VCD's seems to be zoomed in somewhat.  Video output to TV from PC, I can see the subtitles okay in the correct position, but when viewing video output from the DVD player, the subs are almost falling off the bottom of the screen.  Picture also looks blotchy at times.  I think it may have to do with the 4:3 pan and scan mode.  I cannot seem to get the 4:3 letterbox mode to work correctly as it is currently set to that so I can see the screen letterbox mode which is what it looks like when outputing from computer screen.  So I will give VCD quality playback a poor to average rating.  I am going to Fry's to see if they have the Panasonic CP85F model which from what I saw from Panasonic website, it has all the same basic features of the CP67k except that the CP85F has high speed smooth searching functions, Kodak Jpeg CD support, and the 4:3/16:9 zoom modes are not in fixed mode.  It is user zoom selectable.  Hope this would fix this weird VCD zoomed in appearance problem I am seeing with the CP76k model.  Retail price for the CP85f is cheaper than the CP67k so I will be swapping players soon if that is the case.
