Panasonic DVD-F87S 5-Disc Progressive Scan DVD Player
NO DVD-A MULTICHANNEL,  otherwise beautiful performance
The machine is well above average in terms of being an excellent progressive scan player.  However, I received a slap in the face when I realized that my dream DVD-Audio player of over a year infact does not support DVD-A multichannel.  This is mentioned only once in the manual as a miniscule note.  I had been racking my brain trying to figure out why I could easily play DVD-A stereo, but not multichannel.  I connected the unit via the \\"5.1\\" analog outs, which I now assume to be short for Dolby 5.1 only.  If you own one of these, take some solace in knowing that your DVD-A multichannel discs are probably not poorly authored.
