Panasonic DVD-S25K Progressive Scan DVD Player , Black
A worthy buy !
I bought this during the Holiday season to make use of my spare time catching up with Movies of the last few years. I found the player has lived up to the Panasonic brand name. Great features at a good price. Great value ! I have the following observations about the product:<BR>1. Good quality picture output. Played scratched DVD with ease while others (Like Samsung DVD P231) were just not able to do that. In fact, I replaced my Samsung with the Panasonic S25.<BR>2. Ease of operation directly on the DVD Player is good. Not so on the remote.Some of the remote control commands are difficult to navigate. I would say, it needs getting used to.<BR>3. Audio output is not to my expectation. I would have to increase the volume atleast a couple of notches on my tv set in order to hear the dialogs clearly.<BR>4. Response time from the remote is a little delayed<BR>5. The player's noise is a little pronounced during very quiet scenes <BR>6. Plays multiple formats pretty well especially VCDs and CDRs. Have not tried the other formats.<br />Overall a big thumbs up for this model.
