Panasonic DVD-S25K Progressive Scan DVD Player , Black
What A Surprise!
I am sorry to say that I did not read the other reviews until after I had made the purchase. However, I would like to thank all the other reviewers. The afternoon I came home with this Dvd player I made the connections with all of your help. I was then expecting it to blow up like my last 2 units. The last was a PlayStation 2 which made it for about 18 months used about 50/50 Dvd player and for game play.      When I made it past the predicted 3 disk play with no audible internal noises. When it sounded much better than Sony's Toy. When the picture was so perfect. (Not a HD Tv)With its many picture modes from normal to dynamic, I finally relaxed and totally enjoyed this so far excellant players performance. It may go sooner than later, but for this priced right Dvd Panasonic player with most of the bells and whistles I would highly recommend you to give it a try.      When it blows up I will report on its life span. However, for the here and now what a nice suprise.     Update 3/25:     Ok group, I have used this player for just over 2 weeks now. It is the the most silent running I have owned. Even dual layered disk cause no changes with external noises. It is not with optical audio hook up. However, the coaxial connection does the 5.1 sound just as well though. The freeze frame stills are perfect. I have used it everyday with Cds and Dvd without one problem. I think is safe to continue my strong support of this unit.Try it, you will like this one.    Well Gang the DVR as blown up while recording from the hard drive to DVD. It is acting confused and making repetitive beeps and noises. I did not buy the extended warrenty and had to take it to a authorized repair shop. It has been there for 2 months and they claim they are waiting for a part.   MY ADVICE NOW: Get the extended warrenty to just exchange it at the store.
