Panasonic DVD-S25S
Product Rating  
Proving that big performance doesn't necessarily mean 'big ticket,' Panasonic's DVD-S25S DVD player handles standard DVD-Video, DVD-R, CD-R and CD-RW, MP3-encoded CDs, and even JPEG picture discs. A handy feature called Quick Replay jumps back seven to 10 seconds in case you miss an important bit of action or dialogue, while high-resolution 24-bit/192 kHz audio processing and 10-bit/54 MHz video processing ensure vivid sound and picture from all compatible sources. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of 'someday,' the DVD-S25S features a progressive-scan video processor that doubles the scan lines of an interlaced signal (from 480i to 480p) by scanning all 525 lines in 1/60 of a second for each pass. The result? Higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. A composite-video input offers compatibility with nearly all televisions; use a video modulator (not included) if you have an older TV with only a threaded coaxial audio/video input. The unit offers audio features like Dialogue Enhancer (which boosts the volume of the center channel during Dolby Digital 5.1-channel presentations) and a coaxial digital-audio output for channeling DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound to a surround-decoding audio/video receiver. Also included are Hi-Speed Smooth-Motion Scan (which enables fast-forward/reverse at up to 200 times normal speed, offering a quick way to access desired scenes), repeat play, random play, track programming, and resume play (which picks up right from the point where you stopped, current disc only).
Features of the Panasonic DVD-S25S include:
- Progressive Scan (480p) technology for high-resolution playback of DVD images
- Advanced Virtual Surround Sound creates a surround effect from only 2 speakers
- 54 MHz/10-bit video D/A converter
- Optical digital audio out (96Hz/24-bit) for DTS® and Dolby® digital surround sound
- Audio/JPEG navigation menu
- Switchable component video out (480p/480i)
- Dynamic range compression
- Cinema Mode (2 modes)
- Remote control

I purchased this dvd player mainly because I wanted something that could play DVD-R's and had some form of digital output. This player met both my expectations. It has a digital coaxil output, but I have played movies with both this player and a optical digital output and hear little to no difference in sound.
The progessive scan on a digital screen is also very impressive. There were some dvds that seemed to lose quality at some point but nothing major.
As for playing DVD-R's, I tested it with a few different types of recordings and had no problem playing them.
All in all, this is a great player for the price. Though I haven't had it for long. My parents own a Panasonic dvd player that is close to 5 years
old and they have had no problems at all with it.
