Panasonic DVD-S97S

Summary: Wonderful unconverted image... For what it is worth.. from a 480P image .. Compared with Toshiba unit 5980 it is an improvement in the jag ergs end ...only 2 beef’s
___ I found using 720P darkened my image some what ?? . This On a NEW Panasonic Plasma which can take 720P or 1080i.. I did not experience the same using the Toshiba .. At 720P
on the same Panasonic Plasma ..
___ NO disk eject / Open on the remote
Has wonderful features and adjustment in the menus .. adj all aspect of the video and audio .. including black level , gamma and allow isolating the out put of the video and or audio using HDMI.. allowing you to feed audio to a digital input of a receiver .. Rather than the Plasma set.
Until receivers start to show more with the HDMI interface ,, this is a great feature .
Attractive design and well built for today’s standers
Can set one user option on the DVD player in regards to video and audio besides the pre programmed that come on board
And allows for 3 user adjustments in regards to picture and audio combination grouped of these preprogrammed ..
Still best to Work and tweak your picture using a DVD disk like Joe Kane’s Digital Video Essentials and by pass the DVD adj .. but it is great to have both options and this DVD allows for it .
