Panasonic DVD A115

The Panasonic DVD-A115 carries over the advanced performance features for the highest picture and sound quality. With the Quick Start mechanism, Chapter Preview, Dialogue Enhancer, Advanced Virtual Surround Sound, Hi-Speed Smooth Motion Scan (5 speeds up to 100x) and Dolby Digital/DTS outputs as standard features, the DVD-A115 is an exceptional value.The Chapter Preview feature conveniently refreshes your memory if you should miss part of a movie (if, for example, you've fallen asleep right in the middle of the story!). You can also scan forward or backward in up to 100 times normal speed, with no video distortion. When viewing a movie, you no longer have to strain to hear the dialogue in a noisy scene. The new Dialogue Enhancer feature boosts the volume of the center channel - where most of the principal dialogue emanates when playing a Dolby Digital 5.1 disc - by 6 dB. This feature greatly enhances the overall viewing experience. Quick Start allows picture to appear on screen in a matter of seconds. Further contributing to audio performance is Advanced Virtual Surround Sound (VSS). When active, viewers can enjoy a simulated 5.1 channel effect, downmixed from either a 5.1 channel or two-channel Dolby Digital soundtrack, from the stereo speakers of any home audio system. This feature is ideal for anyone who wants the superior video quality and film buff extras that DVD offers, but doesn't have the room or the budget for a full-blown surround sound system. Easy to Use On-Screen Menu Icons allow you to control a variety of player and disc settings via remote control.
