Panasonic DVD-S53S/K Review and Prices

I've had this product for 2 months. So far I can't find anything to complain about. It plays store bought and my home recorded DVD's with no problems. The picture quality is flawless. If I needed another DVD player, I would buy this one again.

Product Specifications

The DVD-S53K features a 1080p up-conversion function that converts standard definition (720 x 480 pixels) images from DVD sources to high definition (1920 x 1080 pixels) images. These up-converted signals draw out the maximum performance of an HDMI-compatible 1080p HDTV, giving you vivid, sharp and exceptionally detailed HD resolution images. And unlike ordinary video up-converters that produce images with thicker edges and decreased sharpness, the HD Enhancer keeps the edges sharp while correcting other parts of the image to produce clear, crisp pictures with outstanding detail. EZ Sync HDAVI Control, which lets you operate all of your home theater components by pressing a single button, is now more convenient than ever. Panasonic models with EZ Sync HDAVI Control (HDAVI Control II) also feature the Seamless GUI (graphical user interface) function and the Surround Sound Optical Terminal Pass-Through function. Incredibly versatile and multi-format-friendly, this DVD player can play back just about any DVD or CD you can throw at it. Specifically, it can play back the following disc formats: DVD-Video, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R (including dual layer), DVD+R (including dual layer), DVD+RW, CD, CD-R/RW, WMA, MP3, JPEG, MPEG4 and DivX.
