Superb video quality, By
This review is from: Panasonic DVD-S97S Progressive Scan DVD Player (Silver) (Electronics)
There are so many progressive-scan DVD players out there nowadays -- with some costing less than $35 -- one must wonder what's the point of spending more than $100 on a DVD player. The answer, not surprisingly, is you get what you pay for.In the case of the Panasonic DVD-S97 DVD player, you are getting every penny's worth, if your goal is to get the best possible picture quality out of DVD movies. Of course, if you are still using a standard analog TV, you won't see the kind of high quality we HDTV owners do. To get the max out of the player, you need an HDMI-capable HDTV monitor and need an HDMI cable. The all-digital connection does two things: 1) transmit the video (and audio) signal in digital, and 2) allows the Panasonic's upconverter to work. The upconverter basically converts the NTSC resolution on today's DVDs to HDTV resolution. It's pretty much like digital zoom on your digital camera. Does it work? Surprisingly, it does in many cases. At least... Read more

Everything I'd hoped for, By ReubenR (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic DVD-S97S Progressive Scan DVD Player (Silver) (Electronics)
I agree with the previous reviewer. This unit was well worth the wait! If you have a Bravo D1, this stellar unit will make your V, Inc. toy look like the piece of garbage it is! The Panasonic's loader is fast and reliable (unlike the Bravo DVD players), the remote control is responsive and accurate (unlike the Bravo DVD players), and the picture is wonderful. Lots and lots of features, including "remember where I am" for up to FIVE DVDs! (One note about this, though - if you just press stop and turn off your unit, the DVD player doesn't remember where you left off. You have to manually store your place in one of the five allotted memory spots.) The HDMI is great, which I use with a DVI adapter since my Sony TV doesn't have HDMI. I recommend reading the manual (as difficult as Panasonic makes it!) to find all the excellent features this unit has to offer. Highly recommended! Throw your V, Inc. Bravo DVD player in the trash and get this Panasonic S97 Silver DVD player!

Great performance for a great price., By
This review is from: Panasonic DVD-S97S Progressive Scan DVD Player (Silver) (Electronics)
To anyone interested in this product, I received my Panasonic S97S DVD player a little over a week ago in anticipation of my new HDTV purchase. I was lined up to buy the Sony KDP-57WS655 RP CRT HDTV and wanted a DVD player with HDMI upconversion. From all the research I did, many reviews pointed positively to this item so I took a chance and purchased online from Vann's. For $270 with shipping inc, how could I lose? The player arrived a day early and well packaged. Kudos to Vanns. My TV arrived 3 days later and the hookup was complete in less than 5 minutes with the HDMI connection. I was impressed with the appearance of the player. Felt solid and looked very sharp out of the box. The player is lightening fast to any prompts from either the included remote or the front panel controls. I also had a Sharp DVD recorder hooked up to the TV via component cables with progressive scan output. The Sharp player could not touch this Panasonic. The quick setup feature was a great way to get up...
