Editorial Reviews :
The Panasonic DVD-RV32S DVD player plays DVD-Video, DVD-R, Video CD, CD, CD-R/RW, MP3, and WMA formatted media. It features A, B, C, D functions, which stand for Advanced Surround (V.S.S.), Bass Plus, Cinema Mode, and Dialogue Enhancer, for enhancing the home theater experience. Advanced Surround (V.S.S.) simulates a surround-sound effect using only the front two speakers, so you can enjoy Dolby Digital 5.1 channel discs without an elaborate home theater system. Additionally, the Bass Plus output enables a two-channel setup when you connect an optional subwoofer to your system, so you can get great, realistic home theater sound. Cinema Mode allows clear, bright colors and enhances the color in darker scenes by automatically adjusting picture contrast. The Dialogue Enhancer lets you hear clear dialogue from the center channel over other sound channels. All functions are on the front panel of the DVD player for easy access and control.
The DVD-RV32S also features Optical Digital Output for Dolby Digital (AC3) and DTS external decoder, Variable Zoom Function, Hi-Speed Smooth Scan (up to x200), a Progress Indicator, and Quick Replay, which allows you to jump back 7-10 seconds during playback. It includes S-Video, subwoofer, and video outputs, and comes with a standard remote control.
Buyer Reviews :
I've had this player for a week so far, but it seems to be an ideal replacement for my 4-year old RCA player that has begun to glitch on me more often.
It's not perfect, though, as some of my glitching DVDs also glitch on this DVD player, too, but not as severely. This just tells me that my DVDs themselves may have gone bad.
I once read that RCA players were simply rebadged Panasonic players. That statement might very well be true, as the menu system on the Panasonic, although more detailed with more options, seems almost identically laid out with my old RCA player. Of course, this player has many more options with both DTS and Dolby Digital output, along with component and S-Video video output, zoom in-out, and several other cool options.
One knock is the somewhat unintuitive remote control, which doesn't seem to be laid out ideally. Normally, you might find the rewind and fast-forward buttons on either side of the play button. Here, the FF and REW are on another row of buttons, and they're tiny little circular buttons, sized almost as if they're intended not to be used very much. The skip chapter FF and REW buttons are the same, unfortunately.
One other annoyance is a slightly slow load-up time for the DVD to start up. My old player loaded DVDs up within 2-3 seconds, while this player take 6-8 seconds to load up DVDs. Minor inconvenience, but not a major complaint.
I plan to run this player through its paces for the next 3 weeks to let me decide if it's worth keeping. So far, it's held up to dual-layer DVDs, seamless branching, animated menus, closed-captions (my previous JVC player failed this test), interactive Infinifilm-type DVDs, etc. Even scratched rentals seem to play fine on this player.
So far, I'm happy with this Panasonic player, which is superior in every way to my previous player, which is ideally what any person would want when buying the latest and greatest gizmo.
