Advantages: nice picture, good sound
Disadvantages: faulty laser in the north american machines.

...dvd player to stay with toshiba and to get a dvd player with an hdmi interface, at first I was in heaven, it had great picture great sound and was bought at a good price. Within a week I started noticing it taking a great deal longer to transfer over the overlay spot on a dvd. I took it back and acquired another, this one completely froze when it reached the point of dvds. I did some research and found out 80% of these machines in north america ... Read review

Advantages: Stylish, good performance, relatively cheap
Disadvantages: no dolby surround

This is a good, satisfactory dvd player such as you would want for a low price. It's good for the price that it is at so you shouldn't be expecting the world at this price. It's a solid, stylish player that i think does look very good indeed and has the usual list of playable formats e.g. DVD/DVD-R/DVD-RW**/DVD+R, etc. It also plays CDs, VCDs, SVCDs and i can't find fault with any of its functions - it is a very functionable little box. DivX® compatible, ...
...It has virtual surround and this works very well with a few speakers and a subwoofer. It has several functions for convenience that you would expect such as Photo + Music Mix (JPEG Slideshow with Music); advanced GUI; a disc navigator for easy browsing; last (position) memory: 5 (DVD)/1 (VCD); resume function, screen saver, auto power off. And i could go on and on listing all the functions available. Yet i'll leave it that this is a solid performer ... Read review

Advantages: Picture and sound quality, plays most file formats, huge array of options
Disadvantages: No HDMI or upscaling

...If that player is the Panasonic S-33, then the answer is yes. Barring the HD formats above and SACD, it will play just about any format you throw at it. Its DivX playback is probably one of the reason you are reading this. Of course, you can get most of these playback features with a cheapo, low-quality player, but read on... The DVD picture quality on a standard TV is, quite simply, stunning for a DVD player at any price. However, it lacks the ...
...S-53, so this player is perhaps not the first choice if you have an HD TV. But on my CRT telly, the picture is above broadcast quality in my view, with no visible compression artifacts or edge effects at all, even on fade-ins/outs where you would normally see a certain degree of posterisation/dithering with other players. The audio output is clean, sharp, and pretty noiseless; orchestral music is particularly well served here (Alien and Bladerunner ... Read review
