Panasonic DVD-F85S 5-Disc Progressive Scan DVD Player (Silver)
Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Turn your entertainment room into a multidisc, multiformat paradise with Panasonic's super-slim DVD-F85S five-disc DVD changer. The player offers incredible format handling, including standard DVD-Video to DVD-R and DVD-RAM, CD-R and CD-RW, support for MP3 and WMA CDs, and even high-resolution DVD-Audio. You also get cutting-edge features like digital remastering, which infuses CD music playback with interpolated high-frequency harmonics that wouldn't otherwise be present, and HighMAT (High-Performance Media Access Technology), a technology developed by Panasonic and Microsoft to ensure digital media compatibility between PCs and consumer electronics.
The deck features a progressive-scan video processor that doubles the scan lines of an interlaced signal (from 480i to 480p) by scanning all 525 lines in 1/60th of a second for each pass. The higher-density video signal (designed for high-definition and HD-ready TVs) brings a film-like quality to DVD images. Other video enhancements include Cinema Mode (which diminishes glare and improves the visibility of details in dark scenes by automatically adjusting picture contrast), Depth Enhancer (which reduces image background noise), and Hi-Speed Smooth-Motion Scan (which enables fast-forward/reverse at up to 200 times normal speed, offering a quick way to access desired scenes).
DVD-Audio offers super-high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound. DVD-Audio discs provide multichannel and stereo sound, incredible storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs. As an antipiracy measure, the DVD-F85S performs its own decoding of DVD-Audio signals, passing high-resolution analog--not digital--audio to your surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs to appreciate this feature. To simplify connections, the unit also decodes Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround, so--whether you're using DVD-Audio or not--you'll need only one connection type (analog or digital) between the player and your AV receiver.
A feature called 4:4:4 signal processing converts recorded luminance and color-difference signals from 8 to 10 bits and up-samples color signal data, all with the aim of rendering vivid colors, flat luminance signal response, and minimal picture noise. The Direct Navigator and play-list playback features let you access navigation menus and custom play lists on DVD-RAM discs recorded on Panasonic DVD recorders.
The DVD-F85S also boasts features like MPEG digital noise reduction (mosquito/block/3D), depth enhancer, audio channel balance control, audio delay time control, audio-only function (video circuit off), picture mode selection, slow and fast audio playback, and Dialogue Enhancer (which boosts the volume of the center channel during Dolby Digital 5.1-channel presentations).
What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, and stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.
