Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's surprisingly affordable DVD-S27S DVD player handles just about any optical media format available, from standard DVD-Video to DVD-R, DVD-RAM, CD-R and CD-RW, MP3- and WMA-encoded audio CDs, and even JPEG picture discs. A handy feature called Quick Replay jumps back seven to 10 seconds in case you miss an important bit of action or dialogue, while high-resolution 24-bit/192 kHz audio processing and 10-bit/54 MHz video processing ensure vivid sound and picture from all compatible sources.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD-S27S 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 1/60 of a second for each pass. The result? Higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. S-video and standard composite-video outputs offer compatibility with nearly all televisions; use a video modulator (not included) if you have an older TV with only a threaded coaxial audio/video input.



Panasonic's 10-bit 4:4:4 Signal Processing converts recorded luminance and color difference signals from 8 to 10 bits and upsamples the color-signal data, delivering striking colors and a flat luminance signal response for high resolution and minimal picture noise.

The unit offers audio features like Dialogue Enhancer (which boosts the volume of the center channel during Dolby Digital 5.1-channel presentations) and a coaxial digital-audio output for channeling DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound to a surround-decoding audio/video receiver.

The player performs Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and fold-down to 2-channel for stereo listening (letting you enjoy the higher-quality DTS soundtracks even if you don't have a surround listening system), and Advanced Surround (V.S.S.) simulates a surround sound effect using only your front 2 speakers (left/right). Slow and fast audio playback lets you hear program sound even when you're scanning or watching in slow motion.

What's in the Box
DVD player, a remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

Product Description

With an emphasis on a new slim design and strengthened picture and sound quality, the new Panasonic DVD deck features multiple format playback of DVD Video, DVD-R1 and DVD-RAM, CD-R and CD-RW2, as well as MP33 and HighMAT - a new technology co-developed by Panasonic and Microsoft for sharing digital media between PCs and consumer electronic products. Blending astounding performance with a new, elegant design, Panasonic's new DVD line is engineered with a host of advanced features to deliver an unsurpassed home theater experience. The new Panasonic DVD decks feature Advanced Progressive Scan, resulting in an extended frequency response, reduction of background noise and enhancement of depth. The higher-density video signal brings a film-like quality to DVD images, extraordinarily close to the way they originally appeared in the cinema, with rich detail, incredible depth of field, and precise color reproduction. The high resolution picture is also free of motion artifacts. With the rising popularity of high definition televisions and their ability to accept and reproduce a progressively scanned DVD picture, Panasonic's progressive scan players are positioned to take full advantage of this growing format.The DVD-S27 DVD player features Microsoft Windows Media Audio (WMA) and JPEG playback. It includes a one-touch AV enhancer for optimum picture and sound quality.

5 out of 5 stars DVD.......2007-01-09

This has been a great DVD player. Our old one had problems playing rental DVD's but since we got this DVD we have had no problems even with DVD's that looked questionalbe wheather or not they would play. I would highly recommend this item.

4 out of 5 stars Functional, Good Quality, Basic DVD Player.......2005-12-18

Excellent quality picture, easy to use, easy setup, simple remote control.

One minor complaint - no built in screen saver for extended pauses.

5 out of 5 stars Neat Little Player.......2005-08-01

I bought this Unit for $78.00. I purchased it because I needed something to play my DVD-Ram disc that I record from my Toshiba DVD recorder. The picture from this unit is awesome. If you can use the componet hook-ups I highly recommened you do so. I have a Panasonic 5 disc changer and the remotes are interchangebale. This is a very easy unit to use. If you do use the component jacks and have a reciever that you run your sound to you will have to purchase a set of connectores to run from the player to the receiver as it doesn't come with these. That is the only negative I found. It is compatible with -Ram, -R/RW, and +R/Rw. Buy this unit and enjoy!

2 out of 5 stars great player until it died.......2005-05-20

Add me to the set of users who were delighted with the player's functionality... until its demise at the age of only 18 months, with the classic H07 error.
I used to hold the Panasonic brand in high regard, but it'll be a while before I buy their products again.

5 out of 5 stars Great value!.......2005-05-10

I purchased this DVD player brand new at Circuit City a couple of weeks ago. I'm partial to Panasonic and Technic products. I've always had good luck with them. Just to make sure, I did a search on Consumer Reports and they give this player an Excellent rating. First of all, I don't see why anyone would pay more than $100 for a DVD player. They've got these things down to science and the price should only continue to come down. With the S27 you definitely get your money's worth and then some. The unit and remote control are very easy to use. I've got it hooked up through a Technics receiver, Panasonic television and Bose Acoustimass 15 speakers. The picture and sound are crystal. Highly recommended!
