S53K - Excellent Product and well worth the cost,

This review is from: Panasonic DVD-S53K Up-Converting 1080p DVD Player Black (Electronics)
This Panasonic player replaced another Panasonic DVD player that was lost to an electrical storm - and although I could have still found the older model, reviews led me to select this unit. Not only is it 1/2 the height of the older unit, but eliminated many of the front mounted controls that were rarely used and cluttered the face of the player. In the month of use - very heavy use - it performs flawlessly. The same features such as quick replay and variable scan (forward and back) that I had on the other unit were one reason to stay with this Panasonic series. In addition, this newer unit supports 90% of the types of CD's and DVD's you will encounter whether commercial or user created. I would recommend the unit to anyone.

Mediocre Player,

This review is from: Panasonic DVD-S53K Up-Converting 1080p DVD Player Black (Electronics)
I have both an S53 and a Philips 5982 running to a 1080P Philips 42" 7422.
The S53 is inferior in picture quality. It is blurrier, loses detail, loses color accuracy, and loses grey shadows. The Philips 5982 outperformed it in every regard to the picture quality. Audiowise, the Panny has more options for audio with Dialogue Enhancer, but those filters seems to lose some of the fine details. You are better off messing with your TV audio or Stereo audio than using any Panny filters. Colorwise, I could not really change any settings with the S53. The Philips allowed for RGB values to be altered which I was really hoping for on the S53. I could alter the screen settings like Cinema1, Cinema2, Multimedia, etc and that was it. There is an HD enchancer that makes the image sharper...it made it too sharp to my eyes and I leave it off. The only thing I liked was the remote and menu. Much better than Philips and more functions. It's sitting in my bedroom with my 26" bedroom 720P HDTV, so I can't complain too much about it. My set accepts the 1080i signal and it looks good on a small screen. I would not recommend it for a large screen in the living room.

This review is from: Panasonic DVD-S53K Up-Converting 1080p DVD Player Black (Electronics)
I ordered this unit based on Panasonic's reliability and quality.
Indeed it has come up to a very high standard. Great picture with DVD's using HDMI connection. Very simple hook up. Outstanding sound from CD's. Reasonably priced. Doesn't come with HDMI cable.
