Panasonic DVD-RD32 DVD/CD Player

Sure, a DVD player priced this low is big news. But the real story is how Panasonic's slim, solidly built DVD-RV32 outperforms those similarly-priced mystery-brand players.

Watching DVDs, you can count on seeing a crystal-clear picture on every disc. The DVD-RV32's twin laser pickup flawlessly plays through the microscopic disc defects and layer changes that often cause budget players to stumble. If you're not a fan of widescreen movies, you can use the 4:3 TV Zoom feature to expand a letterbox movie to fill up more of a regular 4:3 TV screen. And the component video output delivers every bit of DVD's lifelike color and clarity (with compatible TVs).

For full DVD impact, connect this player's optical digital output to a compatible Dolby® Digital receiver for 5.1-channel surround sound. If you haven't put together a home theater yet, Panasonic's Advanced Virtual Surround Sound simulates a surround effect using just the pair of speakers in your TV or stereo system.

The high-resolution audio D/A converter will make your CDs sound great, and the DVD-RV32 also plays CD-Rs, CD-RWs, plus MP3 and WMA files burned to CD-R/RWs. How's that for disc-playing versatility! Available in black or silver.
