DVD-CV40 5-Disc DVD/VideoCD/CD Changer Front-loading design Retail Price: $300 (list price $350) |
|
||||
|
This
model is Panasonic's 5-disc DVD changer with a front-loading
design. As with other Panasonic models (e.g., DVD-RV30,
DVD-CV50), the picture quality and its scan search and slow-motion effects
are top notch. Its features include: Digital Cinema Mode for a
more cinema-like picture, Dialogue Enhancer to hear the dialogue channel
easier, and Advanced Virtual
Surround Sound. The Disc Exchange feature allows four discs to be
accessed while a fifth disc is playing. Unlike its 5-disc carousel
changer counterpart (Panasonic DVD-CV50), this model does not
have a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, component video outputs, and
glow-in-the dark remote control buttons. Read our full review of the similar Panasonic DVD-CV50.
Key Features: 5-speed Smooth Motion Scan & Slow, Cinema
Mode, Advanced Virtual Surround Sound, Dialog Enhancer, Disc Exchange, 10-bit video D/A converter, 96kHz/24-bit audio D/A
converter. |
