Panasonic needs no introduction, since the company has now been churning out remarkable products for decades with amazing consistency. One aspect that has come to be associated with it, and that you will invariably notice, is the company’s products are amongst the cheapest in the market. Their fanatical price slicing policies are now legendary, yet they are typically undertaken without compromising on quality. Its latest launch, the Panasonic DVD-S47S, is no different and, in fact, is one of the least expensive progressive-scan DVD players to have hit the market. Available in two elegant colours, silver and black, it incorporates a number of interesting features. With its miniature size standing at a mere 2.06 inches tall, the player is endowed with more portability and mobility, which is especially useful for making it fit seamlessly into your home entertainment system.
The unit is well bestowed with a host of typical outputs, including component video, S-Video, composite video, and analogue audio, plus both types of digital audio output (optical and coaxial). This is actually somewhat remarkable, considering most budget players, like the Panasonic DVD-LS82EG, only have one digital audio output. Furthermore, it also features contemporary features like solid progressive-scan processing, which adds to the device’s overall coolness factor. The unit is fitted with the versatile HiMat file compatibility feature, which supposedly makes reading digital photo and music files more streamlined.
Disc compatibility is very good and the player plays virtually all formats available in the market, including DVD-Rs, -RWs, +Rs, +RWs, CD-R/RWs and enhanced CDs.
