Expert Review

Panasonic DVD-S77S DVD-Audio/Video player

Date Published: 1/9/08

The Panasonic DVD-S77S is a feature-packed DVD player that combines good audio and video performance with a very reasonable price. From the highest resolution DVD-Audio discs down to the lowliest digital audio files, the DVD-S77S can play them all. It is compatible with DVD-Video and DVD-Audio, along with DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, VCD, audio CD, and CD-R/RW, as well as MP3, WMA, and JPEG files stored on disc.

The DVD-S77S is a progressive scan player, providing 480p output that looks great when shown on a digital TV. Better yet, via its digital-to-digital HDMI connection, the DVD-S77S can up-convert 480p content to stunning 720p and 1,080i. The HDMI connection also transmits multichannel audio, including DVD-Audio. For non-HDMI setups, there is a five-channel surround output with a separate subwoofer output, as well as optical and coaxial digital outputs. The DVD-S77S also has progressive scan component video outputs, plus the standard S-video and composite video outputs.

Panasonic includes a wide range of convenience features in the DVD-S77S, such as high-speed smooth motion scan, a dialogue enhancer function, virtual surround, and a quick set-up function with on-screen navigation. Built-in decoding is provided for Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1. The Panasonic DVD-S77S is a great value that produces fine results.
