I own a Panasonic 5 disc progressive DVD player model cp-72. I have had this dvd player for a year and it is the best DVD player I ever bought. This player has played many DVDR and rw disc's thousands of cdr VCDs and a lot of MP3/WMA audio cds. Only had one problem with this player was trying to play some home made VCD made in India. The player wouldn't load the vcd do to the program used in India to make it.

My friend bought a sony DVD player around the same time I bought my panasonic, he has had a lot of problems playing vcds and DVDR disc as the sony player is really picky when it comes to playing CDR VCD's and DVDR disc's.

hope this helps!!

if you have a HDTV that has a DVI input than buy the new samsung dvd player that has the DVI out put. It gives 50% better picture quality than any other. Also it is progressive, capable for DTS, DD, MP3 and other stuff. Also (rana i think you will like what u am going to say next) if you have a interlaced dvd the dvd will de-interlace it and make it into a progressive dvd while you are watching the movie. the price is about $300.00 cdn From the bay(they had some kind of 20% off sale) or the regular price is 499.99 cdn

Panasonic made a range of very good dvd players with Faroudja in 2002. Most of them were MADE IN JAPAN.

If you are looking for 5 disc changer, if you can find it go with CP-72 or XP-50. They feature Faroudja DCDi.

EXCELLENT single disc players with Faroudja DCDi if you can find them:

Panasonic RP-82, RP-62( manufactured before OCT. 2002), XP-30. ETC

Denon 1600 -A little pricey but you will have better chances finding it.

Do not buy Panasonic DVD player. It has a bug and soon you will have "H02 Error". Once you have it its a garbage.

Also with technologies improving, dont buy expensive ones. Buy the one from Daewoo. It has progressive scan, dolby 5.1 decoder and supports NTSC and PAL and also work in both 110 and 220 Volts. The price varies between 125 to 175.

I hope you are talking from your own exprience. I own two Panny players (rp-62 and rp-82) and none of them have crapped out on me yet. They still give me the best PQ quality for the reasonable $$$ I paid for the players.
I did read about 'H02 ERROR' affecting some panny players, but that doesn't mean all of them are affected.


BTW, stay away from the new panasonic players because most of them have below average picture quality.

There are lots of de-interlacing programs. Nothing beats digitally obtained original '24 film frames per sec' using flags if avail in the encoding.

Next best is to obtain 24 film frames per sec based on 2-3 pattern (Film to NTSC), avail in what we call Pseudo-prog DVDs.

Field Averaged DVDs have 60 mixed up fields (Khichdi) made from 24 film frames. The best progressive signal you can get is 60 Khichdi fields per sec. This, I think is called De-Interlacing. So, de-interlacing doesn't work for Field Averaged DVDs. Such De-Interlacing is best suited for NTSC shot 60 individual pictures per sec material, like NTSC (or PAL @ 50 fields per sec) Camera shot music videos. De-interlacing will not work for those DVDs that have been Field Averaged (if) in the process of converting from PAL to NTSC or vice-versa.

The inexpensive progressive scan Philips DVD727 can be made region free with a simple combination of keypresses on the remote control. Be advised that with this player all remote control keypresses display an icon onscreen. If a DVD has multi-angle feature, an extremely annoying icon shows onscreen throughout the portion of the DVD where multi-angle is present. You press pause, and an annoying pause icon displays onscreen, just incase you can't tell from the frozen image that the player is in pause mode. Press fast forward and an icon tells you how fast (2x, 4x, 16x, etc) you are forwarding thru the movie. I cannot find any way to turn off the icon display. I suppose that these icons display onscreen because the display on the player itself is one line and too small to contain much more than chapter and time. The remote doesn't seem to have very good signal strength and you need to aim it right at the player. If I didn't want a cheap region free player, I would have returned the thing because of these quirks. But as a cheap region free player, it does just fine. The picture is okay, but I have a very lowend TV.
