Panasonic DVD-RP56 Progressive-Scan DVD Player

Product Description

It's a digital world. A world where sound surrounds you and pictures dazzle the imagination. It's a world where the excitement of the movies is captured and brought to life on a simple five-inch disc - the size of a CD. Welcome to the incredible world of DVD. As a leader in digital technology, Panasonic made possible and forever changed the face of home theatre. Panasonic has packed big-screen excitement into the world's smallest and lightest DVD player. Come and experience the ultimate in home theater entertainment.Panasonic DVD-RP56 DVD-Video/Video CD/CD player delivers progressive scanning (480p) output for true-to-film picture playback of DVD movie discs. For enhanced theatre experience it is provided with ABCD features, including Advanced Surround (V.S.S.), Bass Plus, Cinema Mode, and Dialogue Enhancer / One Touch Cinema Memory.

Amazon.com Product Description

Panasonic's DVD-RP56 DVD player uses 54 MHz 10-bit video digital-to-audio converters that process the video signal four times faster than the original 13.5 MHz rate. Combined with the DVD-RP56's progressive-scan output, the result is vivid, texturized image reproduction from your DVD discs. Additional video features include color, brightness, contrast and sharpness picture controls, as well as video black level control for dynamic color contrast. A component-video output is also included for optimal connection to compatible TVs.

High-speed, five-step smooth-motion scan lets you scan forward or reverse in five speeds, up to 100 times faster than the normal playback rate. Or use frame advance to move ahead just one frame at a time for a detailed look at the program. Enhanced video features include cinema mode, which improves the visibility of details in dark scenes and gives a more cinema-like luminance and color to the picture.

With twin-laser pickup, the Panasonic DVD-RP56 will also play your audio CD discs, including home-recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs with MP3 files. For an enhanced home-theater experience, use the digital-optical output to connect the DVD player to a Dolby Digital capable receiver. With DTS signals channeled through the digital output as well, the DVD-RP56 will playback both majoro formats of 5.1-channel audio for complete digital surround sound. Or if you have just two speakers, the V.S.S. mode will simulate five-channel surround sound. Enjoy other audio features like dialogue enhancer, which makes the dialogue more audible in certain scenes, and Bass Plus for an enhanced bass kick from your subwoofer.

Convenient features include disc stabilizer, which increases playability while reducing the chances of warping discs, chapter preview, onscreen menu icons, and a remote control with large cursor for simple menu navigation. A jog/shuttle dial is also provided on the front of the player, as are other controls for added access to DVD functions.

The Panasonic DVD-RP56 DVD player comes with a warranty of one year on parts and 90 days on labor.

Purchased RP56 about 3 years ago for $120. It has operated w/o issue until today. Got the H02 error like everyone else. The player was subjected to moderate use (2 DVDs per week average)so, I was expecting it to run a few more years. I will avoid Panasonic DVD players. I think LG is their parent company, so I will be cautious with that brand as well.

Panasonic - what a junk!. Don't touch with a 30 ft pole unless you want to pay more to repair stupid "H02" error than the cost of Panasonic. Stay away from Panasonic.

3 out of 5 stars Fine at first,, but now having issues.......2005-01-06

I recieved this DVD player in 12/2001 for a Christmas Gift. Everything has been mostly great up until 2 months ago. It was spectacular at playing DVDs and I also loved the MP3 playback capability and standard CD playback. For some reason, the player is now unable to play MP3 discs or standard CDs. It will play one or two songs and then seemingly get "hung up" at random places on the discs. Inserting a DVD cleaning disc into the unit resulted in an "HO5" error message, and these "HO" errors seem to be quite common here. While it will still play DVDs fine, I'm wondering if they are next on the list of non-playable items.
This player lasted just shy of 3 years. I'm thinking of getting the Panasonic 5 CD/DVD changer unit with extended warranty. I think Panasonic relies on the guy or gal that plays CDs and DVDs only a few times a year, rather than someone like me who will play 5-10 a week, depending. Overall I'm happy, as the sound and picture are great, but would recommended getting extended service on these Panasonic items.

2 out of 5 stars Same experience: mine broke after 2 yrs.......2004-04-07

The picture quality is excellent for its price class, and I liked the way fast-slow foward/reverse works. However, after 2 yrs mine died. It would not eject the DVD. I would hear a rattling noise from the motor when I powered on the player, but the tray wouldn't budge. I couldn't pull the tray out, it froze in position. I had to open the player to retreive the DVD.

My next DVD player will be non-Panasonic. I used to be a huge fan of Panasonic, but not anymore. A DVD player should last at least 5 years.

1 out of 5 stars DVD RP56 H02 ERROR.......2004-02-16

WITH LITTLE USE THIS UNIT WENT FROM PAUSE MODE TO STOP AND THEN BEGAN TO DISPLAY AN H02 ERROR WHENEVER A NEW DISC IS INSERTED.

VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH RESPONSE FROM PANASONIC.

WILL HAVE TO TRY ANOTHER BRAND...

          4 out of 5 stars Slick- I love the mini blue tooth concept.......2007-12-14

          This product works well and has a high cool factor with its tinyness. I have generally had success with it and do not typically get complaints from people I talk with.

          My complaints are that the voice recognition does not
          seem to work well when driving on the highway even with the windows closed. I guess the background noise is too high. It seems to work fine if you are driving slowly around town. It is also impossible to talk to someone outside in windy conditions. I do occassionally have it fall out from my ear, but it is easy to grab and put back. Finally, can we please get more bluetooth products that don't blink all the time! Let's face it folks the novelty is gone- I don't need to announce to the world that I have a bluetooth headset.

          Having said the above, I still rate the product highly and would recommend it. You have to know going into this that it is not going to perform at an ultrahigh level with the size being so tiny.

          4 out of 5 stars Decent headset.......2007-12-14

          To be fair, some of my comments may be more related to my phone (Samsung A900m on Sprint) and not this headset. I had a lot of difficulty using a Motorola and Plantronics headset on this phone with range and static. Pairing has always been easy, but static has been a huge issue.

          This was the first headset I found where the headset could actually be a few feet away from my phone and I could still hear everything clearly (and well as the other party hearing me in non-windy conditions.) The unit is small and easy to put in my pocket. Securing in the ear takes a few pushes and pulls, but it does stay secure. Sound quality isn't super rich but nevertheless clear. I haven't used the headset more than a few times a week, so I can't comment on the battery longevity as I am not a heavy user (and I can comfortable charge it once per week.)

          The charger box/case is convenient, although it would be nice if a USB charger cable was included (I've got so many devices nowadays to charge...).

          If you have a Samsung phone, this headset probably provides the best performance possible in this price range.

          3 out of 5 stars functioning okay...........2007-11-21

          seamless connection and clear voice catch with noise reduction. a little cumbersome button handle though... but works with all the samsung phone withougt any troubles... I'd recommend.

          4 out of 5 stars Samsung WEP200 Bluetooth Headset.......2007-11-15

          I like the Samsung WEP200 headset. It's small and light yet solid and durable. It's an in-ear model, which I like a lot better than over-ear. And it doesn't require an earlobe hook, which I find cumbersome and uncomfortable. It has a small charging station box that doubles as a carrying case; it's light and only a little bigger than a matchbox, making it easy to carry in your pocket. I have had headsets with better sound, but they were much bigger and much more expensive.

          Pros: Small, light, durable, in-ear, no ear hook, inexpensive, carrying case
          Cons: Sound quality is average.

          5 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for........2007-11-13

          This is very good. Fits perfeclt in the ear. Does not hinder with my earrings. Only negative is that the ear starts aching if I wear it for a long time.
