The Dialog Enhancer increases the center channel volume (relative to other channels), making movie dialog easier to hear and understand. Enjoy the digital world from Panasonic.

Amazon.com Product Description

Proving that big performance doesn't necessarily mean "big ticket," Panasonic's DVD-S55S DVD player offers nearly unparalleled format handling, from standard DVD-Video to audiophile-quality multichannel DVD-Audio, DVD-R, and DVD-RAM, CD-R and CD-RW, and even support for MP3, WMA, and JPEG CDs. You also get high-tech features like digital re-mastering, which infuses CD music playback with interpolated high-frequency harmonics that wouldn't otherwise be present, and HighMAT (High-Performance Media Access Technology), a technology developed by Panasonic and Microsoft to ensure digital media compatibility between PCs and consumer electronics.

The deck features a progressive-scan video processor that doubles the scan lines of an interlaced signal (from 480i to 480p) by scanning all 525 lines in 1/60 of a second for each pass. The higher-density video signal (designed for high-definition and HD-ready TVs) brings a film-like quality to DVD images. Other video enhancements include Cinema Mode (which diminishes glare and improves the visibility of details in dark scenes by automatically adjusting picture contrast), Depth Enhancer (which reduces image background noise), and Hi-Speed Smooth-Motion Scan (which enables fast-forward/reverse at up to 200 times normal speed, offering a quick way to access desired scenes).

DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound. Because the DVD-Audio signal is too high-resolution for the digital-to-analog converters in current surround receivers (and also as an anti-piracy measure), the DVD-S55S performs its own decoding of DVD-Audio signals, passing high-resolution analog, not digital, audio to a surround receiver for these special discs. But you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs to appreciate this feature.

The DVD-S55S also boasts audio features like Dialogue Enhancer (which boosts the volume of the center channel during Dolby Digital 5.1-channel presentations), and an optical digital-audio output for channeling DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound to a surround-decoding audio/video receiver (in case you aren't using the player's onboard decoder).

5 out of 5 stars RUNS PERFECT EVEN AFTER THREE YEARS!.......2006-10-10

I noticed some people had problems with error messages, etc. etc. etc. I can honestly say this dvd player has worked PERFECTLY since day one, and is still running strong. It has played HUNDREDS of movies and never once a problem on reading discs. I will upgrade to the S52K (upconverting model) next, and use this one as a backup until it dies!
VERY GOOD DVD PLAYER.

1 out of 5 stars Limited life.......2004-10-04

After 15 months of use the player no longer plays DVDs. It simply displays an error "H02" Many others have experienced the same problem and it costs roughly $100 to repair.

1 out of 5 stars mine also died after ~15 months.......2004-09-14

Aside from lack of shuffle and the DVD logo pointlessly being on the screen my default when CDs were played (forcing me to hit "Audio Only" quite often), this was a great DVD player.

However, as has been the case with other customers, my player simply stopped reading all discs (error code H02) after about fifteen months.

Too bad Panasonic decided to issue a "disposable" product like this!

5 out of 5 stars This is the best!!!.......2004-07-20

Ok, some people have had complaints about this product not performing, but I can seriously say that this is one of the best players on the market. Why, you ask? It has a function that no other player in it's price range has: position memory. Say you don't want to finish a dvd, just hit the button on the remote to save your spot. You can put in any other dvd you want, but when you put the disc with the saved spot, it recognizes the exact location where you previously had stopped including all the settings (dts, subtitles, etc). It plays smoothly, has great slow mo and fast forward, the remote is sturdy, and it has surround sound options when you use headphones through a receiver. I've had other players in the past, including Sony, and this one blows them all out of the water.

3 out of 5 stars great DVD player while it lasted.......2004-06-21

I purchased this DVD player to replace my top of the line (at that time Novb 2001) Sonyu DVD-0S570D which refused to play DVD+r disc and about %50 of my dvd collection. The Panasonic worked great for 14 months . 2 months past its warrenty. At 15 months it gave up the ghost and refused to play any dics at all. While it worked great , I have to give it low props for lasting 2 months past warrenty. My fisher VCR from 1990 still works ! !4yrs old ! This item was replaced by a Sony DVP-665ncp which is now a month old and working great with a 2 yr warrenty from best buy, I'd swore I'd never buy a Sony again as they let me down 3 times in the past decade .

    The MicroSD card is just a MicroSD card, but the USB adapter is the smallest I've ever seen. This is a sweet package. It also comes with a little rubber "sheath" to optionally hold the adapter and/or MicroSD card, and that can clip onto a keychain etc.

          Tele Vue 12mm Radian 1.25" Wide Angle Eyepiece with 60 Degree Field of View & Long Eye Relief.

          Product Description

          By limiting the field to 60 deg. (a Radian = 57.3 deg.) and establishing a uniform 20mm eye-relief, Tele Vue reworked the Nagler concept using the latest glass types to achieve optimum full field sharpness, freedom from distortion, freedom from ghosting (for critical planetary viewing) along with a unique adjustable eyeguard assembly which Tele Vue calls "Instadjust" Instadjust was developed from the need for proper eye position for non-eyeglass wearers. It is essential, since with Radian's long eye-relief, non-eyeglass wearers would easily tend to get too close to the eyepiece, resulting in vignetting the field, just as you would moving out from the exit pupil. The click-stop, Instadjust eyeguard permits fast, accurate positioning of the eye to the exit-pupil with maximum suppression of environmental stray light. Instadjust is topped off by a soft (for comfort and eyeglass protection) fold-down rubber eyeguard and protective cap. Usual Tele Vue features such as full multicoating, blackened lens edges, parfocalization, and grip-ring complement the Radian line.
