Panasonic DVD-RP91 DVD Player

Pros: Picture quality, looks, DVD-Audio, DD and DTS decoders, real progressive scan
Cons: Digital Re-mastering doesn't seem to improve sound of conventional CDs

Unfortunately, the Panasonic DVD-RP61, which was supposed to sell for less than $299 and play DVD-Audio and DVD-Video in real progressive scan with 2:3 pulldown and have both Dolby Digital and DTS decoders built-in was sacked.

Probably...

Pros: Prog-scan, DVD-Audio, manual scaling.
Cons: The manual scaling will only help those showing unusually-formatted discs on HDTVs.

Why should you spend $500 for the Panasonic DVD-RP91N?

Not for picture quality. You can get better picture quality with Panasonic's DVD-RP56, which sells for less than half as much.

Not for the DVD-Audio feature. Again,...

Pros: Automatic aspect scaling, DVD-A, MP3, DVD-RAM, CD Remastering mode, no chroma bug
Cons: Operating instructions too brief

The Panasonic RP-91N is a a new Progressive Scan player with the follwing features:

- automatic anamorphic resizing in Progressive Scan mode
(movies recorded in the old 1.33 format will be resized to fit the entire 16x9 HDTV screen...

Pros: This unit plays almost everything you would want a high end player to play.
Cons: I too though instructions are too brief.And remote is not backlit.

I had a few key requirements that my...

Pros: Excellent picture, plays DVD-A disks, DVD resume, nice menu system, remote, extra features
Cons: None that I have found.

I researched extensively, going through Denon, Kenwood Sovereign, Pioneer Elite and so forth, but what I found is that for the money (they were $700.00 when I found mine) this player was recommended over and above the other, more expensive, players. As...

Pros: Great picture, dvd audio and many others
Cons: No time count as to how much is left of the movie

I have owned my panny 91 for a year now and don't know if I have seen anything better. It has a great progressive scan and many features including dvd audio. The dvd audio is probably the most amazing thing as it sounds out of this world. It has a...

Pros: Expensive Looks, Huge array of Adjustments, best with CRT Interlaced TVs.
Cons: Remote is stiff to use.

Mine is the Gold version. I bought it new, but not when it came out. This player, I at first keept back due to cost, and did not use alot, but with time, it became an obvious choice for traditional CRT TVs. This is where it excels best. Now with ...

I have two DVD players. Both Panasonic. For MY money, the only brand to buy. This one is the King. It is a little pricey...but well worth the $$$$. Its worth looking around for one of these...find one at the right price, and break your elbow getting that money up on the table. You'll not regret it.
