Panasonic DVD-S511 - DVD Player with HDMI and 1080i Upscaling

top notch piece of kit, 2008-09-28
If you,re not ready to make the jump yet to blu ray then this is a fine compromise-simple to operate-set up with newly acquired panasonic l.c.d and 'Criminal Minds' into the wee small hours-BLISS.When blu ray comes down in price then fair enough but in the meantime...

I bought this in the hope of acheiving HD quality picture from my normal DVDs. Here is what I found:

The DVD player:
Light but seems well built. Looks very stylish. Very easy to set up and use. So much better than those £20 DVD players from Asda.

The picture:
I have mine hooked up to a 42" Samsung Plasma. The picture is fantastic, but don't be fooled by the claims, IT IS NOT QUITE HD QUALITY. But it is better than standard and in my opinion it is worth the extra money, especially if you have a big screen TV.

Overall, I highly recommend this product. And being a Sony, I expect it to last for a long time. Well worth the money!

I wasn't sure what to expect for 35 quid but having just invested in a 37 inch 1080p Toshiba I thought this was a cheap way to find out whether 1080p makes any difference before blowing £300 on a Blu-ray. I'm pleased to say that after some head-scratching on the set up process the Phoenix has turned out to be a cracking little machine.

The set up does take a bit of care. My HDMI lead appeared not to working intially and I could only get the player to work through SCART but a closer reading of the instructions showed that you have to get the machine to show 'STOP' on the front panel before you can select HDMI. You get to 'STOP' by pressing and holding the DVD stop button. With the HDMI lead connected, and pressing the HDMI selector on the remote I suddenly had a signal.

I wonder if this kind of detail might be behind one or two of the other reviews where people have been unable to get the player to communicate with the TV..?

Once the TV and the Phoenix were synced to 1080p after a bit more fiddling, both the picture quality and the sound detail were superb. For £35, this machine digs a terrific amount of detail out the disc and handles it extremely well.

The machine is compact and has a tidy appearance. Build quality is good but not great and I have had to warn my kids not to lean on the DVD drawer when it's exetended. The remote is cheap and cheerful but it does what a remote needs to do.

Altogether a decent little package in my view.
