Amazon.com Product Description
The Panasonic DVD-RV20 DVD player offers advanced virtual surround sound (VSS) so that consumers who don't have the room or the budget for a full-blown home theater audio system can still enjoy superb audio. Advanced VSS creates a simulated surround sound effect, downmixed from either a 5.1-channel or 2- channel Dolby Digital soundtrack. The dialogue enhancement mode boosts the volume of the center channel when playing a Dolby Digital disc, so that the dialogue doesn't become drowned out by the left and right speakers. Other audio features include analog-audio outputs, as well as an optical digital-audio output, for both Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound.

Every Panasonic DVD player features high-speed, five-step, smooth-motion scan. This feature provides crystal-clear forward and reverse scan in five speeds. At the highest setting, the unit scans at 100 times normal speed. The Panasonic DVD-RV20 also offers icon-based onscreen programming, title/chapter preview (with marker function), still frame, a repeat play mode, and a quick-start mechanism, which begins playback in five or six seconds. A basic remote control is included. It also includes a warranty for one year on parts and 90 days on labor.
