The Panasonic CV40 lets you enjoy all your favorite movies in cinema quality. This five-DVD/CD changer features a 96kHz/24-bit audio DA converter and a high-speed scan of up to 100x normal playback. Cinema mode allows you to see the finer details in darker scenes so you won't miss any of the action. Finally, virtual surround sound simulates the surround sound experience with just two speakers.
1 El DVD es lo mas
Me parece que el DVD debe ser tomado como un nuevos sistema y no permite comparaci—n con la vida real.
2 Stacker is not the way to go.
I am an ardent Panasonic fan. All of my home electronics bear its name. However, this stacker dvd changer really is not a good product at all. Rather, it is perhaps better to say that it is the inherent flaw in this type of technology. The changer works just like the car cd changers and unfortunately sounded like one too. It is noisy and it is slow. One might find this unit acceptable if random music player is not a concern. If it is, then beware at the slow speed which this unit switch from disc to disc and the unbearable amount of noise it makes.
You will be happier with a carousel type changer.
3 Definitely worth the money, depending on what you want
Being at college, I have had the advantage of being able to compare and contrast various DVD players across campus. I have had the Panasonic DVD-CV40 5-Disc DVD-Video Changer for about two months now. To be completely honest, I find the sound and picture quality of this player to be as good as ANY model I have seen. In case if you are wondering, this comparison does include the Pioneer DV-434 DVD-Video Player as well as the Panasonic DVD-CV50. This is the primary reason I purchased it, because when viewed in strictly those terms, the picture is as sharp and the sound is as clear as any other model I have observed. Another huge advantage is the ease I had in using the Panasonic DVD-CV40 5-Disc DVD-Video Changer. I am not the brightest of individuals, but the instructions were very thorough and I had no problems whatsoever setting it up. I was also extremely impressed with the way in which the Panasonic DVD-CV40 5-Disc DVD-Video Changer played by CD's, DVD's, and VCD's. Some of them are pretty scratched up, but the system played it as if they were brand new. I want to stress how important this is because it allows you to really get your money's worth from the various movies and CD's you purchase and own. I haven't been able to figure out why, but a guy who lives across the hall has the Panasonic DVD-CV50, and the DVD-CV40 actually outshines the CV50 in this area - not only in a few movies, but also in a handful of CD's too. Perhaps this is being picky, but I feel that when one is about to make a huge purchase, they should be aware of as many great features as possible. As for the disadvantages, I have only really found one. The Panasonic DVD-CV40 does not play CD's that have been created from decoded MP3's (CD/R or CD/RW). If you don't have a CD burner, or don't have any burned CD's, this really isn't a problem. I dropped a star off its rating for this fact, however, because CD burners are becoming more and more popular. Anyway, if you are looking for a solid DVD, CD, and VCD player, then I recommend this machine more than any other I have seen. I want to repeat that the sound and picture is as just as good, if not better, than other more expensive models. Enjoy!
