◆ Sleek, slim, and stylish, these DVD players
are designed to integrate with Panasonic
home theater receivers , both functionally
and cosmetically. Plus, their slim design
makes them a perfect fit for any system.
◆ Playlist Playback lets you perform simple
non-linear video editing, such as
rearranging the order of scenes, skipping
over unwanted scenes, or copying
selections, to create custom playlists of
favorite scenes on a disc.
◆ Select from five video and audio playback
speeds: 0.8x, 0.9x, 1.0x, 1.2x or 1.4x normal
speed. The sound is smooth even with slow
or fast playback. You can use faster play-
back when scanning through the contents
of a disc and slower playback, when
istening to a foreign language, for example.

one cable from your DVD player to an HDMI-
compatible TV or home theater receiver.
