Cheap Remanufactured Panasonic DVD-LX9 9-Inch Portable DVD Player with External Speaker System (Silver) (Electronics) Price

Adding to the fun are the external powered speakers that come with the unit, along with the docking cradle that keeps everything connected. Each 2-watt speaker delivers far better sound than a built-in speaker would provide, while the docking cradle offers such bonuses as a switchable component video output--which lets you connect the DVD player to a high-definition TV and enjoy the best possible picture--an S-video output, and a 5.1-channel audio output.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD-LX9 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs thanks to its progressive scan technology. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD player. To enjoy the progressive scan functionality, viewers will need to connect the DVD player to an HDTV through the docking cradle's component video output.

Designed to take full advantage of both audio and traditional video DVD formats, the DVD-LX9's highest-end sound derives from the immersive six-channel DVD-Audio music format. DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound in both multichannel and stereo. The DVD-LX9 performs its own decoding of DVD-Audio signals, passing high-resolution analog--not digital--audio to your surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs to appreciate this feature. Audio features also include DTS and Dolby Digital decoding with 5.1-channel analog- and digital-audio outputs and a Dialogue Enhancer for DVD movie viewing. Advanced Surround Sound (VSS), meanwhile, simulates surround effects from any two speakers or from headphones.

The video extras include a Cinema mode, which reduces the detrimental effects of screen glare from ambient light, rendering cinematic colors in pictures that are gentle on the eyes. Further, Cinema mode improves the visibility of details in dark scenes by automatically adjusting the picture contrast. The DVD-LX9 also offers high-speed, five-step Smooth Motion Scan, which provides crystal-clear fast forward and rewind. At the highest setting, the unit scans at an incredible 200 times faster than normal speed. The unit even includes a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot that's compatible with AAC, MP3, JPEG, MPEG4, or voice G.726 files.

Finally, the player is HighMAT compatible. High-Performance Media Access Technology is a standard co-developed by Panasonic and Microsoft to improve interoperability for digital media programming between PCs and electronics devices. HighMAT provides an efficient method for arranging digital photo, music, and video collections on recordable media.

The DVD-LX9 measures 9.13 by 1.21 by 6.83 inches (W x H x D), not including the stereo speakers or docking station, and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
