DVD Player Features (DVD-S52/DVD-S32)
High Picture Quality
High Quality Sound
When a Panasonic DVD Player is connected to an HDMI compatible
display, DVD can be up-converted to 720p or 1080i for output. The
converted images have much higher resolution than the 576i
images of conventional component output. You get beautiful,
high-resolution images that are perfect for today's large-screen
HD flat panel displays.
HD Up-Conversion (DVD-S52)
When a source is being processed, the sound
characteristics of vacuum-tube amps is added into the
reconstructed music signal. According to the type of
music source, you can choose to have sound reproduction
with the warmth unique to vacuum-tube amps.
Sound Enhancement (DVD-S52/S32)
TV speakers typically suffer from inadequate low-range
sound performance. The H.Bass function helps
compensate for this by mixing low-frequency sound
components into the front right and left signals and by
taking advantage of a natural characteristic of the human
ear. H.Bass creates harmonic components of sounds that
are too low for the speakers to reproduce. The listener is
able to perceive the original sound from the harmonic
components. The result is a rich, dynamic TV sound that
actually exceeds the reproduction range of the TV
speakers.
H.Bass for TV (DVD-S52/S32)
Ordinary video up-converters produce images by uniformly
interpolating the original video signal. This produces images with
thicker edges and decreased sharpness. The HD Enhancer, on the
other hand, keeps the edges sharp while correcting other parts of
the image to produce razor-sharp pictures with outstanding detail.
Its effect is especially noticeable on a large screen.
HD Enhancer (DVD-S52)
This high-speed, high-precision circuit converts DVD video
signals using 4-times oversampling for progressive scan
playback and 8-times oversampling for interlace scan playback.
The high-density conversion process results in clear, beautiful
pictures with high resolution and high S/N ratio.

Night Sound Mode (DVD-S52/S32)
This mode reduces the volume of the loudest sounds in a movie, such as explosions,
without affecting dialogue. It solves the problem of hard-to-hear dialogue when the
volume is adjusted downward to accommodate the louder sounds

Because pixel interpolation is
uniform across the image,
contour regions widen and blur.
