Panasonic DVD Player DVD-S700 — 1080p HD Upscaling, Dolby Digital Audio (Black)

The Panasonic DVD-S700 is a compact DVD player that up-converts DVDs to full 1080p HD and delivers Dolby Digital audio with HDMI and USB playback.

If you still own DVDs and want sharper video plus clearer sound on a modern HDTV, the DVD-S700 brings classic discs closer to today’s picture standards. Its high-speed conversion circuitry performs 4x oversampling for progressive content and 8x for interlaced sources, producing higher resolution, reduced noise and smoother motion. You also get Dolby Digital decoding for richer audio and a USB port to play media files from memory devices.

How does the DVD-S700 improve DVD picture quality?

The player up-converts standard DVD resolution to 1080p by refining brightness signals at the pixel level and applying high-density conversion. This reduces visible artifacts and produces clearer edges and better detail on HDTV screens.

• Full-HD 1080p up-conversion for DVD video
• 4-times oversampling for progressive scan playback
• 8-times oversampling for interlaced scan sources
• High S/N ratio for less visual noise and improved clarity

What audio improvements can I expect with Dolby Digital?

Dolby Digital decoding provides more accurate channel separation and dynamic range than standard analog outputs, which makes movie soundtracks and music playback more immersive when connected to an AV receiver or soundbar.

• Dolby Digital support for multi-channel playback
• 90 dB audio signal-to-noise ratio for cleaner sound
• HDMI output to carry high-quality digital audio to receivers
• Works with both TV speakers and external audio systems

Which connections and media types are supported?

The DVD-S700 offers modern conveniences like HDMI for easy hookup to flat-screen TVs and a USB port for playing video and audio files from thumb drives. It’s designed to integrate with current home theater setups without fuss.

• HDMI output for 1080p video and digital audio
• USB port for playback from memory devices
• Compatible with virtually any standard DVD disc

Will it work with my HDTV and home audio system?

Yes—connect the player’s HDMI output to your HDTV for the up-converted picture and route audio through HDMI or an AV receiver to take advantage of Dolby Digital. It’s a plug-and-play solution for adding DVD playback to modern setups.

• Plug HDMI directly into most HDTVs for best picture
