Amazon.com Product Description

Panasonic's DVD-LA95 offers the versatility of a portable DVD player alongside the performance of a sophisticated home-theater component--and you can use it as both. The player handles DVD-Video, high-resolution DVD-Audio, and DVD-RAM playback--as well as standard and recordable CDs, including MP3-encoded discs. Its slender chassis holds a massive, 9-inch widescreen (16:9) LCD screen and a built-in rechargeable battery (good for about 2.5 hours between charges).

Designed to take full advantage of both audio and traditional video DVD formats, the DVD-LA95 delivers the immersive six-channel surround sound of the DVD-Audio music format. DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound, in both multichannel and stereo. Because the DVD-Audio signal is too high-resolution for the digital converters in current surround receivers (and also as an anti-piracy measure), the DVD-LA95 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 include DTS and Dolby Digital decoding with 5.1-channel analog- and digital-audio outputs, built-in stereo speakers, and Dialogue Enhancer for DVD movie viewing (which boosts the center-channel level by 6 dB during playback of Dolby Digital 5.1 discs, since most of the principal dialogue is channeled there). Advanced Surround Sound (VSS) simulates surround effects from any two speakers or from headphones. Other features include chapter preview, high-speed smooth-motion scan in forward and reverse (up to 100 times normal speed), repeat mode, title/chapter search with marker function, skip forward/reverse, auto power off, and resume play.

In addition to playing favorite DVD movie and music discs, the DVD-LA95 also plays video recorded on DVD-RAMs. DVD-RAM lets you record high-quality MPEG-2 video on DVDs, offering fast data transmission, speedy random access to chapters, and rewritability up to 100,000 times.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great Portable DVD Player.......2006-12-14

I owned my first Panasonic DVD-LA95 Player trouble-free for several years, and it worked great until I dropped it and cracked the screen. Getting it fixed was a hassle, and I agree with the complaints about service. I gave up on the service angle and just bought another used one. They sell on eBay for prices ranging from $100-$160.

For decent (lengthy) performance, get one (or two) of the auxillary batteries. I'm talking about the large flat one that attaches on the bottom of the player. There are 2-3 variations of this battery ranging from 5600 mha to 6800 mha. The largest one will, along with the 'little round one' that comes with the player, play movies for about eight hours.

The batteries charge together when it's plugged in, so you can just leave both batteries installed. Never have to take them off.

The video quality is outstand, but on a plane you need earphones. For the best experience in the air, I got two sets of Bose Quiet Comfort ear phones and a splitter so that my wife and I could both hear the audio. The Bose headset really cancels the outside noise and we enjoy several movies during long flights. Sound quality is outstanding.

I'm very pleased with the Panasonic DVD LA95.

2 out of 5 stars Great picture, terrible quality.......2005-08-08

Beautiful picture quality and great features - too bad I can't recommend it due to lousy reliability and worse service policies. The first laser failed about 14 months after I bought the unit. I replaced it for about $300, and that laser failed in 8 months. Panasonic doesn't seem to have many (if any) dealers or spare parts - so your only recourse is depot repair which is slow, expensive and unreliable.

Love the picture but this thing is just too fragile and not worth the hassle - avoid.

3 out of 5 stars broken player rats!.......2005-04-13

We have had this player for about 2 years and loved it until it broke. We bought the extra battery pack which gave us aproximately 5-6 hours total playing time. It went on a lot of long car rides and plane trips with us. My son at age 6 dropped the player and then we had playing problems. I had a very difficult time getting service information. Finally I sent it to an indepentdent dealer who told me nothing could be done as Panasonic no longer makes the spare part and even if it did it would cost about 400 dollars. The service tech said they only make so many spare parts and when they run out that is it. I think this is shameful for such an expensive product. Buyer beware this product can't be dropped and should not be handled with small children.

5 out of 5 stars THIS DVD PLAYER IS GREAT!!!!!.......2005-02-04

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 12 YEAR OLD SON FOR CHRISTMAS OF 2003. HE HAS HAD IT FOR OVER A YEAR AND USES IT JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY. IT IS GREAT!! IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE BATTERY LASTED A LITTLE LONGER BUT, THAT IS OKAY, AS LONG AS YOU PURCHASE AN INVERTER FOR LONG TRIPS.

2 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware .......2004-12-11

When my Panasonic, no longer under warranty, needed a repair, I discovered that I had two options, either throw it away or buy a rebuilt player. The problem was a dead backlight, something that should have been a simple repair, but due to way machine is designed turns out not to be. I bought the rebuilt player and that was defective. It does come with a 90 day warranty, but local certified Panansonic dealer won't honor it. And on and on the story goes.

So beware, product was good, but once something happens and you enter the service system, you will experience frustrations.

            Product Description

            The bi-directional wavelength division multiplexing (BWDM) interface carries two distinct channels in different directions on a single strand of fiber.The BWDM interface converts electrical signals to wavelengths on a single strand of fiber, and provides a manageable, cost effective solution to achieve distances up to 20km. At one end of the connection one wavelength is used to transmit (e.g., 1310nm or 1550nm), and another wavelength is used to receive (e.g., 1310nm or1550nm).Bi-directional fiber connectivity improves network scalability and serviceability and is ideal for both MAN and LAN applications where additional users must be supported on existing fiber connections. BWDM eliminates the need to install a second fiber and effectively doubles the fiber capacity on existing fiber cables. This provides a 100% improvement in fiber utilization since only a single fiber strand is required. Thus, fiber costs, installations costs, and maintenance costs all reduce the overall cost of ownership.
