Panasonic RP82: a second and third non-technical opinion

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Two female visitors yesterday actually *noticed* the RP82 in the wall'o'black AV rack (my separate stereo rack has all silver gear), which is not hard to do. They have never commented on any of my gear before, except the Maggies. They thought the 82 was "gorgeous" (?!?), so apparently I am FOS and the Panny focus groups were females. They also liked its small size. I deleted my previous post re this item, I am a minority, but I haven't changed my mind (yet). It has very cheap external construction in all ways. It has excellent progressively scanned video into a Sony 51HW40. I could not see any "chroma bug" (wish Sony and Pioneer et al would figure this out, so I'd have more DVDP choices, it's inexcusable at this point).
I am off to buy my first DVD-A. If I can't find anything I want to hear again, I'll pick up something I want to see, Shania Twain and Brittney Spears come to mind from what I saw available. In the interests of science of course. I just had my ears checked this afternoon, perhaps I should have waited...
