I don't care since I can play them on my computer if I want to be picky or just skip a song with the remote. You won't be disappointed. Terrible customer service. The screen would pixilate and freeze. I called panasonic consumer services and they refused to repair or replace the unit.
Picture quality is awesome.
This player produces great picture quality, has a dedicated Sub output, and best of all for the family - the remote is easy to work and intuitive. If you want a great player which won't break the bank, get this one. If you want a better player, you'll have to get a progressive scan player. This DVD player is great. I have not had any problems with it.
