Video features include a selectable cinema mode that enhances the picture by reducing glare, softening resolution, and improving visibility of details in dark scenes, resulting in a more realistic cinemalike image. The Panasonic DVD-RV30 is equipped with S-video outputs and component video out. Component video out digitally separates the video signal into its luminance (Y) and separate chrominance (PR and PB) elements, allowing delivery of a reference-quality picture with precise color reproduction. (The connected television or monitor must be compatible to attain the benefit of this feature.) Every Panasonic DVD player features high-speed, five-step, smooth-motion scan. This feature provides crystal-clear forward and reverse scan in five speeds. At the highest setting, the unit scans at 100 times normal speed.

This model is Energy Star compliant, so it will draw significantly less power in the standby mode than noncompliant DVD products. It comes with a basic remote. It includes a warranty for a year on parts, 90 days on labor.
