Great results so far

Pros Multi-format, ethernet connection for software updates
Cons Some movies take a while to load
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this player in June and have had great luck with it. I've given it a lot of use since I was out of work for 3 months after knee surgery. Not only do the Blu-ray and HD-DVD movies look great, but so do all my regular DVDs. It upconverts all standard DVDs. The only downside is that my... Read full review »

Pros Compatible with playback of Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, and DVD. Improved detail, clarity, color &...
Cons Speaker test needs a fix, as does 100Hz crossover for analog multi-channel audio output.
Recommended it? Yes

One day in and I can't find a much of a downside to this player.

Hooked up via component (sorry no HDMI on either my TV or AV Receiver) to a 1080i 65" Mitsubishi WS-65907 (viewed from 12 feet) via an Onkyo TX-DS989.

No problems with playing back any media so far.

Heed The Reviews Here...Do Not Buy This Deck!

bysounddude Jul 17, 2011
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros None. Panasonic is no longer the reliable company it used to be!
Cons 50% failure rate, old technology. Do not buy this deck. Check out the Magnavox MDR515H
Recommended it? No

I'll be short and sweet here.

I'm a film and video professional. I've worked in the business for over 25 years so I know equipment. I bought this deck to replace high quality Panasonic machines we've used over the years and finally wore out.

Panasonic is NOT the reliable company... Read full review »

Almost perfect!

Pros Good manual, lots of options, great up-conversion, remote controls TV too
Cons Can lock-up occasionally
Recommended it? Yes

We don't have cable, satellite, or any other pay-tv service, so when we were looking for DVD recorders, it had to have a tuner. That eliminated about 95% of the models on the market. Of those remaining, the Panasonic had the best reviews, so we picked it up over the summer and haven't looked... Read full review »
