The Panasonic DMP-BD30 offers excellent video quality and is Blu-ray Profile 1.1-compliant, but those who want high-resolution audio will need a new-gen A/V receiver.
If it's Hi-Def movies you want then Panasonic's second-ever Blu-ray player delivers big time. 1080p pictures running at a cinema-esque 24fps will leave carpet burns on your chin. In the sonic stakes it handles up to 7.1 channels of smooth well-bal...
We would have really liked to have seen Profile 2.0 BD-Live compatibility included in the package. That would have given the DMP-BD30 the ability to access bonus content from the Internet, and made it nigh-on unbeatable in the Blu-ray battle. Oh well, you...
An excellent standalone player at an affordable price. Pictures are of the highest standard, and getting round the menus is a piece of the proverbial.Panasonic DMP-BD30 is tagged with Blu-Ray, Panasonic, DVD player and high definition. Select a tag (Bl...

Bluray movies look very good at both 1080p/60 and 1080p/24, The player passes the highresolution audio bitstream over HDMI, It can play pictureinpicture bonus content, such as video commentaries and makingof featurettes, This player has faster startup, load and navigation times than most earlygeneration Bluray players, The SD card slot allows for easy viewing of digital movies and photos,
The DMPBD30 lacks an Ethernet port, so you can't access Web features on Bluray discs, The lack of onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTSHD decoders means you need a receiver with the proper decoders to enjoy highresolution formats, Standarddef DVDs look good overall, but the picture is not quite as clean and detailed as we've seen on other Bluray players
The Panasonic DMP-BD30 offers very good Blu-ray performance, and its quick, glitch-free operation makes it more enjoyable to use than a lot of early Profile 1.0 players. It's best mated with an A/V receiver that has high-resolution audio decoding. If y...
Fast response time, SD Card slot for AVCHD playback
Image and audio quality mediocre
Image quality is generally good, but images often look too bright and washed out. Offers high-resolution audio output over bitstream, but no on-board decoding.
