"Nice for your first BD Player!"
Pros: Good image and sound via HDMI; 5 Free movies in the Box
Cons: Flip down tray; no ethernet port for firmware update; akward remote
Summary: Just purchased a few days ago and lived up to expectations. The deciding factor in my purchase was definitely the 5 free bluy ray disc included in the box, not to mention my familiarity with Panasonic DVD players. After watching all of the 5 Bluy Ray Disc include I came to the conclusion that some movies looked better than others especially Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead man?s Chest which looked amazing considering standard DVD already has good image quality. Also I was blown away (literally) by the sound quality via my hdmi connection. Yes, Blu Ray DOES look better than standard DVD, but the difference is not as drastic as SDTV to HDTV. Only problem with design of player is the front flip-down panel has to be pulled down to change disc and the remote has a ?secret? (it?s a secret if you don?t read the manual! LOL!) compartment for the setup controls. Also there is no Ethernet port but you can update the firmware via cd-r disc by going to Panasonic.net. DVD up conversion was solid on this unit as well. If you can get pass the flip down panel I would highly recommend this unit as a stand alone player.
