Product Description
Through the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, Panasonic has collaborated with Hollywood filmmakers for more than 15 years to accumulate the know-how and expertise that are needed to achieve faithful color reproduction between original movie footage and Blu-ray media. The image playback technologies that have been gained from this know-how and expertise are fully reflected in Panasonic's Blu-ray Disc Player. This allows Panasonic to bring outstanding images that approach original cinema quality right into your living room PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus is a high quality image-processing technology developed by Panasonic to precisely process each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc video signal in the vertical direction. It reproduces color data with twice the accuracy of conventional systems to keep colors faithful and sharp. Because this model is compatible with the VIERA CAST function, you can access YouTube, Picasa, and other Internet sites from the special VIERA CAST screen. YouTube lets you watch the newest video clips, and Picasa lets you view Web-based photos. You can also check weather and stock information on other sites (subscription service and other accessories may be required).

 great value November 16, 2009
Monarch of Yorkshire (Southeastern USA)
For the price, this player is outstanding. After attaching the unit to our entertainment system, I connected the unit to the internet: firmware update was easy and quick. What else can I say? It works as advertised! Unit looks great, and remote is easy to use. Output via HDMI to our Panasonic plasma is awesome!
blue ray player with 7.1 analog out November 16, 2009
movies unlimited (texas)
Great picture on blue ray and very impressive up convert on regular DVD, the biggest reason I've bought this model is the 7.1 analog out from this player. It's a perfect match for my older but still very good receiver that has an analog input. So it not necessary to buy a new receiver just to play dtsHD surrounds sound from blue ray. It's sure sound much more immersive than before.
Enjoy blu ray without upgrading all your equipment November 15, 2009

I bought this blu ray disc player solely for the reason that it had 7.1 analog inputs. This blu ray player allows those of us who have spent thousands of dollars building a quality home theater to keep our old equipment instead starting all over again in order to enjoy the benefits of blu ray. If you have a reciever with hdmi you don't need this blu ray player... buy the cheaper version without the 7.1 analog outputs.
If you don't like tweaking your equipment and you have lots of cash, buy a new reciever. It took a little extra effort to set up the player to use only the video from the hdmi, and use the sound from the analog outputs. Then you have to adjust all of your speaker and subwoofer levels again. The extra effort is worth it for those of us with a budget.
For under two hundred dollars, this blu ray player does all you need it to do and the picture and sound quality is great. I upgraded the firmware before I ever used it and I have not had a single problem playing any disc. I don't have any comparison to other blu ray players, but I was supprised how well it upscales my old dvd's. It is better than my old harman/kardon dvd 38 at upscaling. I am able to watch standard dvd's on a 108 inch screen and still tolerate the video quality.
I personally don't care about the youtube, bd live, viera cast etc. I only use the player to watch movies. I have fiddled around with it a little, but it wouldn't make or break my decision to buy this unit. My computer is connected through my home theater system and video projector and I don't need most of it anyway, and watching poor quality video from youtube on a large screen is unbearable.
I have read many of ther other reviews and agree with some of the other complaints about the player( display, remote, etc). All of which I consider very minor. If you are extremely picky you will probably never be satisfied. If you want to watch high def movies in 7.1 surround sound without a hdmi equipped reciever, I highly recommend this unit.
BD60 + Additional features = BD80, worth buying November 10, 2009

I did lots of research and finalized on BD80, for which I am very happy.
I did looked into all the reviews on BD60 in addition to BD80 reveiw, basically this player has few additional features to the BD60 player , which has good rating all over the sites.
BD80 is nothing but BD60 + additional features.
The key additional feature ,what I feel are 7.1 Analog output, playing Divx formats and Playback Information Window.
The one I bought had 1.6 profile, after connecting to Internet, it automatically detected and offered firmware update and updated it to 2.1 profile.
Amazon on Demand picture quality is really amazing. The only con , I can see is Netfilx connectivity is missing, however , I assume, we can expect that in near future.. along with any firmware update...
I can see the difference in Picture Quality and Audio Quality. I would highly recommend this product.
Thanks to 6Ave for good packing and prompt delivery.
