+ Picture & Sound Quality (through other hardware), Value for money

- Operating responce time, flimsy casing, plastic front cover

+ Trouble-free Blu-ray player. Excellent video and sound quality. Good build quality

- Odd placing of power and eject buttons. Time to start playing a disk.

+ Sound & picture are excellent, very good SD playback. Firmware is easy to upgrade from the Panasonic web site.

- Region 2 locked by default.

+ Loads discs in almost the same time as a normal dvd player; much quicker than my Toshiba HD DVD player

- The blue light at the top of the machine in the middle is a bit of a distraction and, in my opinion, a little unnecessary; it is very bright. Apart from that, it's ace !!

+ good design and only blu ray player profile 1.1 on the market, if you dont want a games console.

- Its the little things that also matter. I mean, you buy a top of the range blu ray player with great picture and sound, you might expect the player to have a memory for the dvd's you watch and stop in the middle,watching something else then returning to the other dvd only to have to search where you were up to.

+ Superb picture quality with absolute image stability even with fast-moving scenes. Colours are vibrant, but not over-driven when playing into Panasonic 37px80 TV via HDMI lead. Looks good and is an acceptable size. Remote control is well designed and easy to use. Was thinking about buying a DMPBD10 - I'm glad I waited.

- Takes a long time to think when loading - although this is typical of all Blu-Ray players that I have come across.

+ Picture and sound quality

- Speed in loading and ejecting

+ Sleek black chassis, excellent picture and sound, HD audio support

- Loading time is a bit slow, as is searching for chapters and scenes. However this is the norm for blu ray at the moment.

+ Lives up to the excellent reviews I have read, usual first class panasonic attention to the important details.

- none as of yet

+ fantastic value for money

- none so far

+ Just plug it in and let the machine do the work

- Some disk take time to be reconised.

+ I bought the unit for three reasons, 1 It was to go with my Panasonic Plasma. 2. It had received good reviews regarding it's great overall performance and good value. And third I have bought many Panasonic items and always found reliable and good performers.

- It is a bit lightweight in construction and very plasticky. But it is cheap as Blu-Ray players go though. That's it really.

+ Easy to use and set up

- None

+ Neat player at a reasonable price for Blu-Ray. Excellent slide show facility from SD card with correct scaling of all formats tried.

- Navigation of menus of SD disks poor. Obvious buttons like menu don't work with SD discs, but non ideal workarounds are possible. Some of the operations with the Disney disc (Ratatouille ) painfully slow compared with my HD-DVD player, which I believe is more a fault of the format.disc than the player.

+ Better and easier connectivity if coupled to a Panasonic Viera display. Also, it has a natty little 'status' button which lets you know how much longer the film will last. Something that I have missed on my oDVD players.

- Haven't found one yet, apart from they don't do a silver one!!!

+ Image quality

- Slow disk reading.

+ Nice slime design, great picture, sounds amazing with bose cinemate & toshiba lcd

+ pictures are very good, blacks very black, colours sharp & it's excellent with movement

- (for me, at least!) Both the on/off button & the open button are on the top front edge & all four of my cats love to sit on the player (not all at once!) I need to re-site the player,I think

+ great picture and sound.

+ Good stylish Bluray player with a Number of useful features. (Has a test that tests each of the surround sound speakers). Excellent picture. If you have a LCD TV you must get a bluray player puts normal CDs to shame.

- Need to have more codes to program the remote controller to operate the TV and visa versa. Remote is not that clear as to the functions. Had to purchase an amplifier to play through the surround sound speakers, if the player had an integrated amplifier the player would be the best!

+ Good picture quality

- Freezes occasionally

+ great pictures and features

- design of player looks a bit cheap

+ Beautifully made and produces great sound and picture - also very easy to set up and use.

- None

+ Brilliant with Blu-ray discs and upscales standard DVDs very good too! Slim design and easy to upgrade firmware off Panasonic's web site.

- Slightly slow disc loading times compared with a standard DVD player,but it's worth the wait!

+ Excellent player, great value and fantastic picture and sound quality.

+ excellent pictures and sound on Blu-ray and DVD's. good price

- none

+ fast setup and play

- position of the open/close button

+ This is undoubtedly the best thing since sliced bread. Everything about this DVD player is truly awesome, I would highly recommend this to anyone wishing to decide on what BLU RAY DVD Player to buy. I buy STUFF magazine every month and this is their BEST HOT BUY recommendation (better than SONY) and this was after I'd bought the DVD Player (Good Choice). I also have a 37" Panasonic LCD 1080p TV and I use the same remote for both TV and DVD. Overall, an awe-inspiring experience that shouldn't be missed....

- None whatsoever............

+ Excellent picture quality, good basic control from the remote.

- Some remote control operations are a little obscure

+ Compact simple design, with full list of great features and compatibility with all the latest sound formats etc. The set up was easy and picture quality superb. Without a proper full av sound system I cannot comment on the audio but it is fine through the TV.

- Maybe the upscaling could be a bit better, but still better than the broadcast picture, so not too disappointing.

+ Picture quality is fantastic, easy to use and set up. good build quality.

- None really.
