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. P4HD processes more than 15 billion pixels per second and applies the optimal processing to every pixel. So that it can render progressive images superbly, expresses motion smoothly, and draws crisp diagonal lines. The DMP-BD55 can decode HD Audio (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD) and output 7.1ch digital audio signal. The resulting audio is studio master quality sound. This signal can be connected to an HDMI compatible receiver that does not support HD Audio Codec. Besides, the 7.1-channel analog signal converted by 192kHz D/A converter is transmitted in high quality. Less

Recommended it? Yes

The Panasonic DMR-E65 is a DVD recorder that is pretty similar to the Panasonic E55, but adds some useful features. Useful, that is, if you want to view digital still pictures from a memory card (be it SD Card, MultiMedia Card, PC Card, Memory Stick, Smart Media Card or Compact Flash) on your TV...

Pros Features, performance, picture quality playing both Blu-Ray and standard DVD, good remote
Cons Could be cheaper still
Recommended it? Yes

I have to confess that I jumped on the HD bandwagon a while ago and have used the Toshiba HD-A3 for a while. Since HD DVD lost and Blu-Ray won, I have been looking at the newer Blu-Ray players. I had good experience with Panasonic DVD players as well as other A/V gear, so checking out the new... Read full review »

Pros Backwards compatibility with older home theatre systems, great picture quality.
Cons Unlit remote control, one "fit and finish" issue. Doesn't remember disk...
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased the Panasonic DMP-BD55 (in Canada where I live) mostly based on reviews from the internet, both consumer and professional, as well as release date and its connections. If I hadn't needed the coax digital audio output, I believe I could have purchased the BD-35 for over one hundred... Read full review »
