Pros Brilliant picture and amazing sound, excellent upconversion, low-cost unit.
Cons Slow load time, poor navigation, does not format video well.
Recommended it? Yes

Before I begin regaling you with my thoughts of the Panasonic DMP-BD30K Blu-Ray Player, a little background may be in order. Certainly, this is not one of the newest players on the market, and has actually been around for a year or so as I type. So, you ask, why did I buy it? Why didn't I get one... Read full review »

Heed The Reviews Here...Do Not Buy This Deck!

bysounddude Jul 17, 2011
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros None. Panasonic is no longer the reliable company it used to be!
Cons 50% failure rate, old technology. Do not buy this deck. Check out the Magnavox MDR515H
Recommended it? No

I'll be short and sweet here.

I'm a film and video professional. I've worked in the business for over 25 years so I know equipment. I bought this deck to replace high quality Panasonic machines we've used over the years and finally wore out.

Panasonic is NOT the reliable company... Read full review »

Almost perfect!

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good manual, lots of options, great up-conversion, remote controls TV too
Cons Can lock-up occasionally
Recommended it? Yes

We don't have cable, satellite, or any other pay-tv service, so when we were looking for DVD recorders, it had to have a tuner. That eliminated about 95% of the models on the market. Of those remaining, the Panasonic had the best reviews, so we picked it up over the summer and haven't looked... Read full review »
