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 »

Pros Multi-format, ethernet connection for software updates
Cons Some movies take a while to load
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this player in June and have had great luck with it. I've given it a lot of use since I was out of work for 3 months after knee surgery. Not only do the Blu-ray and HD-DVD movies look great, but so do all my regular DVDs. It upconverts all standard DVDs. The only downside is that my... Read full review »

Pros Compatible with playback of Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, and DVD. Improved detail, clarity, color &...
Cons Speaker test needs a fix, as does 100Hz crossover for analog multi-channel audio output.
Recommended it? Yes

One day in and I can't find a much of a downside to this player.

Hooked up via component (sorry no HDMI on either my TV or AV Receiver) to a 1080i 65" Mitsubishi WS-65907 (viewed from 12 feet) via an Onkyo TX-DS989.

No problems with playing back any media so far.
