Product Description
You may not be aware of this but the DVD player in your home isn't ready for high-definition. For HD, you need Blu-Ray. Blu-ray Disc is the next-generation format for high definition entertainment. It's a new dimension in sound and image quality, and it's the future of home-theater sound and video technologies. Paired with a high performance HDTV, you can have a truly cinematic experience. Watch movies with the stunning picture and intensely rich sound that puts you in the middle of the action. The DMPBD10AK is the first Blu-ray Disc player capable of decoding Dolby True HD - a new surround sound format that uses less compression than regular Dolby Digital to produce fuller, richer movie sound effects with up to 7.1 channels of surround sound. Blu-ray discs can store 25GB (single layer) or 50GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc -- about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD. Blu-ray discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080 at 40 Mbit/sec) for full 1080p, when used with HDMI connectivity. Stereo and 7.1-Channel Audio Outputs, Audio L/R Outputs 24-Bit/192kHz Audio D/A Converter For Each Of Eight Channels (7.1 channel surround) Multibrand Remote Control High Definition Movie Playback With Up To 5 Times The Resolution Of DVD Up to 1080p (1920 x 1080p) Output Through HDMI Digital Output Full-HD - High Definition Playback - 1080p Playback Capability with P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD) and 297MHz/14-bit Video D/A Converter Virtual Battery Operation Prevents Noise From Entering Audio Circuitry EZ SYNC Control Simplifies Operation With Compatible Panasonic Plasma TV BD-JAVA Interactive Capability Search and Skip Functions Slow Motion Play, Step Motion Play Repeat Play Parental Lock capability Unit Dimensions - 16.94 W x 2.25 H x 13 D; Weight - 9 Lbs.

 Perfect July 29, 2008

Own mine now for about a year. No problems and picture is awesome! Viewing on a 1080p Panasonic set. I did update the firmware a few months ago and it helped with loading some BD's. Note that some BD disc will be better quality than others. Not the players fault, just the way they compressed the videos.

The Panasonic DMP-BD10A is a high quality Blu-Ray player. Start up times (once the power button is hit to time disk tray will come out)are as fast as my upconvert DVD player...Much faster than the Sony BDP-S300 I use to own. Also the play times (time from when disk is put into player and see disk contents on the TV) are also just as fast as my upconvert DVD player. Picture quality is out of this world! Cannot comment on audio since I'm still using the speakers on my LCD. I wish I would have bought this player instead of my Sony Blu-ray to begin with. Panasonic certainly put a lot of thought and quality into this machine. My only gripe is the remote could have been better laid out, but really no big deal. Some have complained about the flip-down front panel, but I personally like it b/c it hides all the unsightly buttons one typically sees on Blu-ray players. The panel gives this player a handsome appearance. I highly recommend this Panasonic Blu-ray player!!
Best Blu-Ray DVD Player March 9, 2008

After researching the sony and sharp, the Panasonic start from load is less than 30 seconds, haven't required an update as of yet, Everything works wonderfully.
Also own the first generation Toshibs HD DVD player, but now unfortunately, even though the insane load time, HD DVD looks like it has bitten the dust. Asked Toshiba what they plan to do for existing purchasers, with no surpirse, no response to my email. Picture quality equals if not excells the best HD DVD Player to my astonishment. 5 Star player. No reason to consider anything else.

The picture quality is great. I'm not sure if it is designed that way but it makes a clunking sound when ejecting the disc.
Great player! February 23, 2008

I have a Toshiba HD-DVD player, but with the demise of HD-DVD, I decided to get a Blu-ray player. I bought this specific model because is has 5.1 or 7.1 analog out, and decodes everything internally, up to, but not including DTS-HD MA. No other player I've found will do all of this. This player is out of production, replaced by the DMP-BD30, but the BD30 doesn't have 5.1/7.1 out, so I would have had to get a different receiver. My receiver had an unused 5.1 analog in, so this player is perfect for my needs. I missed the closeout sales of these players by a few days, so I'd been looking around for sometime, and found one from an Amazon seller. Came with everything except the 5 free DVDs, unfortunately.
When I got it, it had version 1 firmware, so the first thing I did after I made sure it worked ok out of the box was update it to the latest version, 2.4. This added some audio decoding features, to include DTS-HD (not MA though).
I've noted that it boots much faster than my Toshiba HD-DVD player, which is nice. However, since Blu-ray is an evolving standard which hadn't matured when the 10a was produced, unlike HD-DVD, the 10a doesn't have an internet connection for direct firmware upgrades, and other internet features. I can live without that since it is easily upgraded by CD. Picture quality is great, and it plays all of the Blu-ray and standard DVDs I've thrown at it. But since neither it nor the Toshiba player will do Divx or region free, I've still got my trusty Oppo player in the mix. My plasma is a 720p native version, so the lack of 1080p/24fps in the 10a doesn't bother me. The 10a does support 1080p (normal) however.
All in all, I'm very happy.
