+ Picture and sound quality

- Speed in loading and ejecting

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

+ 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.

+ Great picture and sound, fairly quick disc load (for a Blu Ray), easy to use remote

- None experienced yet!

+ picture quality very good on a 7ft screen,sound is very detailed,with both dvd@b/ray.

- The player is a bit flimsy looking,a bit slow loading,but they all do this.

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

+ 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.

+ 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!

+ Low profile - looks good and functions superbly. Links with my old Viera 42 inch plasma

- None

+ Easy to use, relatively cheap and everything you'd want in a Blu-ray player!

- Isn't the quickest device, but the Blu-ray players I have seen, used and tested all seem to be pretty slow when it comes to ejecting and loading up.

+ picture and sound very good

- loading time on some dics

+ Just about everything

- Hardly any - perhaps rather complex functionality tree and the remote control takes a little bit of getting used to...

+ 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

- Takes an age to switch on and an eternity for the draw to open. Yawn

+ Great quality picture!!

+ 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.

- None so far

+ works very well in areas of blu-ray it is all i expcted a very fine product as i have found with all panasonic products

- 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!

+ 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.

+ 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.

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

- none

+ HDMI Link automatically switches channel when a DVD is put in.

- none as of yet

+ 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............

+ Very easy to use. Outstanding picture quality with some nice editing features. Nice design. Great value for money.
Superb upscaling of standard definition DVDs - almost look High Definition on quality discs.

- Long loading times for Blu-Ray however standard dvds are considerably quicker.
Havent found a way to change Region coding (2 only).

SD card slot is useful
