Panasonic DMP-BD35 DVD Player Reviews

+ Excellent picture, sound

- Disk tray takes a while to open when pressing the eject button and slow to read the BluRay discs but is this a feature of BluRay?

+ Linked to Panasonic PZ81 superb picture quality

- none

+ Almost everything. Works as well as any piece of AV equipment I have ever owned. Th video is great and the sound impressive - certainly on uncompressed Blu-ray.

- DVD upscaling has artefacts that my 2 year old, cheap, Pioneer DVD does not.

+ Menu, viera link, quality

- Far too slow to open door, viera link gets confused between be player and the panasonic DVD recorder I have even though it is a q link player on scart.

+ looks good and loads up quickly with blue ray discs and upscaling is good on dvd

- no zoom feature

+ Perfect sharp picture and great sound through the TV

- None

+ Excellent product which works well with our Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder. Is the only product we know of which recognises video on an SD card. All other products are only geared up to look for photos, so will not play video. Picture and sound quality first class. Upgrades 'old' DVD's very well. Easy to use and works well with our Samsung HD television. (Some reviews said it wouldn't work with Samsung but ours does with no problem at all).

- None.

+ Superb sound & image

- A little slow on startup, initial setup went a bit wrong

+ Easy to set up. Had it working in 5 minutes

- None

+ excellent picture, good sound. usual panasonic standard. easy to update though internet. no problems setting up. was toying between this and sony of simalar spec, but panasonic products for me have always been top quality.

- a little slow on loading discs, but to be honest a minute is not much time to wait for a superb home cinema experiance.

+ Typical Panasonic brilliance

- Nonethat I have found as yet

+ We have not had time to test it out completely but from the little we have seen of it so far, it is fit for purpose and we look forward to using it much more in the coming months

- Had a little difficulty setting it up, we ended up having to buy a splitter cable in the end to enable us to play it at all - which is not ideal but appears to have answered the immediate problem, we just hope we will not get a dispargement on picture quality. This was an added expense and delayed the use of the equipment, plus we were really not sure which cable to get so that took the edge off as well.

+ Easy to set up and use.

- None

+ Brilliant picture, looks good and quick operation (for a blue ray player).

- Hard to get the correct settings to get audio out for amp decoding (took several reads of the manual)

+ Great sound, Amazing picture detail providing you have a full hd tv.

- takes a while to load a blu-ray and stops the disc when you change features.

+ Does the job - plays BluRay discs superbly. Is easy to install and operate

- Noe at all so far.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Could do with two HDMI slots

+ brilliant at everything for the price. Beats the Sony players hands down for 7.1

- slightly confusing set-up but not too bad if you take it slowly.

+ Superb picture and sound. Good upscaling of good DVDs (but see bad points). Vierra Link control when paired with Panasonic TV.

- Unable to turn off DVD upscaling - "low quality" DVDs, e.g. old camcorder recordings transferred to DVD, actually play worse where the upscaling seems to try too hard to improve things. Keep your old DVD player for these DVDs if you have any.

+ ease of connection

- seems to take a long time to load blue ray discs

+ PICTURE QUALITY AND SOUND FIRST CLASS

- CAN BE TOO TECHNICAL - THE SOUND MENU

+ Everything, the picture and sound quality, are excellent, it's easy to use, great Panasonic quality. Well done Panasonic.

- none.

+ A slim, well priced and impressive little box of tricks. Blu-Ray movies running at 24p are beautifully smooth and crisp. The player case is a nice deep black which will match most new HD televisions, and setting it up is quite simple. The real plus with this unit is profile 2.0 out of the box, which means it should be ready to play all current blu-ray content without the need for firmware upgrade via the internet. It should also be noted that the upscaling on this player is OUTSTANDING, some of my dvd's in standard definition look stunning on my plasma. Nice as a starter unit.

- Poor connectivity at the back, no scart socket and few component outputs. (only 1 hdmi output) The remote control is a confusing mess with the buttons you will be using the most laid out in the wrong place. When I first plugged it into my television I couldn't get any sound, it took me quite a while to look through the manual and the through the on screen menu before I could find the problem (output sound through HDMI) although I realise that this might just be down to my being impatient!!!!
