Panasonic DMP-BD30 - 31 Mar 2008

This is my first Blu-ray player and will go alongside a Toshiba EP35 HD-DVD player on a Samsung LE46F86 telly and Onkyo 705 AV receiver.
It is one of the first Profile 1.1 players to be available in the UK, which is why I waited for it. Profile 1.1 means that it will play the Picture-In-Picture commentary that some may be interested in.
The HD picture is excellent, easily on-par with HD-DVD. Cars looked stunning. Spiderman 3 is very good indeed. SD DVDs up-scaled very well, I could not see any difference between an up-scaled DVD played on either the BD30 or the EP35, which is quite an achievement.
TrueHD was available on the discs and sounded fantastic. Note that there is no on-board decoding of the newer codecs (TrueHD, DD+, DTS-HD) so you will need to bitstream to a suitable AV receiver that can decode them.
The BD30 is fast to turn on and fast to load. Put your ear to it and you can hear the faint fan, but you have to have your head against it! There was no detectable noise from the disc mechanism either.
If you are waiting for Profile 2.0 (to connect it to the Internet) or have an older AV receiver and need on-board decoding, then the Panasonic DMP-BD50 may be worth waiting for. But the BD30 is excellent and easily recommended.
Fantastic blue-ray player for a great price - 28 Mar 2008

After HD-DVD finally went the way of BetaMax, I took the plunge & bought the Panasonic BDP30 player. I was wondering how much better the picture would be than my high-end Marantz DVD upscaler.
The Panasonic is very easy to set-up & the picture plus high-def sound is for the money brilliant. The player is bundled with Cars & Ratatouille blue-ray discs.....the detail in the picture on Cars has to be seen to be believed.
Highly recommended, if you can get your hands on one - I hear that there are only 1000 being imported initially!
