The latest entry in the Blu-Ray Disc player market is the Panasonic DMP-BD65, which comes with such features as Viera Cast, deep color saturation and x.v.Color. This is one disc player that won't eat up a lot of space, at a mere 17 inches wide by 2 inches high and 8.25 inches deep. This is a single capacity player that comes loaded with twenty playback formats, yet only weighs 4.2 pounds. Picture resolution is not an issue with the DMP-BD65, which has a 1080 maximum output, and will also convert your old favorites so you can now enjoy them in high definition. The sound quality is just as good, since the DMP-BD65 includes DTSHD high resolution audio, DTSHD master audio, TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus.
Panasonic has also included a media card slot, so you can see your favorite photos or enjoy your favorite song list, all on the same machine. The DMP-BD65 will let you download your favorite music, check out the latest movie or just surf the internet. You'll be able to access and view such sites as Picasa, VieraCast or YouTube; as an added bonus, the DMP-BD65 is WiFi ready, includes Ethernet connections and even has quick access to BD Live Support. You'll also be able to see your personal pictures and home movies on either a pc or high definition TV using the HDMI output. In addition, the Panasonic DMP-BD65 includes a SD slot and a USB port, and it does all this while keeping its Energy Star certification.
The Panasonic DMP-BD65 is an excellent investment for anyone looking for a Blu-Ray disc player. Panasonic has come up with an appealing machine that is not only fun to use, but simple to install. This is one machine that is sleek and good-looking, and ready to blend in with any home environment. You won't have to worry about finding enough shelf space for this device, because it's slim and trim shape means it can fit into all those small spaces that are just too tight for those more hulking players. And you won't have to struggle to insert your USB device or SD card since both are located on the front of the machine, just below the disc tray; there's a small panel that flips down to reveal your additional connections. Everything on the back side of the DMP-BD65 is color coded to match the standard connectivity options, so installing your new disc player into an existing system is straight-forward; you'll be able to easily locate the two channel analog output, the optical digital output, the component video output and the composite video output.
As an added bonus, the DMP-BD65 has a complete set of instructions that will pop up on the screen and guide you through the remaining steps in the installation process. VieraCast will probably become one of your favorites, as it allows you to watch everything from Amazon VOD content, YouTube, Netflix, news and even Picasa images. There's no long wait for the system to warm up either, as the DMP-BD65 is ready to go in a blazing.5 seconds. The DMP-BD65's overall performance speed is just as impressive, and you can take advantage of this by using its many quick start features. Panasonic has joined the "go green" effort, so you can count on this machine being not only fast but energy efficient as well. This is one disc player that combines two of the best possible benefits - a great introductory price and a low cost, low energy future.
