    A Few Details on Panasonic's 2012 Blu-ray Player line-up

    Yeah, I was happily surprised that they went back to having a true high-end player with multi-channel analog outputs. I know the market for this is smaller, but it shows that Panasonic is still in tune with the high-end A/V enthusiast audience. -CB

    A Few Details on Panasonic's 2012 Blu-ray Player line-up

    Check out Panasonic's upcoming Blu-ray player line-up. Smaller, faster, more streaming, 1080/24p output from streaming sources (in addition to Blu-ray and DVD), and potentially higher performance overall, particularly on DVDs with enhancements to Panasonic's Super Resolution technology.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Alien Anthology -- in Blu-ray

    Some people are choosing to get the UK version instead which is apparently region-free with the same masters and with all the supplements of the US version, but for something like $57 shipped to the US by buying on Amazon.co.uk. This makes it a lot easier to justify buying the two movies you...

    Panasonic DMP-BD35 & DMP-BD55 Features

    Pardon me but what's so ridiculous about this? And tell me which Blu-ray Disc player on the market can incorporate secondary audio tracks into a DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD bitstream and then output that bitstream for decoding on an AVR or pre/pro? The answer is none. Because no players have a DTS-HD...
