Was just about to buy the panasonic when i read about the lg. was wondering if anyone had experience with both. I was drawn to the panasonic over the samsung 3600 as the panasonic superior video and audio, but have not read a comparision between the panasonic and lg.

Posted by Camper: Has anybody used this Panasonic with the 7.1 analog outs?
i was just about to buy it when someone mentioned a glitch with the 7.1 analog outs.
I regularly monitor the BD60/BD80 thread over ath AVS Forum. I have not read about any glitches with the analog outs of the BD80. Most people who pay more for the 80 over the 60 do so for the analog outs.
The only regularly reported glitch with the Panasonic players if the (in)famous "random freeze", in which a Blu-ray disc will freeze at a random point that is not repeatable. I have the 60 and have experienced one "freeze" out of many discs. It is not a lockup. The movie freezes, and then resumes a second or two later. The effect is rather like a DVD layer change pause.

I don't know anything about the LG, but I do have the Panasonic 80 and I can say that the analog outs on the Panasonic 80 work well for me. I've had the 80 for about a month now and I've had no problems with the audio coming through the analog outs (I have a 5.1 system). It sounds great to me. Video wise, I have had one momentary freeze while playing a BD. That happened last Friday night while watching Spiderman. Other than that, no problems and I would still highly recommend the Panasonic.

The Oppo BDP-83 is indeed a great Blu-Ray player. It probably is the best player available if not it atleast is the best value player there is.
