More confirmation it's happening at least. I know it will be a long 4 months for you guys though.

I wonder if it will coincide with a new hardware release or the new software will effectively make this player their 2nd gen model.

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD10


Does anyone know where one might send Panasonic some suggestions for possible features to add to the DMP-BD10 in the next firmware upgrade? I would like to suggest that they add a feature to display the video and audio codecs and the bitrates. Am I dreaming?

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD10


Was the film content
in 16:9 format
or 4:3 in a 1.88 to 1 wide screen ratio format (black bars at top and botom)
as if it is the second one, that will explain the black bars

Sorry if this has been covered allready but I just didn't want to comb through the entire thread. Has there been any news regaurding a second generation Panasonic Blu-ray yet? And if so what additional features will it have and what date will it be available?

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD10


Dave, this is the Panny BD10, not the Toshiba HD-A1 HD-DVD Player.

The good news to me is that Panasonic has committed itself to a significant firmware update for the BD10 now forecasted for April 2007. That says to me that it will support this player, not follow the Detroit auto annual new model ritual. Also, this is a global player and it's just barely getting into distribution in the UK.

And I think it is still in short supply here. And the reviews are just barely starting to be put out there.

Dana

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD10


I am not really concerned with the availability yet. As I will not have the money saved until March or April for the player. I am really looking foward to picking the player up at that time and watching the movies I have allready purchased. So hopefully the upgrade will be available by the time I have the money to buy the player.

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD10


Right. I noticed your plans for a March 26, 2007 purchase. Good for you. (Although there is 12 months no interest no payments financing available at the moment from some authorized dealers.) The only mention of the supply situation is that I think Panasonic is still ramping up production of this player. It's a keeper for sure, and it's the best yet on the audio side I think.

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD10


The performance (for me) has been nothing short of rock solid. I have 28 BR disks and no hiccups.
