Re: Official Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-Ray player thread


Hi folks,
Got my BD10 a couple of days ago, Region B (Australia), firmware 1.4. I need some advice re HDMI Video format please. Connected to my early model 60" Samsung LCD, Belkin pure video HDMI to DVI cable. My problem is that I can't change the HDMI Video Format from "Automatic" to any of the manual settings, which remain greyed out. I understand that the Panny "negotiates" with my Sammy on startup but it will not allow me to change resolution beyond 576/480p. The native resolution of my Sammy is 720p and it will accept 1080i - I have no difficulty sending upscaled 1080i from my Pioneer DVD DV-S969Avi to the Sammy over the same cable and also from my Strong 5490 PVR but the best I can get from the Panny is 576/480p from Blu ray or DVD . I can send 1080i from the Panny using Component. Is it possible that the Panny just does not want to "shake hands" with my Sammy HDMI vs DVI ?? Sorry if this is all a bit long winded.
Best wishes,
Ron
ps: My Samsung LCD received a firmware upgrade a couple of years ago and I believe it is HDCP compatible or it wouldn't accept the 1080 signal from the Pioneer.

Ron,

I doubt that you would see any picture using HDMI if there was no HDCP handshake. If your display is native 720p, the TV will convert any incoming signal to 720p including 1080i and 480p. I'm not sure why you can't set the Panny to input 720p; it may have something to do with PAL with which I am not familiar.

Maybe someone from Down Under will comment. I wish I could be more helpful.

Re: Official Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-Ray player thread


Thanks for your advice Dana - very much appreciated. I'm taking it into my local Panasonic Service Centre next week, just up the road thankfully, to plug it into a much more upmarket Plasma & see what happens.
Cheers
Ron

Between the price point and the free discs, now I'm not sure whether this or the PS3 should be my first Blu Ray player.

All feedback welcome!

Re: Official Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-Ray player thread


I got "playability and stability" all those other upgrades. What the hell is it? Is gonna make Pirates Of....play better? I have 'em but haven't put 'em in yet. I keep hearing they've given some players fits. I'm so used to BD's playing flawlessly that I can hardly imagine Johnny's depness duping my deck. I'll get it, of course, but at what point are these upgrades gonna end. Are we warm yet?



Rachael, the big disc cat! I used to be looking for Hi-Vision Laserdiscs & D-Theater tapes, now I'm looking for HD-DVD's and Blu-rays.

I survived the AFI top 100 Film Challenge! I've seen them all.

Re: Official Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-Ray player thread


Hi Folks,
I've just loaded firmware 2.1 (Oceania). It loaded much quicker than version 2.00. The only other thing I have observed at this stage is that chapter skips, and chapter selection from the menu are much faster than they were previously. That's about it from me, off now to watch Night at the Museum again so 'good night and good luck' - er, as they say.
Best wishes from Oz,
Ron

I think there's reason to be pleased with this latest firmware update, over and above the actual content, because Panasonic released a firmware update for the BD10a at the same time. What would we be saying if the BD10a was the only firmware update released? It wouldn't be pretty.

I'll take all the updates Panny wants to send. And I am glad that Panny hasn't "forgotten" all of us who supported the BD10 by buying it.

But, aren't the BD10 and the BD10a the exact same component, the only difference being the BD10a comes pre-loaded with Firmware 2.0?
