Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu-Ray DVD Player

Pros: Price, features, performance, picture quality playing both Blu-Ray and standard DVD, good remote

Cons: No 7.1 analog audio out

The Bottom Line: If you want an excellent Blu-Ray DVD player that also excels playing standard DVDs, the Panasonic DMP-BD35 is an excellent choice. In addition to solid performance...

Review: A $100-cheaper alternative to the excellent Panasonic DMP-BD55, the Panasonic DMP-BD35 differs from it only slightly. It lacks the BD55's 7.1 analog audio out. But it works pretty well overall. I personally have to confess that I jumped on the HD ...

Pros: Quality video and sound.

Cons: None!, well yet anyway.

The Bottom Line:

Love, love, love this player! 

Review: I recently upgraded my standard satellite receiver to a Dish Network ViP722 HD-DVR that offers up to 55 hours of recorded HD programming.  Along with the HD-DVR, I also acquired a Sony BRAVIA XRB 32-in LCD HDTV.  Two HD components ...

Pros: Great audio and superior picture

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: I am sure I will be quite happy with my first blu-ray player for a very long time to come.

Review: About a year ago, I started wandering through electronics stores more frequently, ogling the HDTVs.  Along the way, I saw the ads showing off scenes from blu-ray releases, and my jaw was always on the floor in envy.  As soon as I bought my TV, ...

Pros: Inexpensive, full-featured, good video and audio quality, built well for price.

Cons: Resume doesn't always work.  Outdated by new models.

The Bottom Line: The BD35 has performed well for us and is an excellent value.  Outside of a couple nuisances, such as disc resume issues, I love it. 

Review: This model offers an excellent compromise between price and performance.  I bought into DVD at about the same point of maturity at about the same price.  That is, the start of a generation of players that have most, if not all, bugs worked ...

Pros: Design, remote

Cons: Speed

The Bottom Line: While not a leap forward, this unit is certainly a step in the right direction.

Review: This past weekend I had the chance to play around with and watch a few movies on the new Panasonic DMP-BD35k Blu-ray player.  While there are still many improvements that I would like to see in both the players and in the video, this player is one ...

Pros: Simple, 1080/24p video output and provides full audio codec decoding!

Cons: Not analog outputs, no DVD-Audio or SACD decoding.

The Bottom Line: A great, low-cost Blu-Ray player.

Review: I bought the first gen Blu-Ray Panasonic BD-10 when it first came out for $925 and I'm very glad I did.  I've had it for two years and it has worked flawlessly.  But that first gen player lacked one important feature - DTS-Master Audio (DTS-MA) ...
