Panasonic DMP-BD60K

Excellent image quality with Blu-ray movies ; Profile 2.0-compliant ; onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio Essential ; access to YouTube and Picasa ; Amazon On Demand streaming coming in May

Competitors offer more next-generation features like built-in Wi-Fi, Netflix streaming, and onboard memory ; operational speed slow compared with newest players

The Panasonic DMP-BD60 offers excellent image quality and reliable Blu-ray playback, but it doesn't have as many features as the competition.

From our perspective, the Panasonic DMP-BD35 was a landmark for the Blu-ray format, as it was the first standalone player we could wholeheartedly recommend, earning the Editors' Choice award. The Panasonic DMP-BD60 is the successor to the DMP-BD35...

Panasonic DMP-BD60K

The DMP-BD60K is an excellent Blu-ray player available at a very reasonable price. And while it doesn't have all of the features offered by some of the competition, the build quality and performance is better than most. If you're ready to take the ...

1080p true HD Blu-ray player, 1080p upconversion of existing DVDs, 7.1 channel surround sound, SD card support, Plenty of I/O options, including Ethernet

The Panasonic DMP-BD60K Blu-ray player is an update to their DMP-BD35K 1080p HD Blu-ray player. The lack of Netflix streaming is offset by the fact that Panasonic has announced that Amazon Video On Demand in now available for the DMP-BD60K. The...

Panasonic DMP-BD60

By Robert Heron

Panasonic's DMP-BD60 ($299.95 list), the successor to the company's previous entry-level player, the DMP-BD35, adds YouTube streaming, Picasa Web Album access, and some other multimedia features. But otherwise, its price, performance, styling, and ...

1080p24 DVD upconversion. Google-based online multimedia features. Quick-start feature improves start-up time. Very energy efficient

1080p24 DVD upconversion feature needs to be manually activated. Optional memory required for BD-Live support. Quick-start feature increases standby power consumption

The Panasonic DMP-BD60 adds YouTube and Picasa Web Albums to its list of online multimedia abilities, but it's otherwise a clone of its predecessor.

The Panasonic DMP-BD60 isn't a compelling upgrade for owners of the DMP-BD35, although its support of Google's YouTube videos and Picasa photo service are welcome additions. The included remote control is in Panasonic's standard baton style,...

Panasonic DMP-BD60

By Ian Morris

The DMP-BD60 Blu-ray player is a corker, offering a simple but stylish design, awesome picture quality and good online functionality. It's not the fastest-loading player available, but, if you want minimum fuss and maximum quality, you won't go far ...

Good picture quality ; Viera Cast functionality has promise ; simple but pleasant design

Not that cheap ; no 7.1 analogue audio output

The Panasonic DMP-BD60 is a capable and likeable Blu-ray player. We love the simple styling, even if it is unexciting, and we think this is likely to be a really popular machine. DivX support and an SD card reader add to the features, but this player ...

We can only hope that Panasonic is making enough of its DMP-BD60 players, priced at around £250, to go around this time. DesignLike all Panasonic hardware, the DMP-BD60 is a stylish-looking machine. Conclusion Like every Panasonic Blu-ray player...

Panasonic DMP-BD60

The BD-60 can be hacked to play multi-region Blu-rays so you can buy them when your on your holidays with no worries

Performance ; Viera Cast functions ; Multiregion capabilities

No multichannel analogue

The BD60 is yet another solid piece of Blu-ray hardware from Panasonic, and this hacked version, despite a quite fi erce mark-up, could be a worthwhile investment for avid disc importers

Panasonic DMP-BD60

We put Panasonic's new Blu-ray spinner through its paces to see if it can fill the huge high-def shoes of its predecessor

Produces super-slick Blu-ray images. Doubles as a very good DVD player. Neat Viera Cast functionality

Are quicker disc loading times too much to ask

Panasonic DMP-BD60

Excellent image quality, sleek and attractive design, lots of useful inbuilt features

Unhelpful on-screen displays

On all counts, the Panasonic DMP-BD60 is a well-made Blu-ray player, and it ranks among the best Blu-ray players you can buy today. Highly recommended.

The Panasonic DMP-BD60 might cost a bit more than the other top-tier Blu-ray Disc players on the market, but in our opinion it's worth it. In our image-quality tests, the Panasonic DMP-BD60 handled everything well, from bright colours in Pixar...

Panasonic DMP-BD60

panasonic dmp-bd60 review: The Panasonic DMP-BD60 is a capable and likeable Blu-ray player. Overall, it's a great performer and, though not the cheapest, it's worth the money.

Good picture quality ; Viera Cast functionality has promise ; Simple but pleasant design

Not that cheap ; No 7.1 analog audio output

Like all Panasonic hardware, the DMP-BD60 doesn't look particularly exciting, but it certainly won't upset the style dynamic of your lounge

We can only hope that Panasonic is making enough of its DMP-BD60 players, priced at AU$549, to go around this time. Design Like all Panasonic hardware, the DMP-BD60 doesn't look particularly exciting, but it certainly won't upset the style dynamic...

Panasonic DMP-BD60

The excellent 'BD60 continues Panasonic's fine tradition of simply sensational entry- level Blu-ray players

Produces striking Blu-ray images; a good DVD upscaler; fully loaded with features; excellent value for money

Sounds a little on the bright side

Panasonic DMP-BD60

US Note: This is an automatic translation. The text can differ from the original review.

The Blu-ray player DMP-BD60 from Panasonic is a true Internet talent. With him you get video clips from "YouTube" or the weather on the TV screen - without a computer .

very good picture and sound, all played in the Test CD, DVD, and Blu-ray bursts, an Internet connection, USB port, SD memory card reader, play HD camcorder Recordings ;

long waiting times while reading from CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays, no WLAN ;

The Panasonic DMR-BD60 make good catch. The Blu-ray player will spoil your eyes and ears with an outstanding home theater quality. Even if there is no disc in the drive, you can with pictures and videos from the Internet splendidly entertained
