Panasonic DMP-B15

 

One of three nominees for best product in the Home Video category at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Panasonic's new $799 DMP-B15 is the world's first portable Blu-ray player. Of course, savvy electronics consumers are probably asking...

Can double as a player for your home entertainment system; LAN connectivity enables firmware updates; BD-LIVE content; Web video via Viera Cast

Expensive; bulky and heavy; swapping discs while the device is mounted to a headrest is a hassle

A surprisingly multipurpose movie machine, the biggest problem with Panasonic's portable Blu-ray player is its price.

Review: Panasonic DMP-B15 (Portable Blu-ray Player)

 

Hard to believe Blu-ray has been out for nearly 3 years. What's even harder to believe is we haven't seen a portable Blu-ray player. Sure there have been Sony laptops capable of playing the format, but no standalone player. Now Panasonic has become the...

beautiful picture ; different mounts ; plays DVDs ; supports BD-live ; comes with car charger ; The Bad

chunky design ; poor battery life (thank goodness for car charger) ; long load times ; costly ($799 USD )

Panasonic’s DMP-B15 is a slick unit. It’s nicely designed (although a bit chunky), plays beautifully and is an absolute joy to watch. While I loved it, I can’t ignore two big issues, battery life and cost. It’s clear this player is not for the mass...

Beautiful player

I think everyone else has already said all the good stuff. One thing... it initially kept freezing while trying to play Avatar. I plugged in the ethernet, logged on and upgraded the firmware from version 1.1 to 1.6. Everything is smooth-running now.

Can't play video files off SD card

Am I missing something on this? I had hoped to play video files off of the SD card, but it seems it only works for pictures and video recorded on a panasonic camera (so no commercial video files). The instructions are a bit confusing, with the file...

Portable Bluray player

The quality of this Bluray player is outstanding. It straps to the back of the front car seats, which puts the screen at eye-level. It only accomodates one set of head phones. Two would be better. The price tag right now is very high, but if you want...
