The DMP-BD30 is the next generation High Definition 1080p Blu-ray Disc player. It is the first Blu-ray player to be introduced with Final Standard Profile, which adds a variety of new and enhanced features to the Blu-ray arena and one that separates the Panasonic Blu-ray player from the rest of the field. Also unique to the DMP-BD30 is the inclusion of an SD Memory Card slot for playback of High Definition content recorded in the AVCHD format. The SD slot also allows for viewing of digital still images recorded to an SD Memory Card.Final Standard Profile is an advanced function added to the Blu-ray standard, which opens the door to new functions such as Picture-in-Picture (which displays a second image in a sub window) and Audio Mixing (allows the consumer to switch the sound between the main and sub windows).The inclusion of a multi-function SD Card slot is another new addition to the Panasonic Blu-ray player. Coupled with the AVCHD codec, the DMP-BD30 allows for images recorded on a high capacity HD SD card to be outputted directly from the player's HDMI terminal in their original 1080p form. To further benefit the user, the DMP-BD30 provides an AVCHD Direct Navigator function that makes it easy to search for particular scenes. The player can also play back JPEG still images on an SD card, such as those recorded with a Panasonic Lumix digital camera. The DMP-BD30 converts the images to 1920x1080 resolution, ideal for viewing on a1080p HD Plasma and output them through the HDMI terminal.Like its predecessor, the DMP-DB30 features the EZ-Sync HDAVI Control that allows the consumer to operate their Panasonic home theater system with one remote. With one touch of the EZ-Sync button, all the components turn on, the correct TV input is chosen, the TV's built-in speakers are muted and the home theater starts playback.

Summary: Excellent player-solid performanance!
Comment: I've owned this player since January'08 and absolutely love it! If you are looking for a standalone player to primarily watch movies, with all of the sound processing capabilities you could ask for, and the stability to play all BD's, this one is it. This receives excellent reviews across the board. I own several hi-def and regular DVD players, and with the current price tag, you cannot go wrong. I own over 350 hi-def movies and have never had a problem. Easy updates for firmware, too. Excellent value, quality company. Do not hesitate to purchase this player.

Summary: Uses 45nm LSI with 250m transistors. Best BD player that handles bit stream output of all the latest music formats
Comment: I own three BD players, one HD-DVD player, Denon 7.1ch amp, 7.1 ch Bose speakers, and etc.
First, this player has both the most advanced logic semiconductor technology and very good software algorithm that enable lower noise but vivid graphics and high-quality sound. I tested using blu-ray test sample disks distributed from DTS and Dolby, and found that this player has the least block decoding noises, while the vividness of the color is the best of all. Its controller is not the best but very good enough.
I use this player at the main audio/video room. I highly recommend this to people who are thinking about future upgrade of AV amp that can handle DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD bit stream. You will be definitely amazed by the quality of music (particularly compared with music CD) from which you can feel the touch of string of acoustic guitar and complex harmonic overtone from saxophone and piano, as if you were listening to the live concert. You need to check the quality of the source, though. I used the reference disks, one of which has amazing high-quality performance of Chieli Minucci. Personally I am 200% sure that BD's biggest surprise for me was the huge improvement of music quality, which you cannot expect from your cable/satellite HD channels.
One downside that I have for ALL the current BD players is that it takes too long to start up the menu. It might be unavoidable as the system is now getting more closer to PC and using flash memory to shorten the time may eventually increase cost. That said, from consumers' viewpoint shorter wake-up time seems to be important. It just does not feel good.

Summary: Panasonic does it again....
Comment: First of all I own two Panasonic DVD recorders, one of them I've recorded over 800 DVD-R movies on without a single problem so I'm a Pana fan. I researched the reviews here on Amazon and the BD-30 looked good to me so I ordered one. Got it about a week ago with the recommended HDMI 1.3 cable and hooked it up to my 72" Toshiba DLP TV. Turned it on, put in "Full Metal Jacket" and set back and was amazed for the next two hours. I've since viewed a few Blu-Ray disks and the BD-30 has been flawless, absolutely zero problems with it. What nobody has mentioned (at least I didn't see it) is the SD card JPEG pictures it produces. I kinda expected the pictures to be grainy blown up to a 72" screen size but I have a 7 Meg camera and the pictures were stunningly clear and have beautiful color. To me this is a nice bonus feature and I'm sure if I buy a Hi-Def camcorder that records on SD cards, it will knock my socks off. Anyway, I'm glad I waited until the bugs were worked out and the prices dropped on Blu-Ray players and I'm very happy with Panasonic equipment and highly recommend this player.

Summary: BD is Great
Comment: Moved up to a full HD system recently including the purchase of this BD player. It is amazing how nice the picture is coming from a BD player. Can't really compare the unit to anything other than a DVD on an old tube TV; so, I don't have a lot to go on other than the picture looks incredible. The Planet Earth series has been amazing. The unit has easy connection to my Panasonic HDTV and seems to communicate with the TV, e.g. when I start playing a disk, it automatically switches the TV input to the player - nice feature. Remote seems descent enough. Construction quality seems good so far.

Comment: I purchased a reconditioned pansonic unit. I'm very satified. After reading reviews this unit seems to have the best bang for the buck.
