 Solid Panasonic Performance! |

Many of these Panasonic players including mine suffer from random freezes that last between 5-6 seconds and then resume during blu-ray movie playback.
So far Pansonic has NOT be able to come up with a fix for this.
If you don't mind this possible problem the rest of my review still stands.
Unfortunately for me I found this random freezing to be annoying and unacceptable.
Panasonic has once again come up with a solid performance player!
I choose the Panasonic 80 after a very through and grueling side by side comparison with it's main competitor, the Sony S-550.
The Sony and Panasonic player's PQ where both overall very good on blu-ray playback.
The Panasonic had a very slight edge over the Sony, in producing a more COLORFUL picture with more 3-D POP EFFECT.
Sound quality reproduction between the two players using the 7.1 analog connections was much more dramatic.
Both Panasonic and Sony player's produced an excellent 7.1 sound field, but the Sony suffered from a lower LFE output than the Panasonic, both at the same settings and volume.
The Sony 550 required a +15 SW increase from my receiver, and still did NOT sound as POWERFUL and DYNAMIC as the Panasonic 80 at +10.
All players suffer from LFE drop using analog connections, but the Panasonic clearly had the edge in the sound department using the analog connections.
BOTTOM LINE: If you are looking for a high performance affordable blu-ray player, and have an older non HDMI AV receiver, this is the player to get.
You can also take advantage of the High clarity output on the Panny 80 if you have a newer HDMI receiver, or opt for the cheaper Panny 60 player.
Either way you won't be disappointed by Solid Panasonic Performance. |
