VIERA CAST technology is also available in the DMP-BD60. The internet enabled technology lets you access the internet without the need of either an external box or a PC and enjoy the entertainment value provided by such targeted sites as Amazon VOD, with an extensive library of streamed titles, YouTube™, Google’s Picasa™ Web Album , Bloomberg and a weather channel. The DMP-BD60 includes an SD Memory card slot and USB slot, making it easy for the consumer to view and share both digital still images and HD video recorded with an HD camcorder in the AVCHD format.
In order to produce the ultimate picture quality, Panasonic’s Blu-ray players employ high precision 4:4:4 signal technology, which working in tandem with PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus processes each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc video signal in the horizontal direction, to compliment vertical direction processing. P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD) is another technology that contributes to the superior picture quality of the Blu-ray players. P4HD processes more than 15 billion pixels per second and applies the optimal processing to every pixel. Panasonic’s Blu-ray players further utilize 16-level motion detection to categorize the image motion of each pixel into one of 16 levels; diagonal processing to detect diagonals and correct the pixels accordingly; 1080p up-conversion to up-convert content recorded in the 480i/p or 720p format to 1080p. The Blu-ray players also provide 1080/24p output, thereby reproducing cinema images from a Blu-ray Disc and DVD in their original 24p form with no need for conversion. This allows the user to enjoy cinema images in the same format used in cinema with a 1080/24p compatible TV.
Complimenting the HD audio codecs the DMP-BD60 features 96kHz surround re-master, a function that enhances the sound quality of CDs and other sources, and even improves the quality of the multi-channel audio data on Blu-ray Discs and DVDs.
In order to obtain a reduction in power consumption the DMP-BD60 use Auto Power Stand-By, a function that automatically turns off the player when you return to TV operation using the VIERA Link menu. In addition, the Stand-by Power Save automatically turns off the player’s Quick Start function. When VIERA is turned on, Quick Start also turns on. In addition, the development of the UniPhier® single chip LSI makes it possible to pack an entire video signal processing circuit onto a single chip. This helps lower power consumption, reduces the number of parts needed and allows for a more compact design. The BD60 consumes 16% less power in standby mode than last year’s model, the DMP-BD35.

Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player:
We use this product for Blue Ray and even tried the older dvd's. They look great. The only thing I don't like is the fact that it loads slowly. If load time is not an issue for you then its a great deal.

Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player:
I am an enthusiast, but do not have a lot of time to play around and tweak things. This player was great right out of the box. No hassels. I am using it with a Samsung 57" DLP-LED set and the picture is outstanding both with up-verted DVD as well as BD.

Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player:
Nice unit... Be careful of your pricing at this model is on its way out the door. Most of the "other" major distrubtors have this unit for [$]So, OneCall needs to lower that price to be fair to other customers.

Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player:
the only thing bad is it is very sensitive to dirty or scratched dvd's and it will stall/stutter.

Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player:
Great player for me and the family. We're not very tech oriented. We just wanted a quality player for movies. So far so good. I had panasonic equipment years ago when i was in college and was very satisfied so I took a shot with this player and we haven't been disappointed. I'd recommend it for someone who just wants to play movies.

Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player:
Just installed ..and have connected to my new 63" Samsung Plasma. The picture of the typical DVD looks excellent. I don't particularly see the big difference in "BluRay" ...I purchased Ironman ..the picture is excellent, but it looks just as good as my other DVD's .... which is exactly what I was looking for...
Good Price Value as well.

Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player:
I find disc loading times to be bit long, but this is my first Blu-ray player, and I can't compare the DMP BD-60 to other brands/models. Superb picture quality - does a great job of upconverting ordinary DVD's. Remote is OK; no control codes for Visio flat-screens given in manual (why not?), but was able to find a code that worked in an on-line forum.

Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player:
Have been watching reviews of blu-ray players for 6 months now and Panasonic has come out at the top for affordable players. So picked up this one and have been happy. Haven't had very long but satisfied so far. Hook up was easy with HDMI cable.

Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player:
Great picture and sound with my 720p panel. I can set the player for 1080p and the panel accepts the resolution. My receiver does not decode Dolby HD but the sound quality is leaps above my previous non-Dolby HD player.

Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player:
Load time much improved over earlier models
Using bit-rate to Marantz Sr-7002 works flawlessly
Remote codes did not work when downloading to universal remote on Logi-techs site. This may be Logitechs problem. Manually learned codes.
Finally a BLU-Ray player without HDMI issues. Unless one needs the analog out buy this intead of the more expensive model. Reccomended
