The editors didn't like
Image and audio quality mediocre
No onboard Dolby TrueHD decoding
Mediocre scaling when upconverting 480i to 1080p
Would not provide a good HDMI link with all displays
Dense
Poorly organized manual
The DMPBD30 lacks an Ethernet port
So you can't access Web features on Bluray discs
The lack of onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTSHD decoders means you need a receiver with the proper decoders to enjoy highresolution formats
Standarddef DVDs look good overall
But the picture is not quite as clean and detailed as we've seen on other Bluray players
Lacks network connection.
No built-in decoding for high-resolution audio formats
No Ethernet jack for firmware upgrades or future interactive content.

Excellent picture quality on Blu-ray discs; 1080p24 HDMI output; 1080p DVD upconversion; HDMI 1.3b-ready; outputs Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bitstream; Profile 1.1-enabled; SD card slot playback of HD video from AVCHD camcorders.
No built-in high-resolution audio decoding; no network jack for firmware upgrades or future interactive content.
The Panasonic DMP-BD30 offers excellent video quality and is Blu-ray Profile 1.1-compliant, but those who want high-resolution audio will need a new-gen A/V receiver.
Home-theater enthusiasts waiting in the shadows for Profile 1.1 and who arent too finicky about internet connectivity (like the tethering Profile 2.0) should see the BD30 as a welcome arrival. It isnt the most user-friendly of the lot, taking into ac...
Temps de chargement, Mise à léchelle des DVD convaincante, Mode 24p fluide, Compatible DivX (mais pas DivX HD), Lecteur DVD dezonable
Pas de port Ethernet, Pas de BDLive, BDProfile 1.1
Panasonic signe un bon lecteur blu-ray avec en plus la lecture des MP3, DivX et JPEG. Il gère tous les formats audio (décodage interne et/ou bitstream HDMI) et sa mise à léchelle est de bonne facture....

Les lecteurs de DVD haute définition Blu-ray sont en passe dêtre enfin compatibles avec le DivX. Le DMP-BD-30 sera à cet égard le premier lecteur Blu-ray de salon certifié DivX en Europe. Une bonne nouvelle. Aux Etats-Unis, les lecteurs Blu-ray Denon,...
Impeccable qualité d’image HD, belle dynamique audio/vidéo, compatibilité audio 7.1 HD via la sortie HDMI, compatibilité avec les bonus PIP en BD-Java, slot pour carte SD.
Pas de port Ethernet, pas de compatibilité SACD ou DVD-Audio, difficulté à lire certains disques (CD-R, DVD-R), pas de compatibilité BD-Live, désentrelacement basique, upscaling HD moyen, pas de décodeurs audio...
Panasonic lance en Europe, avec un peu de retard, son lecteur Blu-ray de 2ème génération. Successeur du DMP-BD10, le BD30 est appareil revu et corrigé, désormais conforme aux spécifications du BD Profile 1.1 (p...
