Panasonic DMP-BD30K Blu Ray Player Review:

The Panasonic DMP-BD30K Blu Ray Player utilizes UniPhier to reproduce crisp, natural colors. In addition, the Panasonic DMP-BD30K’s HDMI output is Deep Color compatible, with 4,096 steps of gradation for even smoother, finer-quality images so you can experience movies just the way they were meant to be experienced. The convenient SD card slot on the Panasonic DMP-BD30K Blu Ray Player allows easy viewing of hi-def videos and photos on your HDTV. Videos shot with a Panasonic HD camcorder are output in their original 1920×1080 resolution, while still images taken with a Panasonic Lumix digital camera are up-converted and output in 1920×1080 resolution. With EZ Sync HDAVI Control, you can control your Panasonic DMP-BD30K Blu Ray Player and all your home theater components with a single remote.

Images So Real, You Feel Like You’re in the Picture
Combining a PHL Reference Chroma Processor with advanced P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing) imaging technology, UniPhier — the Precise Digital Video processor — reproduces crisp, natural colors that are extremely faithful to the original movie. It does this by up-sampling the color information in decoded video signals, while the super high-speed P4HD up-converts content recorded in 480i/p, 720p or 1080i format to 1080p by correctly generating each pixel according to information drawn from up to 60 surrounding pixels. The image motion of each pixel is then categorized into one of 16 levels, from stationary to super fast. Image quality is further enhanced by Diagonal Processing, which creates smooth, sharp diagonal lines, and 3:2 Pull-Down, which optimizes the processing accordingly for film or video making the images look natural and lifelike. In addition, the Panasonic DMP-BD30K’s HDMI output is Deep Color compatible, with 4,096 steps of gradation for even smoother, finer-quality images that meet Hollywood’s stringent demands, so you can experience movies just the way they were meant to be experienced.

Incredible Sound Completes the Hi-Def Experience
With Precise Digital Audio, Panasonic DMP-BD30K Blu Ray Player’s beautiful images are complemented by exceptionally pure, accurate sound thanks to Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD. UniPhier’s advanced processing capability decodes these audio signals with high precision and outputs them in bitstream form with no degradation. It also brings re-mastering to Blu-ray for the first time, which compensates for data lost during the compression process creating a fuller, richer sound.

HD Networking with SD Card
The convenient SD card slot on the Panasonic DMP-BD30K Blu Ray Player allows easy viewing of hi-def videos and photos on your HDTV. Videos shot with a Panasonic HD camcorder are output in their original 1920×1080 resolution, while still images taken with a Panasonic Lumix digital camera are up-converted and output in 1920×1080 resolution1.

One-Touch Control from Your TV’s Remote
With EZ Sync HDAVI Control, you can control your Panasonic DMP-BD30K Blu Ray Player — and all your home theater components — with your TV’s remote2. Simply press the EZ Sync button and select “BD Player” on the menu screen; the BD player’s menu will be displayed and you can begin playback.
