Purchase Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black


I have had the unit for just a few weeks and it performs flawlessly. Set-up was a breeze and, the remote is intuitive. I haven't tried the on line software(freeware, firmware) upgrade yet.

Buy Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black


Overall I've been happy with this player. It's my first blu-ray player, I looked at this and the new Oppo. I felt for the price the BD60 would be a good introduction. I've put it through it's paces today and am generally happy. PQ is very good and I thoroughly enjoyed the inaugural James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. Flipping to 24p was fantastic.... SQ I have some playing around but I'm confident I'll find the best way to integrate with my existing A/V kit.

Ease of use is good and plugging to the internet was a big factor for me to stay up to date on updates. Look and feel of the machine is good. My only complaint so far is the machine is a little sluggish on load times and flicking to the menus. The remote is also a little more complicated that I would've liked; but in all likelihood I'll be switching to a Harmony sooner rather than later.

All in all a good purchase, a very reasonable price and a good introduction to Blu-ray without all the bells and whistles.Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.

Buying Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black


I always joked that Blu-Ray and HD would be lost on me as I wear glasses and I never thought I'd be able to notice the difference between that and regular TV. How wrong I was!! This player was easy to install and within minutes I was able to see what I was missing.Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.

Cheap Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black


I purchased this product May 1 and use it with the Panasonic 42" plasma. The picture is amazing the detail and clarity are true to life and the viera link makes using one remote control user friendly. I would recommend this blu ray player.

Save Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black


Quick free shipping from Amazon - I received the player in two days after ordering with Amazon Prime.

I purchased the BD60 because of prior great experience with other Panasonic Blu Ray players which I own - the BD30 and BD55. I also didn't want to learn new setup menus with a new brand and could go to single site for firmware downloads.

The player I received was mfg in Feb 2009 and shipped with firmware version 1.1. Using a CD-R, I manually updated the firmware to version 1.7 (as of 6/5/09). (Note the player is capable of updating the firmware using an Ethernet connection to your Internet.)

As I have with my other Panasonic players, I use freeware Express Burn (nch.com.au) to create an ISO compliant CD-R data disk to update the firmware. However, after I put the CD-R in the BD60, I got a flashing message L DRV. About a few minutes later it ejected the disc and displayed a message UPD NG. In short the firmware update had failed due to the player not correctly reading the update disk and I was essentially stuck with a non-operable player in the firmware update mode. This error has been reported by others... Google BD60 UPD NG.

I was ultimately able to resolve the problem with creating a new firmware update data disk on a different PC using Roxio Creator DE. Roxio has been suggested by others. My Roxio CD write settings were TAO Open, Mode 1, ISO+Juliet, and Use Disc for Only One Recording.

Once I got past the firmware update snafu, the player operated flawlessly. Like my BD55 it plays standard DVDs with very good picture quality. The player appears to have good DVD up conversion to 1080p. It has all the capabilities of a good Blu Ray player for HDMI, 24p output, Dolby/DTS HD decoding, etc.

The player has some differences from the BD55. The BD60 has a quick start feature which provides power to the internal unit even when it's turned off (standby mode). Using this feature I noticed a startup time of about 8 seconds compared to 15 seconds. Note the player draws about 5W of power (so much for being Green) in standby mode with the quick start feature enabled, compared to 0.5W when you disable the quick start feature and 22W when it is operating.

The BD60 also has a USB port in addition to the SD card slot. The BD60 lacks the analog 5.1ch analog audio out connectors. I doubt if many people used the 5.1ch analog connectors and Panasonic eliminated them to reduce COGS. The BD60 also has some features (Viera Cast) to access content on the Internet, which I have not used.Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.

Low Price Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black


When it plays a disc its great, however, as bought the software is obsolete. The product reviews fail to tell the novice buyers that the Blu-ray software is not set but continues to change. Thus newer movies,2008, seem not to play with the loaded software. That is version 1.1. This new model is now up to a version 1.5 as 0f 3/26/2009. Unless you have your player tied to the internet or want to hope you can download the patch correctly to a disc the option is to wait for Panasonic to send you the disc patch. I am currently waiting to see if this is the fix and am concerned this will continue to be an issue. I regret my move to Blu-ray in its current unsable condition.Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.

Lowest Price Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black


I've had a DMP-BD55 in my front projection theater since Nov 08 - which is why I got this update of the BD35 for the family room LCD. I appreciate the fact that Panasonic does it's engineering in-house and makes it's own video processors instead of buying off the shelf.

Pros: Amazing PQ, both from Blu Ray disks and upscaled DVDs. Same goes for the AQ. This is why I bought it - not for the BD-Live, or any of the streaming BS which, IMHO, are waaaay over hyped. No need for the cost of wireless LAN, I'll just plug a cable into my router for firmware updates. As far as load times - I get an extra 30 seconds to pop my popcorn vs: other BD players. WHY do reviewers continue to manufacture such "controversy" about a 1/2 minute load time delta? Much ado about nada... Paid $220 at Amazon... Did I mention the Amazing PQ and AQ?

Cons: It doesn't serve coffee or scones. I... am... apoplectic...

Other Thoughts: A note about the BD60/80 implementation of DTS-HD Master Audio Essential instead of the full blown DTS-HD Master Audio. Per Home Theater Mag: "In Blu-ray, the most frequent use of DTS is lossless Master Audio, and you'll get that under either the original MA logo or the Essential logo. Neo:6 is a matrixed process designed to convert two-channel signals to surround, so it's never used in movies and therefore not a factor in either Blu-ray or DVD. 96/24 is mainly for high-res DVD music releases, but not too many of them. The only concern for movie buffs might be the downconversion of ES and ES Matrix soundtracks, the 6.1- and 7.1-channel versions of old-school lossy DTS, in DVD. If you desire to playback the full DTS technology feature set with a DTS Master Audio Essential player for either high-def or standard-def content, you can simply change the audio setup mode in your player to stream out over HDMI and let your DTS-HD Master Audio receiver decode the DTS 96/24, ES, ES Matrix, and Neo: 6."Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black Right now


We have this unit for c.a. 3 weeks.
I rate it 4.5 stars, so having no 4.5 choice I am giving it 4.
It works great and movies are played with a very high quality.
I love the pictures and all the other options. I only experienced one time freeze on this DVD, but then the movie resumed after a few seconds. However we did not test many B-R discs. We still mostly watch the DVDs, and now I read that freezing is an issue with other users.
Another small draw back is that it takes a while to "warm up", when you first turn it on compared to traditional DVD players.
The final area for improvement is the on-line option. You can only watch Youtube clips using this option, no other sites like Hulu.com etc.
Taken together it is a great unit for a great price, but the newer models will be probably even better.Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black Decide Now


I purchased one of these from Amazon, but was experiencing random freezing in Blu-ray discs. The disc would simply stop playing for approximately 10 seconds, and then resume as if there was no problem. I tried to replay over spots where I encountered the freeze, but was never able to duplicate it. After my 4th movie that froze, I returned the unit to Amazon and got a replacement. Even the replacement unit had this problem, so I shipped that one back too. [...]. So far, Panasonic has not issued any kind of statement or even acknowledged that this is a problem. I would highly recommend people look elsewhere for their player. I am highly disappointed, because this player had the potential to be a great, yet affordable, unit.

[...]

A quick summary of the facts on this problem:

1. The freezes are random. They don't occur in the same place in a movie. People have reported freezing in MANY movies, not just a select few. If a movie that froze in the past is viewed again, it may not freeze at all.
2. This problem occurs on the BD60 and the BD80.
3. Current firmware (1.7) does not resolve the issue.
4. People have been reporting what their unit is connected to (TV, receiver, etc), and it doesn't matter what it's connected to.
5. Manufacture date doesn't matter
6. Overheating is apparently not the issue. People have reported having plenty of space around the unit to keep it cool and it still occurs.
7. Several people have reported watching several movies without problems, and then having several consecutive movies freeze.
8. About a week ago, one of the editors from [...] that Panasonic MAY have seen the problem, and it has to do with the video buffer not being flushed properly. They didn't give any indication when a fix would be released, or how difficult it will be to resolve.

Edited on 07/28/09:
Firmware 1.9 has been released, and the problem still has not been resolved. Additionally, an editor from a well-respected home theater site has been in contact with Panasonic. According to him, Panasonic has stated that they have fixed all known freezing issues, and that they are unable to find this particular problem. It may still be quite some time before it is resolved. (Amazon edited out a link to another website before, so I don't want to post another link that will just be removed.)Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black Order Now


After doing a ton of research into Blu-Ray players, I decided to go with this one and have not been disappointed. It was on sale here for ~ $250 and I feel like it was a great deal.

I wanted a machine that would deliver excellent video quality to my TV and was not too concerned with all the latest "bells and whistles". Every Blu-Ray (Batman Begins, Taken, Enchanted, Iron Man, Bank Job) and standard DVD (Miracle) I have run thru it over the past couple weeks have looked and sounded fantastic!

Running the firmware update was a snap. Downloaded the software, burned it to a disc and ran it in the machine. It took maybe 5-10 minutes and worked as advertised. I haven't hooked it up to the Internet yet and don't know if I will. Perhaps when I find some compelling BD-Live content, but otherwise I'm not in a rush to bother with that. The Amazon HD Video-On-Demand is supposed to be available soon, so that might tip the scale a bit. Have to see, I guess.

All in all, I am very pleased with the product and highly recommend it, especially for someone looking for great video who is not necessarily concerned with tons of other features.Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.

This succeeded the 35K model and I'm scratching my head over why the 35K is being sold for over $300 as a 2008 model.

The 60K model is 2009, and according to CNET.com has the identical SD video performance as the 35K which was raved about in 2008, but CNET.com opines that the Samsung BRP-2500 is even better in SD performance. I bought the Pan 60K for $250 even though the Samsung 2500 was available for $300 and I will still rely heavily on SD DVD's for a long time so having Samsung's better SD performance would have been a smarter choice.

Other reviewers have a better understanding of 60K's features; I just play commercial Blu-ray and SD discs and my DVDR- discs.

In any event, the 60K is a solid Blu-Ray performer with Very Good SD performance, but most people would say the Samsung 2500 has a better features set and even better SD performance but cost $50-$80 more.

I actually have the 605K model (through Costco) which I'm told is the same as the 60K but has a HDMI cable included. Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black Best Quality


Had this unit for a couple of months now after owning a Sony BDP-S350 Blu ray and I can say this is a superior player in comparison. Load times are still a bit slow but having all audio formats decoded by the Panasonic makes it all worth it. The Panasonic SD upconversion is better and the dialog lift feature is very worthwhile for dialog rich movies. To sum up this is a solidly built Blu ray player with great audio and video plus all the features one would want in a Blu ray player.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black Immediately


I just purchased the Panasonic DMP-BD60 a couple of days ago. My criteria for purchase were as follows: great reviews from amazon, sound and vision award winner for the BD60's predecessor product the BD35 and finally a great price.

Here is a link to the award winning BD35 (Sound and Vision Magazine product awards April/May 09):
Panasonic DMP-BD35K 1080p Blu-ray Player

I had been using an upconverting HDMI output Sony DVD player which I bought a couple of years back. Until now, I had been fairly satisfied with the picture quality of the Sony. Not anymore. The Panasonic MP-BD60 blows it away in picture quality. I project on a 130 inch diagonal screen and the difference is easy to see. My regular DVD's look like high definition blu-ray discs! The upconversion is that good.

I was holding off my purchase thinking the Sony was good enough for my needs. Boy, was I wrong! The Panasonic is one solid performer as far as I am concerned.

Hooking the unit to the internet allows watching YouTube videos and Picasa photos. The first thing I did was update the firmware to the latest version (1.5 as of this writing). This took about 5-10 minutes and went without a hitch.

In conclusion, if you have a large DVD collection and want to watch it all in stunning 1080p, you will not go wrong with this player. For between $200 and $250 you will be getting an amazing player.Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.
