I switched to this player from an earlier Samsung model. The Samsung almost turned me off from blu-ray completely, with its endless problems in playing blu-ray discs.
By contrast, this player is a pleasure.
It was extremely fast to set up. Plugged in the power (which, unlike many players, is a detachable power cord. This means if you are jamming the cord through a hole with a bunch of other cables, as I was, it is easy because you don't have to get the plug to go through the hole, just the small end of the cord). Plugged in an HDMI cable. Plugged in a network cable.
Turned it on. It asked a few questions. It discovered my network and connected without trouble. (It autodetects firmware updates, which is way nicer than my older player in which i had to burn firmware dvds and then go through a painful update process.)
It asked whether i wanted to have the instant on feature, which it kindly defaults to the greener "no" option.
And then, boom. Done. Popped in a blu-ray that failed on the samsung, loaded very quickly and started playing, with a very very crisp picture and lovely sound.
Haven't tried the bd live features yet (waiting for sd card to arrive), and it doesn't take sony memory sticks, butalready it has brought back pleasure into video viewing.
Because it supports DivX, I've also been able to get rid of a secondary LG player I had just for that purpose.
Altogether, I'm a happy camper and watching movies again. Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD80 High Clarity Audio Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.
