Manufacturer's Description
The new Panasonic BD35 BluRay player is one of the first Profile 2 machines to be reeased on to the market. With features such as BD-Live*, it lets users access the Internet to download data such as images and subtitles, and to join in quizzes and multi-player interactive games that are linked to bonus movie content contained on Blu-ray disc. (*BD-ROM Profile 2. Actual functions vary depending on the Blu-ray disc media).

Features such as Viera Link allow easy operation of a Viera Link compatible TV and HiFi receiver with a single remote control, when all units are connected via HDMI.

The DMP-BD35 is also equipped with a card slot that makes it easy to transfer images from an HD camcorder or digital still camera that uses SD Memory Cards. Simply insert the card, and the DMP-BD35 fills a large-screen TV with AVCHD-format video images or JPEG stills in full 1920 x 1080 resolution.

Customer Reviews

Noisy player, great picture
Obvioulsly for the price, there cannot be too much to complain about. Picture clarity does depend on your TV also.

I found the player to be a good one, and easy to set up. The BD pictures are balanced and crisp, the sound through my speaker system is also excellent (although the AV sound system does not decode HD Sound signals as yet).

There are however downsides to this player. It is an excrutiatingly long wait for the player to turn on, load up and open up the disc drawer. I cannot fathom why! It is not like there is a Windows xp operating system to load? Also, I have found that for some reason, DVD discs are very noisy in the player. You can really here them spinning from across the room. However BD discs are absolutely fine. Strange, but I thought i should report it.

Overall, the price, and features at that price are excellent; just slow and noisy seems so to spoil the experience.

Great!
Received this a few days ago - normal excellent service from Amazon - and I'm delighted.

This player is easy to set up, Blu-ray pictures are superb (and my TV is HD-ready, not full-HD), and the HD sound is fabulous.

But the big and very welcome surprise to me is just how good this Panasonic plays standard DVDs. The quality is at least as good as my reference £900 Yamaha dedicated DVD player. Highly recommended.

A Panasonic Wonder with Profile 2 and Upscaling
Purchased to match a Panasonic 1080p Television after reading many reviews.
Consider connecting through HDMI not Component Video to utilise all the features. As usual these days a HDML lead is not included. The HDMI lead recommended by Amazon as a package is the one to get as some HDMI leads are wired differently and the Panasonic Viera Link will not work (my original didnt).
Profile 2 means you can connect to the Internet to do Firmware updates as new features are added.
As regarding Upscaling (rendering ordinary DVD to a higher quality if possible) the manual is a bit confusing as the default condition assumes connection by Component Video and you need to find the right menu to change this if using the superior HDMI connection.
The US import version of the BBC Planet Earth I am told is 1080p rather than 1080i if your TV supports the higher format whereas most UK Blu Ray discs are not yet showing the full potential of Blu Ray.
After watching full 1080p for a while and switching back to ordinary Freeview TV really emphasises the quality of this product.
