The Panasonic DMP-BDT700 infected when it comes to price / performance, the bar very high when it comes to picture and sound processing when playing silver discs (CD, DVD, BD). The device is technically up to date and includes a THX certificate (home theater TÜV) making it perfect andereren THX zuspielt certified devices (projector, TV, AV receiver). But what is for the device in the further processing chain is no obligation to have a technical THX loss! The special features of the DMP-BDT700 has a very streamlined menu, as befits a high end device. Two dedicated switchable HDMI 2.0 ports (of course, downward compatible), one only for the video signal to the TV with up to 4K resolution and the second HDMI only with the High Resolution sound to the AV receiver. For this, a 192kHz upsampling comes with sound preparation for pure music playback of MP3 (Internet Radio, USB, SD card slot, NAT server) or CD. A nice little bonus here is a switchable Late Night mode, z. B. in DTS playback, a rock / pop, jazz, classical mode, and six tube amp simulations for fat tube sound. Now to a few points, the notorious complainers could discourage buying. As would be the first Internet functionality for all those who need a huge app selection, which does not exist. All others will be satisfied with the high-end concept, because the most necessary of apps is available! Next is a simple, yet elegant-looking plastic housing list. Who here would like sheet, it will be held on the housing base. Otherwise is to say, it is not to one of these thin-walled plastic housing the lower and middle price range, acts in spite of everything on the shelf classy and has probably Constructive reasons to damp resonances. Last but not least what our VCD and SVCD Video As Eastern friends. These are sure to be disappointed that this player will not replace your old unit in the rack, although he owns the video processing capability to even the old DVDs effortlessly convert into a clean, crisp 3D images with the finest, treated clay. PS: Another addendum. Buyer necessarily a min. Order the 1GB SD card if BD Live is to be used. As for DVD playback, with me not in 4K but 720p to 1080p, just top. I Matrix and Odyssey 2001 viewed on the Panasonic in 3D and the picture quality is just great, even if the unit outputs the format only in 720p. (21/05/2015 Here I need to install a Correction lot to me only now on in George A. Romero classic, DVD, Euro-Cut The movie is. 16: 9 aspect ratio, a bit dated, and the players are a very noble. crisp sharply upscaled from 1080p / 50Hz image! The best picture at this 30 year old film I have ever seen on a BD player.) Frankly more picture is not on the DVD and can Witches none of the devices. In 2001 Odyssey has the BDT700 3D impression Kubrick would even then built the scenes foresight for 3D conversion and the Panasonic masters even of the DVD something else a postproduction company laboriously reworked where everything in hand. The image quality in the example 2001 by DVD corresponds in my opinion the loose what you get served as HD television on television. For BD playback. I want the film to Child Protection Laws do not call (AM), a low budget horror, you could, unlike my predecessor device, after all Egg 280 Euro MSRP Sony BDP590, recognize very well the image that Bodymodifications the actors are special effects. On my old Sony could hold for the real mask thoroughly. Since there stop but differences. As for the image setting, even though I could not tell the difference from Cinema directly in all these films Cinema Finest on a Full HD TV (THX certified) were with image in 3D THX Cinema or THX Cinema. One more thing to separate output of the audio bitstream via the second HDMI output to the AV Reiceiver without video. (Please Secondary Audio admixture of Audiokomentaren off on all BD players, otherwise PCM multichannel output and also encoded on perfectly ordinary Dolby Digital down at worst Dolby HD.) On my THX Certified AV Receiver on the player via HDMI automatically when CD or Internet radio , ie PCM stereo signal output, and optionally one of Musikaufbereiter the player, the receiver the THX Loudness Plus function from and Audyssey room acoustic correction in the THX Music Mode. If on the remote control instead of THX Music pure Dolby ProLogic II Music or DTS: elected NEO6 Music with Audyssey Dynamic Volume and DynamicEQ, these are automatically deactivated. Actually a brilliant feature and the volume control behaves again as in the good old stereo. ;) As for the playing of files from the NAS a router I can not connect other here. After entering the Samba server and the folder I can access music, photos and video access there. The only thing checked, but is with me on the router, is in very large FLAC and MP3 files that I had to replace the old, lame USB stick to a USB hard drive. Here is the wisest course of action a 128GB SD card and CD collection as FLAC to disc Skåne copied it, then they will also do justice to the device even if it processed 128kBit / s MP3 magical. The Internet Radio app seems a bit dusty and lean at first glance, but it can be the Stream URLs from the Internet googled manually enter. He replaces from the convenience not a 500 to 700 Euro Internet Radio, but the Klangaufbereiter gives a good foretaste of such devices.
