Had first tried an LG BP640 BluRay in which I, however, had problems with sound playback of DVDs on receiver. I let out the TV sound with HDMI ARC on the Receiver, the LG gabgs only a HDMI and an optical (limited) output. The 465EG has two HMDI outputs, you can switch to VideoOff and attach the Receiver, the other quite normal on a TV. Running noises are almost inaudible - as opposed to the LG BP 640th Loads in my opinion the DVDs much faster. Config screen menu is structured nice and logical. Is perhaps unfair, the two devices (LG BP640 and Panasonic BDT465) compare directly, because it is a different price category, but still
