After several weeks of research and comparative, reading comments is the "DMP-BDT500EG" I stopped my choice, I do not regret anything today, after two months of use. This drive is of remarkable quality (awarded in various journals) Image is fabulous, the settings are multiple (I do not use all) and best of all, the sound is "audiophile" which gives you on a concert a prodigious result blu-ray, each note is restored to perfection, the sound invaded the room and all the sublime image. Panasonic Congratulations for this achievement at an affordable price (compared to 800 euros to pay for an equivalent model from another manufacturer) and thank you Amazon for its dissemination always with the same speed and quality. I recommend this product.
