I too have long sought, compared, weighed Details ... The choice was between the Panasonic, the Samsung BD-F7500 and the Philips BD7700. What then has led me among others to buy the Panasonic, were the two HDMI outputs, one for the tone, one for the image. The decision was / has been the right one. The sound and the image are outstanding. The RCU is the Knüller..WLAN works super..ich had no problems installing the player with all its features and set up. Surprised, I'm also how quiet the player performs his duties, whether CD, DVD or Blu Ray..wie quietly but big mouth closes. Not quite so perfect this giant flap is using a USB Sticks..klasse But, this variety of playback formats. Connection to the home network via dLAN also works perfectly with me. The 3D function I can not still use, so I can say this, still nothing. The Panasonic is all that perfect sound (7.1), films with rich image reproduction and brilliant sound when playing CD..lieben ... strong buy recommendation.
