Visually perfect - operation to get used to

Picture / Sound
The picture is perfectly usual and in addition the menu varied set. In fact, here can still achieve small improvements, therefore useful. The tone settings, eg. As diverse Röhrenmodi, produce a modified sound, its meaning seems to me questionable. A matter of taste and more for hobbyists and game natures.

Building
The player surprised with its extremely small dimensions and looks very stylish. For use in a rack, the device is hardly suitable. The operation on the housing via keys that are attached to the surface and re-register operating acoustically. The switchable lighting feeder like is not too light and also can be switched off if required.

The activation on approach is a feature that caused at least for our children for enthusiasm. Nice, a real benefit does not seem to be associated with it, however.

Drive noise are clearly audible at catchment and when reading; after the player runs quietly. The insertion (slot-in) works perfectly and quickly. Reading time and response to control commands are noticeably faster than my previous Samsung.

Panasonic has unfortunately saved the second HDMI output. Users of 3-D BlueRays should remember that they possibly can not address more TV and amplifier in parallel.

Remote
Those who had been struggling with the touchpads on laptops is wrong here. The control over the touchpad often leads to incorrect entries, many important keys can not be selected in direct access. About the Keys "button, a virtual keyboard appears on the TV, the buttons but also needed is not made available immediately.

To the Top Menu "to get the pressure on Keys is" necessary, then either wipe 2 x or more 2 x Keys Press "go for the then virtually appearing button using the touchpad and again tapping on the touchpad. For cheerful natures, gamblers and very Patient suitable - for all other not The thing is already in the drawer, I use my Harmony..

Conclusion
The purchase price is justified in the design and originality. If that like, can safely access. Price / performance fans grab here rather for smaller "220-size model or directly select a device from another manufacturer, who has not saved the second HDMI terminal.
