Panasonic DMP-BD 80 Thread - Blu-ray Forum

Stephan.klose · 03-24-2009, 07:19 PM

Hi, we received the Players today at work. Both the 60 and the 80 Series. I immediately bought an 80 Model.

I used to have a Samsung BD-P 1400. With that one I could update the Firmware via a CD.
The Manual of the Panasonic only says about how to download it directly. My player isn't connected to the internet though. So, how Do I update it without being connected to the Internet?
Despite that it's a great machine.
I checked out the 80 at great lengths today at work. Then I decided to get the 60 because it's basically the same thing just without the Analogue Connectors. But then I noticed a small function. The 80 can Display the Bitrate of both the Audio and the Video, which the 60 can't. That to me, was worth the extra 80€...

I brought it back today in exchange for a Pioneer BDP-51 FD.

The Panasonic had severve Playback Issues with "Max Payne". The Sound had constant dropouts.

If you are considering the purchase of this player I would wait for the first FW Update!
