Found the Panasonic DMP-BD10's owner's manual online!!! - Blu-ray Forum

bferr1 · 09-24-2006, 02:26 PM

I found it through Panasonic's global site, then searched for owner's manual downloads in US, Australia and United Kingdom. Found it under UK, but it appears to be the US manual, as there are references to US telephone numbers and warranty information.

Here's some interesting points I zeroed in on:

"Discs that cannot be played: BD-R, BD-RE v1/v2." (p. 5) Can someone add some insight into what this means?

"If the audio track of the disc was recorded with Dolby TrueHD, it will be output as Dolby Digital audio. If the audio track of the disc was recorded with DTS-HD, it will be output as DTS audio." (p. 5) So, unlike the Toshiba initially, there seems to be no two-channel limitation on DTHD. However, all channels are output as DD. I'd like to see that firmware upgraded, please.

Whoops, this player has a two-channel limitation on DD, DD Plus and DTS when internally decoded as PCM. Otherwise, full bitstreams are output. "Select how to output the signal. If 'Bitstream' is selected, the bitstream is output from the unit and the connected equipment decodes the signal. If 'PCM' is selected, this unit decodes the signal and output it as 2 channel from DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal." (p. 22) Can a DD+ bitstream be output to and decoded by any receiver?

This player has selectable squeeze or stretch modes for 4:3 content on a 16:9 television. (p. 22) The Toshibas and later-build Samsungs pillarbox only, early Samsungs stretch only.

How can I get this file uploaded so you guys can see it???

Tick the box "I accept", then click Download.

Thanks! Every time I tried to retrace my steps, I'd end up with "No manual found," so I thought it had become a dead link. I figured uploading the manual was the only other solution.

It sounds to me that they might be only limiting 2CH via Coax and Optical out. You will notice, it says "this unit decodes the signal and output it as 2 channel from the DIGTAL AUDIO OUT terminal". Doesn't mention anything about the analog out or HDMI out.

Whoops, no HDMI cable included! I know most people like to use their own cable rather than the supplied one, but still, Samsung can include one for $999 and Toshiba can include one for $499 and $799. For $1299, Panasonic should not only include an HDMI cable, it should be one of those fat Monster ones.

It means that I scratch this player of my list of options.

BDR + BDRE playback is a must have for me.
