Overview

Panasonic makes this slim disc player to up-convert standard DVDs to high definition and play Blu-ray discs. USB lets it read files from an external drive, and the compact body fits on thin media racks.

A small footprint and wide file support make it an easy add-on for a TV that lacks a disc drive. Dolby Digital audio passes through HDMI. Resolution is capped at Full HD, and the box lacks an HDMI cable.

Who it's for

Movie fans with a shelf of physical discs and a television with an HDMI input. Buyers wanting streaming apps or ultra high definition discs should choose a different player.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Plays Blu-ray and DVD discs
  • DVD up-conversion to 1080p
  • USB playback of MKV and MP4 files
  • Compact enough for thin racks
Cons
  • Resolution tops out at 1080p
  • No HDMI cable in the box
  • Single HDMI port
  • No streaming apps listed

Performance notes

The player decodes Blu-ray video in Full HD and up-converts standard DVD to the same output, so older discs gain some sharpness without reaching true high definition. USB playback relies on supported file formats. Audio quality depends on the receiver or TV that decodes Dolby Digital.
