Panasonic DMP-BDT210





REVIEW : - Panasonic DMP-BDT210

 

It is difficult to stand out in the Blu-ray player market, considering the mid-range models, which comes with main features such as : built-in Wi-Fi, Netflix streaming, and superb image quality. Although the Panasonic DMP-BDT210 does not have any single awesome function that puts it surpass the competition, it actually does almost all the small things correct.

 

Design

There is not much to the outer design of the DMP-BDT210, which features a standard shiny black front panel. The real design sparkle on the DMP-BDT210 is its hands-free disc sensor. When you have the option turned on, just wave your hand on top of the player and it opens up the disc tray. Yes, it's a lttle bit of a attention-grabber, but it can truly be a beneficial feature in a darkened home theatre where it is much easier to wave your hand than search for the eject button. However, if you do not need this features, then you can also disable it.

 

Furthermore, DMP-BDT210 included remote is fantastic. The control keys are organized well and we love that there were different buttons for instantly accessing both Viera Cast and Netflix. The DMP-BDT210 can also be operated by using an iPhone app; there is no Android application yet. It is a fairly standard remote application, but the major downside is that you cannot make use of a keyboard to enter text in streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Instant.

 

User interface

The home screen on the DMP-BDT210 is merely outlined, even though slightly unusual. Instead of using a cursor that moves over the different menu options, there is primarily an onscreen directional pad--press up and you jump right to the "network" section.

 

The Viera Cast interface is quite uncomplicated. The main screen has 7 big icons to select from, including the most widely used services such as Netflix, Amazon Instant, and Vudu. Even better, you can change the primary screen in the setup menu.

 

Features

The DMP-BDT210 comes with standard features for a midrange Blu-ray player, which includes built-in Wi-Fi and 3D Blu-ray support. Furthermore, there is no built in memory, which indicates you will need to place an SD card to run BD-Live features.

 

The player is DLNA-compatible; this means you can stream digital media files over your private home network. Supported digital media file formats normally include DivX, MKV, MP3, and JPEG. Digital media files can also be played off a attached USB drive.

 

In comparison with other companies, Panasonic's Viera Cast content website has the least streaming-media services, however it contains all the standard services (Netflix, Pandora, Vudu) and some standouts, such as Amazon Instant and Skype.

 

Connectivity

The DMP-BDT210 has the standard number of ports you will find on the majority of Blu-ray player. The major exclusion is the SD card slot, which Panasonic uses for BD-Live storage, however is also useful for popping in an SD card right from your digital camera and viewing pictures.

 

 

Conclusion:-

The Panasonic DMP-BDT210's built-in uncomplicated user interface, Wi-Fi, Amazon Instant streaming, & very-fast disc-loading speeds make it, the most popular Blu-ray player of 2011. You can purchase this device from Amazon at a price of $187.
