Original movie quality in your living room
Through the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, Panasonic has collaborated with Hollywood filmmakers for more than 15 years to accumulate the know-how and expertise that are needed to achieve faithful color reproduction between original movie footage and Blu-ray media. This allows Panasonic to bring outstanding images that approach original cinema quality right into your living room. For example, your DMPBD80K has PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus, which is a high quality image-processing technology developed by Panasonic to precisely process each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc video signal in the vertical direction. It reproduces color data with twice the accuracy of conventional systems to keep colors faithful and sharp.

 

7.1-channel surround sound
While Pioneer's DMP-BD80K features built-in decoding technology for a variety of surround sound formats, two top the list: Dolby Digital TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio. These advanced technologies allow for decoding of the full HD 7.1-channel surround sound found on many Blu-ray Disc titles. Full 7.1-channel surround sound adds two side surround channels to standard 5.1-channel configurations, creating and even more realistic, enveloping audio experience. For those of you with older receivers, or who just prefer analog to digital audio, the DMP-BD80K offers integrated 7.1-channel multi-channel analog audio output

 

VIERA CAST and BD-Live
Because this model is compatible with the VIERA CAST function, you can access YouTube, Picasa, and other internet sites from the special VIERA CAST screen. YouTube lets you watch the newest video clips, and Picasa lets you view Web-based photos. You can also check weather and stock information on other sites. BD-Live brings you the next generation of interactivity, allowing you to download and stream bonus content such as additional scenes, shorts, trailers, movie-based games, and more. Keep up-to-date on ring tones/wallpaper downloads, gaming activities, and peer-to-peer interactions. For example, simultaneously view a movie and chat with your friend across the country about the plot, movie trivia, and more.

 

From the lens to the living room
After you've watched the special effect on your favorite Blu-Ray Discs, it's time to get back to what matters. Your home videos. Or pictures. The Region Free DMP-BD80K now allows you to watch your home movies and pictures in brilliant high definition. It upconverts JPEG images to full 1920 x 1080 resolution, something most DVD or Blu-ray players don't do. Just pop your SD card or DVD Disc directly from your Panasonic camcorder into this player, and you get to watch the family reunion in HD.

 

Blu-ray disc features
Blu-ray discs can store 25GB (single layer) or 50GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc — about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD. Blu-ray discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080 at 40 Mbit/sec). Large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Furthermore, a Blu-ray disc has the same familiar size and look as DVD.

 

Get the HD picture
You bought an HDTV with the finest quality video reproduction in mind. Time to materialize your mind's desires. The DMP-BD80K touts Panasonic's proprietary P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing — how's that for a tongue twister?). The P4HD samples over 15 billion pixels per second to create a detailed picture with lifelike textures. Plus it uses 16-level motion detection to ensure on-screen movement stays blur-free. Special processing is applied to diagonal lines to eliminate jagged edges, for smooth, realistic contours. The player's high-quality video digital-to-analog converter can reproduce over four trillion colors. Now that's just impressive.

 

Reduce cable pile-up with HDAVI Control
EZ Sync&trade HDAVI Control lets you operate all of your home theater components by pressing a single button on your TV's remote control. If you have even a moderately complicated home theater setup, you probably have a pile of tangled cables on the floor behind it. Imagine replacing all those cables with a single cable that carries both digital video and audio at the same time.

How "BD-Live" expands the movie-watching experience
Panasonic has been a leader in Blu-ray development since the format's launch. The key addition is an Ethernet port, which lets you connect the player directly to the Internet to access bonus material available on some Blu-ray movies.  You can stream this content to your HDTV via a broadband connection, and even save it to removable SD memory cards.

Picture quality that will please even demanding videophiles
The 'BD80's stunning picture is a result of Panasonic's exclusive video processing. It samples over 15 billion pixels per second to create a detailed picture with lifelike textures, and uses 16-level motion detection to ensure on-screen movement stays blur-free. Special processing eliminates jagged edges on diagonal lines, for smooth, realistic contours. If your HDTV accepts 1080p/24 video, the 'BD80's 1080p/24 output mode will provide the sharpest, most filmlike picture on Blu-ray movies.

Complete the high-def experience with the latest high-res surround sound formats
If you own a newer home theater receiver with advanced surround decoding, experiencing the state-of-the-art sound on Blu-ray discs is easy. Simply connect the DMP-BD80 to your receiver via HDMI for up to 7.1 channels of sound from Blu-ray movies with Dolby® Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD™, or DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio use "lossless" compression to deliver detailed sound that's identical to the movie studio's original master. And if your A/V receiver lacks HDMI, don't worry. This player's built-in decoding and 5.1 analog outputs make these high-res formats accessible to any receiver with a 5.1 input.

Features

Blu-ray Disc Overview: Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a high-definition disc format designed to take advantage of today's high quality HDTVs. The resolution is up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) and the data transfer rate is up to 40 mbps. Blu-ray Disc discs and players offer several advantages over the standard DVD format:

  • Better picture quality: Blu-ray Disc is a true high-definition format offering video at 720p, 1080i, or 1080p resolution. While standard DVDs look very good on an HDTV, they don't provide a high-definition signal (not even when you use an up-converting DVD player). Blu-ray Disc delivers an extraordinarily sharp, clean, detailed picture, with deeper, richer colors.

  • Better sound quality: In addition to the same multi-channel sound formats you're accustomed to with DVD (Dolby Digital and DTS), Blu-ray Disc offers Dolby Digital Plus and uncompressed 7.1 channel PCM.

  • Much greater storage capacity: What makes Blu-ray Disc's superior picture and sound possible is the much higher storage capacity of Blu-ray Disc discs. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25 gigabytes of data, over five times the amount a standard DVD can hold. Dual-layer Blu-ray Discs hold 50 gigabytes, which equates to nine hours of High Definition or 23 hours of Standard Definition video, plus high-resolution multi-channel audio and the added features and material that require multiple discs with standard DVD.

  • Compatibility with your current disc collections: To ensure backward-compatibility with your existing library of discs, Blu-ray Disc players use a dual-laser mechanism: a blue laser for playing high-definition Blu-ray Discs, and a conventional red laser for playing DVDs and audio CDs.

Future Compatibility: As Blu-Ray technology continues to evolve, new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In order for you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to update the firmware in your player. These firmware updates will become available for downloading from the Internet.

PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus: The Panasonic DMP-BD80 features technology that reproduces movies with colors that are exceptionally faithful to the original.  This advanced technology, incorporated in the unit's PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus video processor, was developed after more than 15 years of collaboration between Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory and professional cinema studios in Hollywood. With PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus, you can view content on Blu-ray Discs and enjoy crisp, vivid colors that are extremely close to the original.

P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD): Panasonic's P4HD processes more that 15 billion pixels per second to render high-quality progressive images, express motion smoothly, and draw sharp diagonal lines. The following makeup P4HD:

  • Precise Pixel Generator: pixel information is compared to as many as 60 surrounding pixels to ensure accurate progressive conversion

  • Motion Detection: 16-Level Motion Detection with Pixel-Based Motion Adaptive categorizes the image motion of each pixel into one of 16 levels, from still to super fast to best suit the motion, minimizing conversion errors

  • Diagonal Processing: P4HD detects diagonal lines and corrects each pixel accordingly

  • 3:2 Pull-Down: film sources are sensed instantly to optimize processing

  • 1080p Up-Conversion: through the HDMI output any disc can be output as 1080p

Video D/A Converter: The 148.5KHz/12-bit Video D/A Converter technology renders ultra-fine images with smooth gradation and reproduces crisp, natural colors that are extremely faithful to the original movie.

1080/24P HDMI Output: Many BD-Video movie contents are recorded in 24 frames per second in accordance with the film material. This unit support 1080/24P video through its HDMI output so you can enjoy high-quality video with improved clarity and enhanced perspective.

Deep Color: The DMP-BD80's HDMI output is Deep Color compatible, with 4,096 steps of gradation for even smoother, finer-quality images that meet Hollywood's stringent demands, so you can experience movies just the way they were meant to be experienced.

x.v.Color: The DMP-BD80 supports x.v.Color, meaning it's ready for x.v.Color discs when they become available in the future.

Disc Compatibility: The DMP-BD80 is playback compatible with many disc types which include:

  • BD-Video: pre-recorded Blu-ray disc

  • BD-ROM: version 2

  • BD-RE: version 3 (single layer, dual layer); JPEG

  • BD-R: version 2 (single layer, dual layer)

  • DVD-RAM: DVD video recording format, AVCHD format, JPEG

  • DVD-Video: pre-recorded DVD disc

  • DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-R DL: DVD-Video format, DVD-Video Recording format, AVCHD format, MP3 (DVD-RW not supported), JPEG (DVD-RW not supported), DivX

  • DVD+R/DVD+RW/DVD+R DL: DVD Video, AVCHD format

  • CD-Audio: pre-recorded CD-DA

  • CD-R/RW: CD-DA, JPEG, DivX, MP3

Region Code: This dvd plaer is specially modified to play Region A, B, and C blu-ray dvd movies as well as Region 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc. standard dvd movies.

Copy Protection: Blu-ray Disc uses the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to prevent unauthorized recording of copyrighted material.

MP3 Playback: This unit will play MP3 audio files recorded onto DVD-R, DVD-R DL, CD-R, and CD-RW discs using ISO 9660 level 1 or 2 (except extended formats), or Joliet formats. Compatible bit rates include 32-320 kbps with sampling frequencies of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. The unit also supports ID3 tags version 1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4. The unit also allows MP3 playback using its USB port.

JPEG Playback: This unit will play JPEG still picture files recorded onto BD-RE, DVD-RAM, CD-R, or CD-RW disc using UDF 2.0, UDF 2.5 ISO 9660 level 1 or 2 (except extended formats), or Joliet formats. The unit will also play JPEG still images recorded onto an SD-card or USB mass storage device. Pixel resolutions between 34 x 34 and 8192 x 8192 are supported. You can view still images in one at a time, in an index mode or slide-show fashion. Still images can also be rotated and zoomed. If you are viewing still images from an USB device, you can insert a music CD into the player for background music.

Note: Motion JPEG and Progressive JPEG is not supported.

AVCHD Playback: The DMP-BD80 supports playback of AVCHD video recorded onto DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+RW DL, and DVD-RAM discs, as well as SD/SDHC memory cards. AVCHD is a new format for high definition video cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution HD images (up to 1080i) via efficient data compression coding technology. MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 is used to compress the video data while Dolby Digital or Linear PCM is used to compress the audio data. The result is image resolution of approximately 4.5 times that of standard definition image quality.

DivX Playback: You can play DVD-R, DVD-RDL, CD-R/CD-RW discs and USB devices which contain DivX video content that has been recorded on a personal computer. The Multi Region DMP-BD80k supports DivX files with resolutions of 32 x 32 or 720 x 576 and up to 30 frames per second.

SD Card Slot: The convenient SD card slot on the front panel of the Region Free DMP-BD80 Blu-Ray DVD player allows easy viewing of high-definition/standard-definition videos and photos on your HDTV that have been recorded on an SD card in MPEG2, AVCHD, or JPEG format by your digital camcorder or camera. The SD card slot supports SD cards (8MB-2GB), SDHC cards (4GB-32GB), or mini/micro SD cards (with adapter) formatted in FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32. The player will recognize up to 9999 picture contents and 300 folders stored on a compatible SD card.

USB Port: There is a USB port on the front panel which allows playback of MP3 and JPEG files from a connected USB mass storage device or Panasonic digital camera via a USB cable. The MP3 audio and JPEG photo files must be recorded in FAT12, FAT16 or FAT 32 file systems. The USB port also supports DivX playback. The Code Free DMP-BD80k Blu-Ray dvd player will support USB devices up to 128GB.

Note: This unit does not support USB charging.

Resume Play: Resume play allows you to resume playback of a disc from the point where you last stopped. The stopping point is cleared when the Stop button is pressed more than once or the disc tray is opened.

TV Aspect Ratio: You can set the player's video output to match the type of television you have connected. You can choose from 4:3 Pan&Scan, 4:3 Letterbox, 16:9 Widescreen or 16:9 Full.

Screen Aspect: When black bars are shown at the top, bottom, left, and rights sides of the screen, you can enlarge the image to fill the screen. You can set the Blu-ray player to one of three settings.

  • Normal: normal output

  • Side Cut: black bars on the right and left sides of the 16:9 image disappear and the image is enlarged

  • Zoom: black bars on the top and bottom sides of the 4:3 image disappear and the image is enlarged

Black Level Control: You can select Lighter or Darker for adjusting the Black Level Control to the desired setting for picture enhancement.

Progressive Output Auto Detection: DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can determine which type has been used then uses the most suitable method of progressive output.

  • Video: recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second; generally appropriate for TV drama programs or animation

BonusView: Some BD-video disc copy data to other media (local storage) and then play the secondary video, secondary audio and subtitles (sub contents) simultaneously. These functions are known as BonusView. Sub contents are automatically recorded to other media from the disc prior to playing the virtual package. Playback methods vary depending on BD-discs. This player uses its SD card slot along with an optional SD-card to copy data from applicable BD-video discs.

Picture-in-Picture: This function of BD-video will play the primary video and secondary video simultaneously. The function is capable of playing the original movie as the primary video while playing video commentary from the film director on a smaller screen as a secondary video.

BD-Live: The unit's Ethernet port lets you connect the player directly to the Internet to access bonus material available on some Blu-ray movies known as BD-Live. The BD-Live, a new BD-Video function allows you to use the following interactive functions when connected to the Internet - movie trailers, subtitles and BD-J.

With Panasonic's VIERA Cast technology, you can enjoy online content like Amazon Video On Demand, YouTube videos, Picasa Web Albums, stock information (Bloomberg) and weather through the Blu-ray player's easy-to-use, built-in Web interface. No extra equipment is required; just surf the Web using the supplied remote control (no PC required). In addition, the VIERA Cast menu will self-update as soon as new online content becomes available.

Note: VIERA Cast requires a Broadband high-speed Internet service of no less than 1.5 Mbps for SD image quality and 6Mbps for HD picture quality. Dial-up Internet services cannot be used for VIERA Cast.

192kHz/24-bit Audio DAC: Thanks to a 192kHz 24bit audio digital-analog converter and high quality insulators, electrolytic capacitors, copper-foil film capacitors and ultra-low-impedance electrolytic capacitors, the DMP-BD80 delivers exciting surround effects and lifelike ambience for your Home Theatre Entertainment System.

7.1 CH Surround Decoders: In addition to the built-in standard Dolby Digital and DTS decoders, the DMP-BD80 has Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, and DTS-HD decoders as well. Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, and DTS-HD are higher quality sound tracks (than Dolby Digital and DTS) and support up to 7.1 channels. The DMP-BD80 will support up to 7.1 channels through its HDMI output and 7.1 channel analog audio outputs. It is limited to only 5.1 channel output through the unit's optical and coaxial digital outputs. In this case, the DMP-BD80 will extract 5.1 channels from the newer Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD and DTS-HD 7.1 channels formats. The audio output differs as follows when playing back a Blu-ray disc, depending on the surround format, output jack and the selected settings.

  • Resolution: resolution can be fixed at 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p, or set to Auto, which selects the resolution best suited to the connected television

  • RGB Range: RGB output range is set to Standard or Enhanced, Enhanced offers more distinct blacks and whites and is useful when the TV only supports RGB

  • Audio: HDMI audio must be turned off when using the optical or coaxial digital output

  • Control: turn on if connected by HDMI to a component supporting HDAVI Control

Component Video: The component video resolution can be set to 480i, 480p, 720p, or 1080i. When the HDMI output is turned on the component resolution is fixed at 480i.
