Panasonic DMP-BD55

Panasonic has decided to let us all know that not all Blu-Ray DVD Players have to weigh as much as a small car and have the dimensions of a small house with their release of the positively svelte DMP-BD55.

This new Profile 2.0 player is the replacement for the well-received but rather short-lived DMP-BD50 model. The new Panasonic DMP-BD55 sits at just 55mm tall thanks to its new ultra-slim BD drive and UniPhier chip, which applies 45-nanometer processing for the first time ever. It also comes with a 1GB SD card required to access the BD Live functionality and downloads.

Internally its new PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus video processor claims to up the quality of colour reproduction, while it also supports 7.1-channel surround sound courtesy of the HD Audio Decoder, as well as offering 7.1-channel analogue connectivity for hooking up direct to an amplifer. The DMP-BD55 power consumption has also been reduced to just 20W to keep things green and eco.

Panasonic DMP-BD55

Soundtrack support is very thorough on the DMP-BD55. It has onboard decoding for all high-resolution soundtrack formats, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. This means you won't be needing any new AV equipment to take advantage of the improved audio quality. The DMP-BD55 can also output high-resolution soundtracks in bit stream format, so you can choose to let your AV equipment do the decoding. There should be absolutely no sound-quality difference between the receiver decoding the soundtracks or the Blu-Ray DVD Player but it does give you the choice.

There's certainly no shortage of connectivity options with the DMP-BD55. The HDMI output is the most important connection, capable of outputting high-def video up to 1080p resolution, as well as high-resolution multichannel audio. There's also a component-video output, which can output Blu-Ray DVDs at 1080i and DVDs at 480p, along with a legacy composite-video connection. Audio connections also include both optical and coaxial digital-audio outputs, and those with older receivers will also be pleased to see 7.1 analog-audio outputs. There's also an Ethernet port in the back, which can be used for firmware updates and downloading content for BD-Live-enabled Discs. Rounding out the connectivity is the SDHC-compatible SD-card slot under the front panel, which is used for BD-Live content, as well as for accessing JPEGs, MP3s, and high-definition AVCHD video.
