Panasonic DMP-BD80K Region Free DVD Player

Panasonic DMP-BD80KWC

The Panasonic DMP-BD80KK Region Free Blu-ray Disc Player combines high quality images with enhanced networking functions and the ability to play Blu Ray discs and DVD from anywhere in the world. In continuing its commitment to producing products that stress ease of use, Panasonic has equipped the 2009 line of Blu-ray Disc players with VIERA Link, allowing the consumer to operate the audio/video components via HDMI with one remote. And in keeping with Panasonic's pledge to reduce the planet's carbon footprint, the new Blu-ray players have been designed to reduce power consumption.

Experience Movies Like Never Before
The DMP-BD80KK employs the PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus. Developed in collaboration with Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, this high image processing technology reproduces clear, vivid colors that are faithful to the original film. Panasonic recognizes that audio is important to the overall entertainment experience, so this Blu-ray Disc player features a high definition audio decoder (Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio Essential) to take advantage of the exceptionally high quality 7.1 channel surround sound now integrated in Blu-ray Discs.

In order to produce the ultimate picture quality, Panasonic’s DMP-BD80K Blu-ray players employs high precision 4:4:4 signal technology, which working in tandem with PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus processes each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc video signal in the horizontal direction, to compliment vertical direction processing. P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD) is another technology that contributes to the superior picture quality of the Blu-ray players. P4HD processes more than 15 billion pixels per second and applies the optimal processing to every pixel.

Panasonic’s Blu-ray players further utilize 16-level motion detection to categorize the image motion of each pixel into one of 16 levels; diagonal processing to detect diagonals and correct the pixels accordingly; 1080p up-conversion to up-convert content recorded in the 480i/p or 720p format to 1080p. The Blu-ray players also provide 1080/24p output, thereby reproducing cinema images from a Blu-ray Disc and DVD in their original 24p form with no need for conversion. This allows the user to enjoy cinema images in the same format used in cinema with a 1080/24p compatible TV.

Complementing the HD audio codecs this Blu-ray player features 96kHz surround re-master, a function that enhances the sound quality of CDs and other sources, and even improves the quality of the multi-channel audio data on Blu-ray Discs and DVDs. The DMP-BD80K further enhances the audio experience with 7.1 channel analog out to produce true 7.1 surround sound, thereby affording the consumer a home theater environment that rivals the movie theater. The BD80K also includes a playback information window that can be used to display detailed image information while a movie is playing.

ENERGY STAR Rated
In order to obtain a reduction in power consumption the Panasonic DMP-BD80K uses Auto Power Stand-By, a function that automatically turns off the player when you return to TV operation using the VIERA Link menu. In addition, the Stand-by Power Save automatically turns off the player’s Quick Start function. When VIERA is turned on, Quick Start also turns on. In addition, the development of the UniPhier single chip LSI makes it possible to pack an entire video signal processing circuit onto a single chip. This helps lower power consumption, reduces the number of parts needed and allows for a more compact design.
