Panasonic DMP-BDT220 Integrated Wi-Fi 3D Blu-ray DVD Player (Electronics)

Before I purchased this Panasonic DMP-BDT220 WiFi Blu-Ray DVD Player, I had researched virtually every player available on the market. There's a lot to pick from, but I wanted to find the player that had the best all-around features, and a great price that would fit my budget. And after looking at a dozen or so different players, I concluded that this Panasonic player was the best pick in its price range. Other players, have various other options, a varied amount of output connections, and may specify on-board memory configurations, etc. While this player does not specify the memory amount, it appears to be sufficient enough to load streaming media (such as Netflix, Amazon Video or Hulu Plus and play it back without any hesitation or pauses.After receiving the player, I hooked it up, and it worked perfectly right from the start. Found my WiFi network without any problems. I entered the security password information and it was connected to my WiFi network and my Internet...Read more

The purpose of my review thus far is to include a few images I didn't have upon purchase that others may want to see. The only way to do this is to write an actual review so I will update as I use the player more over time. At first glance the player is well made and is no larger than a good sized tablet. You can hold it in one hand. I have an image included of it next to our already small cable box (32" tv above). It really is not much larger than a disc case. Setup was painless and I purposely avoided even looking at the directions for this reason, to see how hard it would be with no understanding of the product. I had it ready to go in less than 10 minutes. The hardest part was turning on my laptop to get the wifi security code. The power cord is similar in shape and size to a cellular adapter.. even the plug is the same. There are only two connections on the back of the player.. the power and the HDMI port.. that's it.

I am a Home Theater specialist by trade and purchased this unit for my own use. Having looked over the negative reviews, I decided to buy the unit. Most of the negative reviews seemed to centered around more complex setups and since complex installations go hand in hand problems ( Murphy's Law, he loves the fearless), I wrote the complaints off to over engineering the installation. Since my needs were basic and I was more interested in Panasonic's reputation for reliable above average performance, I did not expect any issues. The unit has a smallish footprint which is allows more placement options. Always very appealing on its own. There are not many connection options but this is ok for most users. Anyone who is looking for advanced high end installation options will be looking at more complex units. My big needs were a good disc player with robust upscaling to improve video on that occasional off the grid bizzaro flic. Panasonic has always been my first choice to video...Read more
