As a major developer and contributor to the Blu Ray format, Panasonic has quite a lineup of players for this format. One of its products in this lineup is the panasonic dmp bd60 1080p Blu Ray disc player black.

Panasonic introduced the DMP BD60 along with the BD70V and the BD80 as successors to the award-winning BD35 and BD55 players. The three newer players put emphasis on ease of use, with VIERA Link, which is a feature that lets users operate audio/video components using just one remote control via HDMI. The older name for VIERA link is EZ Sync. However, not all VIERA Link features can be used with previous VIERA Link or EZ Sync compatible products.

VIERA Cast, on the other hand, is another one of the enhanced networking functions for the three aforementioned models. This function provides access to the Internet without needing an external box or a personal computer. Users can enjoy Amazon Video on Demand streaming, YouTube, Picasa Web albums, Bloomberg, and a weather channel on their HDTVs.

You can use the panasonic dmp BD60 1080p Blu Ray disc player black with a Panasonic HDTV to get that essential 1080p high-definition experience. The BD60 gives 1080/24p output, so images are reproduced in the original 24p cinema mode, with no need for conversion. Thus, you can use a 1080/24p-compatible TV to watch cinema images in the same format used in movie theaters.

If you examine a Panasonic DMP BD60 1080p Blu Ray disc player black, you would see that it has an SD memory card slot plus a USB slot. These slots make it easy for users to view and share their digital still images, not to mention high-def videos recorded with HD camcorders in the AVCHD format.

Another admirable feature of these three allied products is that they have reduced power consumption. The Panasonic DMP BD60 1080p Blu Ray disc player black is actually Energy Star rated and, when in standby mode, consumes 16 percent less power than its predecessor DMP BD35.

One of the reasons that the BD60 consumes less power is its auto power standby function that automatically turns off the player when you use the VIERA Link menu to resume TV operation. Meanwhile, the standby power save function turns off the player’s quick-start function when necessary; when you turn on VIERA, you also turn on the quick-start function. A Panasonic DMP BD60 1080p Blu Ray disc player black is equipped with a UniPhier single-chip LSI, which also contributes to the reduction in power consumption because it packs an entire video processing unit in just one chip.

So you see that the Panasonic DMP BD60 is not just good for viewing purposes. It is certainly an energy-efficient appliance too.
