Do not buy this you cannot get customer support online or by phone and you cannot upgrade the firmware. And all this information about BD Live is a joke.
My Sony Blu-Ray would take a couple of minutes to be ready to play. The Sony would also lock up often and then to take the disc out and clean the disc and get back to the place where we had left off would take the better part of five minutes. So far the Panasonic has not locked up and even to get started when we turn it on is much faster than the frustrating Sony product. I do not know how it compares in time with all the latest models but so far I am very happy with its performance.
Sometimes when reading product reviews, here and elsewhere, one must take into consideration that they are open to anyone, any skill level and any degree of techno challenged. Like the G10 series Plasma I bought last month, this unit updated it's firmware the second I had it plugged into the hub for my network and powered it up into the setup. Has performed beautifully with the VieraLink hook up, which incidentally also works with the Panasonic ATSC DVR in the same entertainment area. One plus no one seems to have noticed is that the VieraLink allows 3-4 each of different compatible DVDs, DVRs, Lumix cameras, network cameras.
This is my second Panasonic Blu-ray player (I still have the first and continually use it) and I am very pleased with its performance. Having shot and edited a 65 minute high definition movie I wanted a second Blu-ray player to use with a portable projector to screen it on a 10 foot wide screen for groups.
The price was awesome!($277) The panasonic seems to take 20 to 25 seconds to start a movie or to detect "no disk'. -Faster than a lot of players including my previous ones.
