DMP-B500 - Not perfect, but well worth it. July 16, 2010
J. A. Martinez (Colorado, USA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

If you are someone who needs a fifty inch screen to watch movies on, this machine is not for you. If you are someone with a Blu-Ray collection who travels and wants a way to watch them on the move, keep going. The DMP-B500 has a 10.1 inch screen that operates on a 1024x600 screen resolution. The DMP-B500 does NOT have a native 1080P screen. It is, however, an excellent screen for it's size. Colors are vivid and accurate, though if you're like me, you will have to turn down the color saturation. The default settings run a hair deeper to the red then they should, but it is easily fixed. There is no ghosting in the screen, nor are there artifacts or dark 'bricking'. While the screen is in operation there is no glare in a dark room, while still being easily visible in sunlight and room light.

The built in speakers won't drown out a room, but are easily heard with surprising depth and quality. You wont' be rewinding constantly to hear what someone said. The DMP-B500 only has one headphone jack, however, so if you have to share it in a car or on a plane you will have to buy a headphone splitter. The DMP-B500 will start a dvd instantly, though most Blu-Ray discs require five to fifteen seconds to go from main menu to movie. Native firmware will run every movie on the market at the moment, however there have been two firmware updates since I purchased my DMP-B500. Avatar and Alice in Wonderland both play flawlessly as does the rest of my collection. Of the fifty odd Blu-Ray I own, none have had any issues being played on the DMP-B500.

On a full battery charge you will get three hours from the DMP-B500, with headphones plugged in and the screen's brightness turned down, you can get four hours.

The DMP-B500 can connect to any HD television with an HDMI cable. While connected to the television, the DMP-B500 transmits at full 1080/24P with excellent video and sound quality.

The DMP-B500 can play Div-x .AVI files. However these files can NOT be placed on an SD card. Div-X files must be burned to disk or played off a standard usb thumb-drive. I have not yet convinced my DMP-B500 to read Div-x files from an external hard drive. The DMP-B500 can play MPeG2 files from the SD card. Fair warning, to activate the DMP-B500's Div-X capabilities you MUST burn the activation file to a cd or dvd. The activation file will not play via usb thumb drive, nor SD card.

.JPG files are supported, though the support if 'iffy'. Pictures taken from your camera in .JPG will show on your DMP-B500, but the machine 'sorts' the photos for you. A pictures of your nieces birthday party will find its way from the rest of the party photos and straight into those of your vacation. As of you, I don't know how the DMP-B500 sorts photos, as they aren't sorted alphabetically by name, nor by capture date.

MP3's play from burned disk, SD card, and USB drive. I have had no problems with any of my MP3's, those purchased from I-tunes and Amazon both worked fine.

Internet video is an interesting feature. You can watch Youtube, Amazon movies on demand, and Netflix via the built in Wifi adapter or the built in ethernet jack. So far all I have tried have played, but Youtube videos are not played in full screen. Instead they get roughly half the screen on the right side of the display. Picasso photo albums, Pandora internet radio, Fox Sports, and a weather network are additional internet features with more being added all the time. Firmware is updated either via cd or the built in ethernet connection. Updating the firmware takes around ten minutes.

The only true negatives about the DMP-B500 I can offer are the design and the price. The screen does not clam-shell, therefore it can't be tossed into a backpack as the screen is ALWAYS exposed. You need a dedicated carrying case to move the DMP-B500 around. Also, you must lift the screen to change discs. Neither are show stoppers, but both are annoyances. There is also the price to consider. The DMP-B500 is not a machine that's worth eight hundred dollars. Watch Amazon's daily price and wait for a good deal. Six hundred dollars for a machine of the DMP-B500's capabilities is a very good price, but not eight hundred.

Pro's: Display, sound, portability, multiple features, battery life, Disc read time.
Con's: SD Card not supporting DivX files, Screen always exposed, price, no included travel charger.

This machine is worth a purchase if you want to watch your Blu-ray's on the move. The DMP-B500 is vastly superior to the US release of the DMP-B100 in every way but price.

Brilliant Bluray Player. July 20, 2010

I now own both the DMP B15 and the DMP B500. The B500 is definitely superior in terms of Sound and Picture Size. The extra functions such as the Photo Frame and Calendar are cool Add Ons.

Definitely reccomend this product for anyone who prefers to watch Hi Dep Movies on the run.

Brilliant product from Panasonic.

Suggestions: Clam Shell and extended Battery life.

Fun Toy! July 30, 2010
Raymond C. Senn (Wyckoff, New Jersey USA)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have been having a lot of fun with this Player. In hindsight I bought it too early (700 here on Amazon) so therefore those of you that have waited until now to buy it, good move! My bad though, can't blame Amazon!

The unit is very well designed with solid construction; However, do know that when I unpackaged my DMP-B500, I noticed a piece of dust that was stuck UNDER the display's protective screen and that dust partical wound up being a bit annoying, at least from a perfectionist perspective (so much for a super clean environment production facility eh?). Though difficult, I was able to jiggle the dust partical to a new location so it wound up "disappearing" under the matted top portion of the display (though it has since moved down into the viewable area again). I must add that this dust-spot is only really noticable when power is off and/or if you are looking really closely at the screen. Put it this way, it wasn't enough of a problem to make me want to return the unit to Amazon since I was heading out to Vacation in Gloucester MA a few days later and really wanted to have the DMP-B500 with me on Va-Ca.

Like the other reviewers have stated, the screen does not clamshell which is a shame. Because of that, a case is an essential add-on for your purchase. I am giving my highest recommendation to the Case Logic WDEC-10 EVA Molded 10-Inch DVD Player Case. It's almost as if that case was made for this player! The semi-hardshell case protects the DMP-B500 extremely well and I have even added my own extra layer of screen protection by first wrapping a T-Shirt around the player and then placing the player (and shirt) inside the case which is a perfect fit. There is also room for the disconnected battery plus the remote to be placed in the same side of the case (with the T-Shirt providing a cushion between the items). The other zippered half of the case holds all of the other accessories (power, LAN wireless adaper, etc) with no problems. See the link below...
