5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Portable Blu-ray player
I bought this player the day it was released direct from Panasonic. This is a high quality device. Beautiful hi-rez screen, excellent build quality. The hard-wired internet connection allows you to stream youtube videos and view Pacasa slides in hi-rez. You can also playback DIVX rentals or purchased movies that you download on you PC and write to DVD. You can also update...

3.0 out of 5 stars Can't play video files off SD card
Am I missing something on this? I had hoped to play video files off of the SD card, but it seems it only works for pictures and video recorded on a panasonic camera (so no commercial video files). The instructions are a bit confusing, with the file structure and so on, but I think this functionality doens't exist. Any other users disagree?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Portable Blu-ray player, June 6, 2009

I bought this player the day it was released direct from Panasonic. This is a high quality device. Beautiful hi-rez screen, excellent build quality. The hard-wired internet connection allows you to stream youtube videos and view Pacasa slides in hi-rez. You can also playback DIVX rentals or purchased movies that you download on you PC and write to DVD. You can also update the firmware from the WEB.
I have been able to watch movies in the car with the 3 hour battery or the included 12V car adapter. I love the way the screen folds flat against the unit and then able to tilt up or down. All my friends are amazed at the high quality and the bright picture. Way to go Panasonic!!
PS, Panasonic is still trying to get me a date for the availability of the optional 6 HR. Battery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Portable Bluray player, September 7, 2009
By Raven Ted "Ted" (Annapolis, Md) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic DMP-B15 Portable Blu-ray Player (Electronics)
The quality of this Bluray player is outstanding. It straps to the back of the front car seats, which puts the screen at eye-level. It only accomodates one set of head phones. Two would be better. The price tag right now is very high, but if you want to treat your passengers to a high quality viewing experience, this is a product for you.

I bought this product in October and am thoroughly impressed with its picture clarity and sound clarity. Best of all I can carry my Bluray's along and view it wherever I like. It is expensive but totally worth the buy if its portability you are looking for. Its got a whole host of features which I will test over a period of time. At this point of time I am happy to view my movies in Hi Def anywhere, anyplace anytime!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blue-ray Portable DVD Player, November 29, 2009

This review is from: Panasonic DMP-B15 Portable Blu-ray Player (Electronics)
For the short time I have used this player it works great and has exceptional picture quality. It will be a matter of time to determine if this portable device last long as all my previous portable DVD player which break after 6 - 12 months. The sound quality is the only negative but better than standard portable DVD players.

My portable blu-ray player arrived in the mail and I instantly opened it up and did the set up! I must say the ease of use and the quality of the product are phenomenal!

I think everyone else has already said all the good stuff. One thing... it initially kept freezing while trying to play Avatar. I plugged in the ethernet, logged on and upgraded the firmware from version 1.1 to 1.6. Everything is smooth-running now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooooray for a dialysis patient, February 2, 2010
By BrotherSpider "Spider" (The Order of the Eternal Broken Nose) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Panasonic DMP-B15 Portable Blu-ray Player (Electronics)
I ordered this on saturday and just got it this morning. I spent all day charging the battery because (I am on dialysis 5 days a week) the unit i dialize in doesn't allow electronic toys to be plugged in there.

Well, i started buying disks in blu ray for home and then realized i couldn't watch them in the unit....ooops Since this seems to be the only player of blu rays that you can take with you (and for some reason it is a LOT heavier then most DVD players) I went ahead and researched the price and found that Amazon.com had the best one

Well, i just got done watching the new version of King Kong and the quality of the picture is 100% fabulous. the sound out of the tiny speaks leaves a lot to be desired, but i have the Bose qc over the ear headphones that blocks out the nurses at Dialysis

I was skepticle at the price but this was the best money i ever sent to Amazon

May 8, 2010 Adendum
I have had a couple people ask me if this could be hooked up to a TV....YES, with a HDMI cable it hooks up to any HD TV

Also, After a lot of use, i have found a down point. There is no "pause" button that i can find on the device. There may be one on the remote, but i haven't used that yet
