Best Blu-Ray
By Peter
This player will start the movie from where you stopped it or even if you power it off unlike other players where if you press stop or power off will go back to the very beginning. Excellent picture and menu controls. Comes with 5 Blu-Ray Discs in the box and you also can mail a rebate form in for 5 more discs.

By J. York
I'm quite pleased with the Panasonic DMP-BD10AK. That said, if you're now in the market for a high-end Panasonic Blu-ray player, I suggest you wait for the just-announced Panasonic DMP-BD50. The BD10AK is discontinued and it's replacement seems to be the DMP-BD50. The DMP-BD30 looks nice on paper but it seems to be targeting a lower price point (ie. fewer features).I went with the BD10AK because I needed the analog decoding built into the player as I have an older AVR that cannot decode the new higher definition audio formats. With the BD50 now announced, it is best to get that instead.

Do the Firmware upgrade. "No problem" with 'APPK' Model designation"
By T. Dunn
I ordered a DMP-BD10AK, and Amazon's selling partner (not mentioned in description) shipped a DMP-BD10APPK. In an e-mail exchange, their partner has implied that it is the same unit and that "The manufacturer's box adds the PP to the SKU for internal inventorypurposes". In any case, after the first disk played locked up ten minutes in, I upgraded the firmware from v2.4 to v2.5 using Panasonic's download service. Note that the downloaded file is a PC ".exe" file, so Mac users might want to use a cross-platform helping application to decompress the firmware update prior to burning it to CD. No problems since the firmware upgrade. (By the way, the process was easy and painless.)Performance: The picture is excellent, as is the sound. The quality varies according to input. For instance, I had hoped "Planet Earth" would display without the blurring motion artifacts that were seen on the cable broadcast, but no, the compression artifacts were still there; "Flags of Our Fathers" was crisp (albeit with lots of video gimmickry). DVD-processing is very good, and my one Superbit DVD, "Lawrence of Arabia" is even "gorgeous-er". The unit upconverts DVD content to 1080p quite well: you'll be saying "No lines! No lines!".Audio seemed stunning, even though I'm using 5.1 right now and not 7.1. It SEEMS clearer with a better S/N ratio. No instruments, just my well-tuned ears.Operability: (meh) I'd like the setup button more easily-available, and like reviewers in other media have noted, it's sort of a pain not being able to get a jump on disk load/eject from your chair. That button is on the player itself.Overall: This player seems very, very good. It will show the best material spectacularly. And I can see all the blemishes, since I'm watching 1080p on a very large front-projected screen. There don't seem to be many blemishes, though.Buy one.
