Panasonic DMP-B15EB-K Portable Blu-Ray Player

Compiling a list of best portable bu-ray players is pretty easy at the moment, as there aren’t that many. Panasonic appear to have temporarily cornered the market so here’s their offering, the DMP-B15EB-K.

The 8.9 inch wide SVGA screen on this portable Panasonic Blu-ray player lets you view movies with much higher image quality than standard definition portable DVD players. With the DMP-B15, your enjoyment of Blu-ray Disc™ movies or various types of SD Memory Card content is not limited to the living room. Enjoy the same high level of entertainment in your bedroom, or even in the car.

You can play AVCHD and MPEG 2 images recorded with a camcorder, and DivX content that you’ve downloaded from the Internet, by using SD Memory Cards, DVDs, or CDs. * DivX data on SD Memory Cards cannot be played.

Because these models are compatible with the VIERA CAST function, you can access YouTube™, Picasa™, and other Internet sites from the special VIERA CAST screen. YouTube™ lets you watch the newest video clips, and Picasa™ lets you view Web-based photos. You can also check weather and stock information on other sites.

HD Video Signal Stream Out By simply connecting to an HDTV with an HDMI cable, you can watch Blu-ray Disc™ movies with the same level of full-HD image quality as you get with a component type Blu-ray Disc™ player. HD Audio Signal Stream Out By connecting to an HD Audio compatible 7.1-channel AV receiver with an HDMI cable, you can listen to Blu-ray Disc™ 7.1-channel surround sound. *An HDTV connected with an HDMI cable is required.

When the TV is on, the VIERA Link function lets you switch to portable Blu-ray Disc™ player mode using just the Panasonic DMP-B15EB-K‘s remote control unit. Simply press the VIERA Link button on the TV’s remote control and select “Player” on the VIERA Link Menu screen. The menu will display on the TV screen, and you can begin playback of a Blu-ray disc™ or select from the Blu-ray disc™ menu.
