Panasonic 2nd-gen Blu-ray player adds 7.1 surround sound

[Bob Crabtree]

Among the stars of Panasonic's recent trade show, one of the brightest was the DMP-BD10A Blu-ray Disc player. This replaces the first-generation DMP-BD10 and adds support for 7.1-channel surround and playback of high-def footage shot on AVCHD consumer camcorders.

Panasonic hasn't yet unveiled the suggested price but, although the discontinued first-generation model is currently selling for between £900 and £1,300, one go-getting on-line reseller is advertising its replacement for £700.

More.

I wish someone would make a dual mode player like this

Especially if someone like Primare or a high end player did....

Shame it won't be compatible with the newer BD-J standards come October 31st: -

This is the reason BD isn't getting The Matrix anytime this year
