Does this Panasonic model reads divx? Model Bd 45

The description states, "1080p up-conversion to up-convert content recorded in the 480i/p or 720p format to 1080p." That means your regular old discs play, and it makes them look more like HD discs.

I guess my question is: will this blue-ray player, play regular dvds, as well as others? I'm not that big into the movie scene, but it would be nice to watch my reuglar dvds, in HD quality. I do have an 1080p HDTV with all the works if that helps...please...I don't need a top of the line, just a decent blue-ray player..thanks! Note: I don't do streaming & special downlaods for movies, I just need something simple to use, yet that is good quality. I'm not a techno-person!

I have posted a similar question. I just like to know if plays all the old format DVD's. I'm only interested playing all my DVD's. I have a Pnasonic 42" TV. (Not 1080) 2 years old that I love.

I keep seeing conflicting reports about this. Sony's specs state point blank that it does decode 5.1 DTS via hdmi, if you set it up right. I'm connecting to a Sony BDP-BX1 bluray player. Specs for that also state 5.1 DTS via hdmi. If I must use the optical connection to do this then I will, but I doubt it's necessary. Only reason I'm going from my cambridge soundworks/creative labs DTT-3500 system is because it does not offer DTS at all. Until I get the ht-ss2300, I've temporarily configured the bluray player to output DTS as a downmix. It sounds pretty good and does give me rear channel audio which I feel sounds more like pro-logic with no right and left rear channel seperation. I keep seeing conflicting reports about this.

You must have a very late model, higher-end receiver with HDMI 1.3a to decode these new audio formats. Otherwise, via the optical port, you will continue to get regular DD or DTS.

According to their website it is only for BD35K, but I wonder if they would honor it for the 55K. I might try. http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Video/Blu-ray-Disc-Players.list.75009_11002_7000000000000005702

Where are you from Scott Meek? From what I've read, the BD-P1500 only has a divx firmware update for players in the UK. That kinda screws everyone else. And if you want to use blu ray 2.0, you need to update the firmware and have at least a 1 gig flash drive attached in the back. I hope Samsung will eventually release firmware to make all the Bd-P1500's divx capable.

Panasonic says...YES. Here's a PDF detail page: ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/panasonic/Drivers/PBTS/brochures/S_TH-37PG9U.pdfHowever, the display won't display better than SD (480P) signals, so not sure what the benefit would be in your case. Unless it's next to free, you'd be better off with a 720P plasma from Panasonic (which I have).

I have a DVP642 and have never had a problem playing DiVX from DVDs. Maybe you just had a bad burn.

Yes it does but I don't recommend this Panasonic model. It's very clunky and not at all user friendly. for example, to access any one feature, you need to go through 2 or 3 steps. The set-up and software were poorly designed.

I can help you. Bought the 1500 back in June. Worked great until the Bond movies came out. Bought FYEO and it wouldn't play. Got the new 2.0 firmware update from Samsung. Installed that with no problems. But after the update I couldn't play ANY blu movie. Sent the machine to Samsung to get fixed. Said they would have a new firmware update to resolve the problem but couldn't tell me when that would take place. So I had lost patience (over 1 month w/out being able to play blu on 1500). I bought the bd35. Not one single problem. Played the Bond movie with no problems. Samsung released 2.1 firmware to resolve problems with 2.0 firmware. Didn't work. So the morale of my story is that Samsung customer service is HORRIBLE! Go with the Panasonic. You won't regret it.

No. I called Panasonic, and the technician said that Amazon could not be added to the list of video services for this model. I sent it back.

I gave this to my sister in Arkansas a few years ago, so I can't look at it. But I simply went to the Panasonic Support website and the manual is available so you can see all the connections that are possible: http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/DMP-BD50K?t=manuals&support;#tabs Yes, it does have S Video Port.Maryann

One really big difference according to the specs is the BD570 & 590 play Divx HD, Xvid and every other form of Divx/AVI files, and the BD550 doesn't.sorry, just looked closer at the op and I see 580 not 550 was being questioned. I'll leave this comment though because I scoured the reviews and comments trying to find this info.

No, it does not. At least mine did not. Page 12 of the manual states that an HDMI cable is only supplied with with model BDP-BX110. This seems to be the only difference between the two models.

I don't actually know as I have not programmed and used this feature. I imagine the panasonic web site would say.
