Battery worked as desired and as expected. It appears to be an exact factory replacement. I recommend it with no reservations.

I have owned a Sony 1080P 40 inch LCD for a few years. It is excellent in many ways. But the Panasonic 42 inch G10 is even better. The colors and definition are great. I have had the Panasonic for about one month and I swear it seems to get better every day. I didn't know there was a break period for a Plazma? Any way I definietly recommend the Panasonic for television and blu ray movies. I have not used it for games and I probably never will. Also, before purchasing it from Amason I comparaed it in a store against a 46 inch Samsung LED and the G10 held its own against a very much more expensive TV. The Samsung was twice the price. Buy the G10 and pocket the savings. I didn't give it 5 stars because I don't give 5 stars.

UPDATED:

This unit fully supports 3 HDMI 1080P through with full 5.1 & 7.1 LPCM support. If your Blu-Ray (PS3) is set to output LPCM then DTS HD adn DOLBY HD output as LPCM and sound great Supports full 24 bit / 192 khz 7.1 and sounds really, really good.

I wish the digital was more easily re-assignable. For example, my Comcast box HDMI has to be accessed through the "SAT" button, and my computer audio is on the "TV" button. Programmable button commands (my old Panasonic had) would have made this perfect for the money.

A great buy!!!

I just ordered this from Sony (product available on 4/4/08, so I have three weeks or so until they ship.) I had a DG710 and although the description read that it accepted LPCM through HDMI the reality was it only accepted 2.1 LPCM through HDMI! You have to use Bitstream and DD or DTS for 5.1 or 6.1.

I was furious, I contacted Sony customer support and they didn't know the DG710 didn't play 5.1 LPCM! They told me it was defective. I returned it and the same problem occurred with the new one. So I am returning the new one and I ordered the new DG720. All the Sony STRDG models have been upgraded to from 510, 710, 810 and 910 to 520. 720, 820 and 920. The difference, now they all handle surround LCPM. The STRDG720 also has 1 more HDMI than the 710, and that's exactly what I need so I am very happy about that change.

If it doesn't work I will update this review around the middle of April.

I bought it 2 years ago for $100 from Costco and it died yesterday with the famous E3 error message, I call Panasonic, the only suggestion they give is to send it to a repair center which they said it will cost $80, what a joke.

I find this machine very easy to set up and use....no problem.  Excellent quality.  But I have found one problem that the Panasonic help desk says never came up before.  After recording and prior to finalization of a disk....the playback picture is perfect.  Once I finalize the disk....on playback I get periodic skips in audio and video.  Does not seem to matter if the recording was live tv, vhs....plays great prior to finalization of the disk, but after, a skip.  Don't know why.  Not sure if my machine is defective or not....anyone else have this problem?

The Panasonic SC-PT960 system turned out to be a great gift for my husband.
My daughter connected it and all has been very good.

I exchanged a panasonic DMP-BDT220 after having it for two weeks and got a sony BDP-S590 instead.  The problem with the panasonic was that it only recognized by wi-fi network about 1/5 times, and Id have to unplug the router or player to get it to hook up.  Also, I consider myself very tech savy but could not connect the panasonic to dlna AT ALL.  Finally, after about 10 days of use the panasonic unit started giving me a grainy picture of stars in certain places.

On the contrary, the S590 was a piece of cake to connect to wi-fi.  I had it all set up in about 2 minutes with WLA, and it recognized my homegroup on the network (dlna) on its own without any further work on my part- ease of use certainly gets 5 stars!

The apps that come with the S590 are head over heals superior to the panasonic one, and streaming is better as well.  The dlna connection is super nice for picture and music streaming from my laptop.  The S590 also has a web browser, which the panasonic didnt.

The only down side so far, as some others have mentioned is that the unit does take a minute to startup, but there is an option for quick-start, but this increases power use when its off.  I've only had it for a few days, but I think its superior to the panasonic in every way.  Even the mobile remote app for the iphone is great and better than panasonics 2012 app.  Hopefully it holds up and lasts as long as some of my other sony devices.

A quick comment about Disney BD-ROMs that someone else mentioned as well.  The unit comes setup defaulted to play BD-ROMs on '24p', whatever that means.  If you don't have a 24p HDTV it won't play, but all you have to do is change the setting to off and it will play Disney Bluerays just as any others.

I purchased the Panasonic DMP-BDT500 in June.  Yesterday, September 5th the unit failed.  It would not output any video nor respond to the controller.  I am not going to try hasseling with Panasonic to get it fixed.  We hated the controller with the touch pad.  The menu was very hard to navigate with the touchpad.  Load times for both the DVD and Netfix were slower than my old PS3 which was the unit I previously used.

CORRECTION: the unit did not fail.  I was using a bad HDMI cable.  I had rated this product as do not buy, but since replacing all my HDMI ables it has performed.  It still has slow load times for the DVD and Netflix.

We just purchased the Panasonic DMP-BDT220 BluRay Disc Player, along with several BluRay movies. The BluRay dvd's we have watched thus far have an astounding picture --  EXCEPT The Godfather BluRay DVD series. ALL 3 dvd's WILL NOT PLAY. To further complicate matters, on the inside flap of the case there is an important notice which states the latest BluRay technology was used in procuding these DVD's -- the latest firmware will be need... This Panasonic is a 2012!! After on-line research I cannot locate software upgrades. Does anyone have information to resolve this issue? The Godfather series is being returned, and possible this BluRay as well!

SO FAR I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS PANASONIC BLU-RAY 3D PLAYER. IT WORKS GREAT WITH DVD, BLU-RAY AND 3D. I WOULD RECOMEND IT.

Be sure to download the updater from Blackmagic's website, which will enable you to switch between SDI-B (default) and SDI-A, which is frequently the issue with other devices not reading the signal properly.

I got this camera yesterday and set it up with no problems at my home. However, I got this camera as a surveillance camera for the inside of my business, so the wifi connection is obviously different. I was hoping after the initial setup I could bring it to a different wifi connection and it would still work. but for the initial setup you usually need an ethernet cable that plugs into the camera and into the router, however at my business our router is next door in another business because we share the Wifi. They're closed so therefore I couldn't run the cable. I called D-Link and asked them if there was any way to set it up without plugging it into the router, and not only was there a way, she walked me through the process step by step. Once we finished, the camera was setup but it only would play the live feed on my D-Link app, but not on the website on my computer, so we had to reprogram the camera and run the whole setup again, but she knew exactly how to fix the issue and walked me through it all with no issues. I definitely recommend getting a D-Link product, not only because they work well, but because the customer support is great. I've called on two occasions and have gotten great help both times. The woman gave me her badge number so I could include it in this review. Hopefully she gets some credit for all the help.

Have had it for 18 months, so it is out of warranty!  Was not used much! One expects better from such a higher end unit.  Tried a cleaning disk to no avail.  Would worry about buying another Panasonic Unit.

First let me say I would rate this camera a 5 except the Easy Pano function doesn't work. I get about 1/3 the way through and get an Unable To Create Pano message. What is worse, it's not even mentioned in the manual, but the Easy Pano function is available in the SCENE mode. The Nikon website has generic instructions for Easy Pano and claims there is a video on the page, but it's not there. Maybe Nikon can't make this work either?

For those who want to try it this is how it is supposed to work.

You press the shutter halfway to focus, wait a second, then complete the shutter press. You get four direction arrows on the screen. As you start panning the camera in one of those 4 directions (up, down, left, right) a bar appears at the top of the lcd screen showing the progress of the pano with a moving thick line filling the bar from left to right. You are supposed to pan for 15 seconds for the 180 degree and 30 seconds for the 360 degree panos.

But I can't fill more than 1/3 or less of the bar when I get an "Unable To Create Pano Message". I've tried different lighting conditions, different size and quality settings, different panning speeds.. Nothing works.

People with earlier coolpix versions that do Easy Panos says it works like a charm. I have seen similar complaints online about not being able to create an Easy Pano on the B700, but no solutions. If anyone has successfuly done an in camera Easy Pano on the B700, please tell me what I'm missing.

Dear Sir,

I wrote to Panasonic to report my dissatisfaction with this machine (though an earlier model EZ475VK). They wrote back suggesting I send it to them for repair if the warrantee was still valid (after I'd already told them it was not). I then sent the following email:

"I appreciate your prompt and courteous reply...however...

The machine is LONG out of warrantee range. I would have sent it back within the year, but was able to discover that the problem was in the video board and well known by Panasonic. Not only that, but it continues to be a problem with the newest models. I saw no reason to return it and nursed it along until it finally quit seeing discs at all.

It is my opinion that this is what class-action lawsuits are made of: a company produces a product with a known fault, fails to correct it, and continues to manufacture it without correction in subsequent models. Were this a matter of safety (and it is quite obviously not) there would be a federal investigation.

Sorry for the histrionics but I spent (what I consider) alot of money for this machine and it has been faulty from very early on. It is not what I would have expected from Panasonic, but definately affects my brand loyalty.

Again, Thank you for your prompt and courteous reply. Please understand my anger and disappointment and forgive my lack of courtesy. It is not directed at you personally.

Doug Brewster"

Their response was to send me a "Thanks for your feedback" type of email.

I have read many (hundreds) of complaints about Panasonic DVD recorders.
All of them started with the model after the DMR-EZ* series was begun. All of them have the same basic problems -it goes into an unresponsive mode, won't recognize the disc or recording, or something similar. The only method of resolving this is to unplug it. After you plug it back in, it goes through a long process which eventually leads to "F60" showing up on the window of the device. It then goes thru another long process and, if you're lucky, begins to function normally again. Usually you lose any recording as the disc becomes unreadable.

As time goes on, this problem got worse. Eventually it would not record at all.

Most of these machines work well for a brief period of time, but show some "glitches" you wouldn't expect. At best, they begin they tend to show the F60 error after a year or so. At worst, right out of the box. Most have it within a few months -especially if used often.

I could not recommend this Panasonic series of recorder to anyone I like. If you asked to recommend a good DVD recorder, I couldn't. I am going to try a Magnavox MDR515H/F7 and will let you know.

I bought my DMR e95h a long time ago, from a different source.  My wife just leaves the room when I play with my tech toys.  Her delicate ears can't take the abuse I heap on a unit that won't do as it's told.  I expect a lot of my equipment and I have little patience for items that don't perform as expected.  Nothing is perfect and I have had my share of disappointing moments with this DVR, but all-in-all it has been a pretty good unit.

Panasonic customer "service" can be totally useless at times, but if you try a few times you can usually eventually get someone that actually knows what he is doing. I find this is true of most Customer Service units for most suppliers.  About 2 in 10 techs are actually qualified to do their jobs.  Panasonic seems no better or worse than the usual.  ( wanna see real customer DISservice... deal with NetGear - jeez!!! )

I AM a bit ticked off about the TVGuide service being blocked by Cox Cable.  I wish the unit had a tuner of it's own along with the IR Blaster that controls the Cable box.  I wish I could download the data to an external drive or upgrade to a larger drive.  But the unit has performed admirably and reliably for years and when it failed a few calls and emails to Panasonic eventually got it fixed and back on line.

It has been well worth the $500 I paid for it.

Received my 880 and had it working within an hour controlling my 3-component system: Panasonic plasma HDTV, Sony A/V receiver and Sony DVD/VCR. Am watching HD OTA, so set up an activity, Watching HDTV, for that. Watch SDTV via cable using the DVD/VCR tuner, so setup another activity, Watching Cable TV, for that. Setup was fast and intuitive. Had to learn two IR commands, one for TV (the dash used in the compound channel format) and the channel Enter command for the DVD/VCR tuner.
