Actually, the DMP-BD85 comes with the DY-WL10 adapter that you connect externally (i.e., there is no wi-fi antenna "built in" to the blu ray player). As we all know, the WL10 can be connected to the TV or the blu ray player, which leave me with my original question:"I have a Panasonic TC-P50G25 HDTV and a BD-85K Blu Ray player.

I hooked it up to the TV. Works OK but no sound in the rear speakers (surround) for regular TV or the online stuff. I wonder if the online stuff would be better (surround, etc.) if plugged into the Blu Ray player. The other annoying thing is I have to use three remotes and have to keep switch the blu Ray to "D in 1" to get any sound from TV/internet.

I have not done anything as of yet. I will call Panasonic tech support and see what they have to say. My guess is it doesn't really matter whether you install it on your Panasonic HDTV or your Panasonic Blu-Ray Player. You still get the same results. But, I could be wrong.

Thanks, A. Haught ,for the clarification! I shall connect the wireless dongle to the BluRay player. Although I purchased the BD-85K BluRay player at panasonic.com on Black Friday, I just received the unit a few days ago as it was on back order.

Panasonic TC-P50G25 50" Class Viera® G25 Series Plasma - FREE HDMI Cable + MP3 PlayerPanasonic DMP-BD85K WiFi Enabled Blu-Ray Disc Player (Black)The DMP-BD85 comes with wi-fi capability already built in. You don't need DY-WL10 adapter -- Ok, that said, you may experience problems with getting a connection with to router. Look on-line for how to set-up manually if it comes to that. Can't help with the BD85.

The cable box should have the cord you need to connect from whatever it was connected to before. If this is the first time to connect to your cable box, yeah, you will need a co-axial cable. What I did was connect the cable box co-axial cable to the TV itself. Then I had to tell the TV to search for channels. But I don't think the Panasonic Blu-Ray/DVD player has a co-axial cable connection. I did have to use a HDMI cable to connect the player to the TV, and a Lan Line is needed to connect from the internet-cable modem to the player. So yeah, which ever connection you use, you will probably have to buy an additional cable. Either co-axial to connect your TV to cable, or a Lan-Line to connect the player to the internet.

Hey my Friend, Thanks for your imput. Just want to get a clear understanding about HDMI and Composite connection differences. My HDTV is 3 years old with composite only connection. Will HD DVD give me 1080i reception capabilty. I now have the Dish 622 reciever and get HD quality no problem. Simply put does the Toshiba HD-A1 HDDVD player have composite connections along with HDMI. Hope I've made myself clear enough. Thanks Much ... RD

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

I'm sorry but no. The only WiFi adapter that will work with any TV, Blu-Ray Player, printer, (any non-computer) is the proprietary adapter from the company that makes that device. In this case you would need the Samsung adapter. Samsung doesn't tell us how to make an adapter that will work with their equipment unfortunately.

My husband and I are debating the BD65 vs the BD85. If your HDTV has wifi do you need it on the blu-ray player also or is it simply redundant?

There is a difference. With the DY-WL10 adapter installed on the Panasonic HDTV, streamed movies display in their original format which cannot be changed by the Format button on the Panasonic HDTV remote. Further if the sound is sent via optical link (the only audio output of the HDTV) to a receiver with surround capabilities, it will be decoded only for certain encodings and not others (for example, Dolby Digital but not Dolby Digital Plus) and for the others is sent as digital stereo, not surround. With the DY-WL10 adapter installed on a BlueRay player connected to the HDTV through the receiver using HDMI cabling, the video format can be altered if desired using the Format button on the remote and the sound decoding is performed by the receiver (and not the HDTV) as is limited only by the encodings the receiver can recognize.

I guess if you dont have a DLNA TV you can use the blu-ray player as receiver (connected to the tv).That would be why I would be looking for a DLNA enabled blu-ray player

Your BD30 should upgrade video signal through component connections to 1080i, if HDMI it would upscale to 1080p. Others Blu-ray players would have same problems as BD30. The one you have is the best in Blu-ray right now.

Hi everyone,I just experienced the same issues with the adapter on my TC-L32x30 regarding wireless security with the DY-WL10. I found that the issue is due to the fact that when entering the security key on the TV set, it passes it in with ALL CAPITALS (I can't find a way to make lowercase on the set yet). So if your router password is in all lowercase, this will not work. If you change your router password to some combination of UPPERCASE and numeric, then the security encryption will still work. However, you will need to update your settings on all your network other devices.I Hope this helps everyone. Notes: I didn't require the USB extension cable for the dongle. I'm using a wireless G router setup. Hi everyone,I just experienced the same issues with the adapter on my TC-L32x30 regarding wireless security with the DY-WL10.

The antenna would connect to your television. The Panasonic DMP-BBT01 would also connect to your television and act as a player. If you have access to high speed internet and wifi, the player also has wifi connectivity so that you could watch Amazon or Netflix movies.

If you already have a wireless network in your house, then you can use his adapter instead of running an ethernet cable from your router to a piece of equipment. You can attach this adapter to a TV, Blu-ray player or any other piece of electronics that has both an ethernet port and a USB port. When it is attached it will allow that piece of equipment to join your wireless network.

The Belkin only connects you wirelessly to your home's wireless network. The HDMI port on your TV does not know how to process an Internet signal through HDMI. You would need some intermediate device connected to the Belkin and then to the TV to do what you want. You are better off buying an inexpensive Blu ray player that is Internet Ready and has Smart TV capability to do the job for you. You can find them as low as $50 which is not much more than the Belkin device.

Good question. If you go to Panasonic's website you can look up the model and click on the support tab. There you can download and view the user manual. You'll see on page 7 a list of USB devices this player is and is not compatible with. My guess is that it will support a USB wireless adapter, but check the list to make sure. If not, it will definately support a wireless access point and ethernet cable. One thing I'll throw out there too is that if you do get a WAP that has more than one output, you could also connect a DirecTV DVR, IPTV or receiver. I have the D-Link DAP1522 connected to my Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu-ray player (for BD-Live and firmware updates) and DirecTV DVR (for VOD downloads) and still have two ethernet jacks left for the future. With the Panasonic DMP-BD60 you can also access YouTube, Picassa, and will be able to soon access Amazon VOD.

LG BD550 Network Blu-ray Disc PlayerDoes not support the LG AN-WF100 WiFi adapter, that works only on LG t.v's. The BD-550 is wired Ethernet only and does not support the WiFi adapter.

Peripherals are not fun. Having just purchased Panasonic VIERA TC-P42G25 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV, the DY-WL10 could recognize the router but would not connect either automatically or manually. However, for a brief time I set up a mirror net with one change -- no password. Then the adapter functioned correctly. Then I went back to the original net and the adapter worked fine and asked me for the password. And that was that. But, doing the whole thing manually was not easy since I had to go blindly learning as I went. Be sure to get a copy of the relevant data from the router and ISP before setting out.
