The DMP-BD55 is one of the first Blu-Ray Player to support the Profile 2.0 standard, allowing you to use many advanced, interactive features found on new Blu-Ray discs. For example, picture-in-picture commentary (as you watch the movie the director pops up in the corner of the screen as a 'talking head' and gives you behind the scenes information), BD-Java applications (for enhanced menus and interactive features) and BD-Live (extra content you can download through the BD55's ethernet port).


Imagery is stunning thanks to Panasonic's P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD) image processor, delivering razor sharp 1080p images and supporting 24 frames per second 'original film' frame rates. Motion is also incredibly smooth without losing definition. The DMP-BD55 will also upscale your DVDs to full 1080p resolutions making them look amazing on a large LCD or Plasma.
