The good: Excellent image quality on Blu-ray Discs; Profile 2.0 compliant; onboard decoding for all high-resolution soundtrack formats, plus bit-stream output.
The bad: PlayStation 3 offers much more functionality and faster navigation, although it costs more.
The bottom line: The Panasonic DMP-BD35 represents the best value in standalone Blu-ray players, with excellent image quality, a comprehensive feature set, and a price that's significantly lower than the PS3.
Editors' note (March 30, 2009): The rating of this player has been changed since its initial publication to reflect changes in the marketplace.
Editors' note (February 9, 2009): This product has been discontinued. It will be replaced by the Panasonic DMP-BD60, which is expected to become available in April 2009.
Editors' note: The Panasonic DMP-BD35 and DMP-BD55 are virtually identical in most respects, and therefore their reviews are similar as well.
Over the last couple of years, the Sony PlayStation 3 has been one of the best bargains for home theater fans. It plays Blu-ray discs as well as any other player, handles high-def gaming, streams digital media, rents movies over the Internet, and, until fairly recently, it cost about the same as standalone Blu-ray players. Not to mention the fact that earlier standalone players had older Blu-ray profiles, incomplete high-resolution audio decoding, and were just plain slow to use.
The Panasonic DMP-BD35 significantly changes the game. It's a Profile 2.0-compliant player with onboard decoding for both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, and it carries a $300 list price. Furthermore, it offers excellent image quality on Blu-ray movies and it looks pretty good with standard DVDs as well. In many ways the PS3 is still a better Blu-ray player, especially when it comes to responsiveness and the fact that you can use it play games, stream media, and rent movies. But for home theater fans who just want to watch Blu-ray movies, the DMP-BD35 is the best value we've seen, and so it deserves our Editors' Choice award--the first we've given to a Blu-ray player.
Design
The DMP-BD35's exterior design has been updated significantly over previous models. It has a slim profile and because it lacks the "vibration-reducing feet" of the step-up DMP-BD55, it's a little bit shorter. Gone is the large, clunky, flip-down panel from the DMP-BD50--replaced instead by a DVD-like disc tray in the center of the unit. On the far left is the LCD screen, which can be dimmed but not turned off completely. Also on the right is a flip-down panel, underneath which you'll find the SD-card slot and a few playback controls, although chapter forward/backward skip goes missing. In all, we like the sleeker redesign.
The remote is virtually unchanged from previous designs. The center is dominated by big, blue playback buttons, including chapter skip and fast-forward/rewind. Below is a large directional pad, surrounded by other important buttons for disc menus, pop-up menus, and a general display button. Overall it's fairly well laid-out and easy to use, and the remote control can also control a TV and an AV receiver.
Features
Panasonic's DMP-BD50 was the first standalone Blu-ray player to offer Profile 2.0 support, and the DMP-BD35 is also 2.0 compliant. This means it's capable of accessing Internet-enabled special features (often referred to as "BD-Live" content) available on some movies, such as Rambo and Walk Hard. To access the features, you'll need to have the DMP-BD35 connected to the Internet via its Ethernet port, as well as have an SD card in the front panel slot. So far, BD-Live features have been pretty underwhelming, but we expect the content to improve as more compliant players hit the market and disc makers get a handle on the new technology. We will note that the DMP-BD35 still offers a significantly inferior experience to the PS3 on these interactive features--the PS3 is just faster, and its built-in hard drive is more convenient.
We were happy to see that the DMP-BD35 handled nonanamorphic wide-screen DVDs correctly. While there's no manual setting, we popped in an older version of Carlito's Way and the DMP-BD35 automatically detected the aspect ratio and properly displayed the movie. This is particularly useful on some HDTVs that lack aspect-ratio control for HD sources.
Soundtrack support is comprehensive on the DMP-BD35. It has onboard decoding for all high-resolution soundtrack formats, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, so you don't need a new receiver to take advantage of the improved audio quality. The player can also output high-resolution soundtracks in bit-stream format, so you can opt to let your AV receiver handle the decoding duties itself. There should be absolutely no sound-quality difference between the receiver decoding the soundtracks or the Blu-ray player doing so--and we've never heard any difference ourselves--but some people just like to see their receiver's "Dolby TrueHD" indicator light up.
Connectivity is standard on the DMP-BD35. The HDMI output is the most important connection, capable of outputting high-def video up to 1080p resolution, as well as high-resolution multichannel audio. There's also a component-video output, which can output Blu-ray Discs at 1080i and DVDs at 480p, along with a legacy composite-video connection. Audio connections include an optical digital-audio output, while analog audio is limited to a stereo output. If you have an older receiver and need multichannel analog audio outputs, check out the step-up Panasonic DMP-BD55.
There's also an Ethernet port in the back, which can be used for firmware updates and downloading content for BD-Live-enabled discs. Rounding out the connectivity is the SDHC-compatible SD-card slot under the front panel, which is used for BD-Live content as well as for accessing JPEGs, MP3s, and high-definition AVCHD video.
Blu-ray performance
For our Blu-ray tests, we compared the DMP-BD35 with our reference Blu-ray player, the Sony PlayStation 3. We started off looking at test patterns with both players connected to a full suite of top-performing HDTVs, including the Pioneer PRO-111FD, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U, the Samsung LN46A950, and the Samsung PN50A650. The first disc we looked at was Silicon Optix's HQV test suite on Blu-ray.
We started off with the two film-based resolution tests, and the DMP-BD35 handled them both with ease. On a shifting resolution pattern, we clearly saw every line of the detail and the panning shot of Raymond James Stadium was almost completely moiré-free. We also took a look at video-based test patterns, on which we place less importance since there aren't that many video-based Blu-ray Discs. The DMP-BD35 had no problem on the video-resolution loss test, clearing showing every line of the test pattern. It also passed two video-based jaggies tests, with moving white lines staying stable and jaggy-free. In all, the DMP-BD35 aced the test patterns we threw at it.
Patterns can be useful, but the real test is looking at the DMP-BD35 with actual program material. We started off with a few movies we know have difficult sequences. First up was Chapter 8 of Mission Impossible: III, and the DMP-BD35 had no problems with the stairs in the background, which looked detailed and free of moiré. It also handled Chapter 11 well, as the trimming on the limo was jaggy-free. Next up was Ghost Rider, and again the DMP-BD35 was excellent, showing no artifacts in the grille of the RV as the camera pulls away at the end of Chapter 6. For what it's worth, the PS3 looked just as good on the same sequences. To finish off our film-based tests we watched Pan's Labyrinth, and the DMP-BD35's image quality was outstanding, with rich colors and tons of detail.
We also looked at Tony Bennett: American Classic, which is mastered at 1080i and has some video-based material in it. The DMP-BD35 handled the disc expertly, and jaggies were nowhere to be found, not even in the difficult Chapter 7. That's impressive, as we've found several other Blu-ray players struggle with this disc, although again the PS3 was able to match the DMP-BD35's performance.
In sum, the DMP-BD35 and the PS3 offer essentially identical image-quality performance. Additionally, the differences in image quality between any one Blu-ray player and the next is generally fairly small--pretty much all the players put out a great-looking picture that blows DVD away. So, while the DMP-BD35 does look great--and we were particularly pleased with how it handled video-based material--only picky videophiles will appreciate the minor differences.
Rounding up our Blu-ray tests, we also tested the DMP-BD35's Blu-ray Disc loading speed. The DMP-BD35 performed identically to the step-up DMP-BD55. It loaded Mission Impossible: III in 20 seconds flat when the player was on after drawer close, and in 33 seconds starting with the player turned off. It was slower on discs with BD-Java menus. Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest took about a minute and 55 seconds to load while Spiderman 3 took about a minute and 35 seconds. Overall, that's pretty good for a standalone Blu-ray player, but it still pales compared with the superfast PS3.
DVD performance
When we popped in the HQV DVD, the DMP-BD35 handled the initial resolution test well, clearly displaying the full resolution of DVDs. Next up were two video-based jaggies tests, and here the DMP-BD35 stumbled a little; we could see plenty of jaggies on a test pattern with three pivoting lines. It did better on the next test of a waving flag, smoothing out many of the jaggies we usually see, and it also passed the difficult 2:3 pull-down test, eliminating moiré in the grandstands after about a second. Lastly, it handled test footage with scrolling CNN-like text with ease, which is a nice improvement over last year's DMP-BD50.
We switched over to program material and started off with the opening sequence of Star Trek: Insurrection. The DMP-BD35's 2:3 pull-down processing kicked in and rendered the curved edges of the bridge railing and boats smoothly. We switched over to Seabiscuit, which we were particularly interested in, since the DMP-BD50 struggled with this movie. Surpassing our expectations, the DMP-BD35 handled the disc with ease, showing only some mild moiré at one point during the opening sequence. Lastly, we finished up our tests by watching selected portions of The Matrix, and we were quickly sucked into the film by the DMP-BD35's image quality. Sure, if you need the absolute best, you'll want something like the Oppo DV-983H, but the vast majority of home theater fans should be satisfied with the DMP-BD35's DVD playback.

Comparing BD35 and Sony BDP-S350: I bought them both!!

Summary: I take my home theater hobby pretty seriously, that's why when it came time to invest in a Blu-Ray player (finally the wait is over!!!), I did a ridiculously great amount of research. I was willing to spend much more money on a blu-ray player, but the prices have come down so much, you don't have to! I narrowed down my extensive search for the right player to the Panasonic DMP-BD35K and the Sony BDP-S350. **I BOUGHT THEM BOTH AND DID A "SIDE-BY-SIDE" TEST!**
I have some nice equipment, so I feel that the test was an excellent representation of the capabilities of these two players. My equipment includes a 100-inch Stewart screen with a 1080p Sony Pearl front projector, an Integra 9.8 DTC processor (with all the latest surround sound goodies), an NAD amp, 7 Paradigm Signature speakers, and a dual M&K subwoofer (for full 7.1 surround sound).
I do understand electronics, but the Sony manual was really hard to follow. After only one call to Sony, I eventually got the player set up properly. After I set up the Panasonic, everything became much clearer. The Panasonic manual is so much better. But, who really cares about manuals? How do these two players perform side by side?
Audio for BOTH Blu-ray discs and standard DVDs: The Panasonic unquestionably has better audio. Compared to the Sony, the highs were much clearer. The 7.1 surround sound put me right in the middle of the "explosion" (my first test blu-ray disc was National Treasure I) when the Charlotte blew up. The biggest Audio difference was the bass. The bass in the Panasonic was so much better than the Sony. In fact, my old Sony standard-DVD player had better audio than the Sony BDP-S350. I'd give the Sony 3 stars with the audio. The Panasonic had outstanding treble, bass, and surround: 5-star audio!
Video for BOTH Blu-ray discs and standard DVDs: The Sony's video was ok, but the Panasonic's video was fantastic. The skin tones were more realistic and the colors were more vibrant with the Panasonic. The Sony seemed to have a thin gray film over everything -- like looking through a filmy-dirty window. The Sony had 4-star video, the Panasonic and its upscaling gets an easy 5 stars!
Both my wife and I did the "side-by-side" test by going back and forth between Blu-Ray discs and standard DVDs. We didn't discuss any of our thoughts until we each independently formed our own conclusions. After seeing and hearing both players, we were both in complete agreement that in every way the Panasonic DMP-BD35K was superior to the Sony BDP-S350.
By the way, the card slot on the Sony for BD-Live is very hard to get to. I do like Sony as a brand for some things, but not Blu-Ray players.
For those of you who are doing your research, hopefully I can save you some time to answer if you should buy the Panasonic DMP-BD35K or DMP-BD55K. I called Panasonic and asked the differences; besides the price, there are only two differences. The 55K plays DivX's. If you don't have any DivX's like me and most of the people on planet Earth, this doesn't make any difference to you. The only other difference is that the 35K can only output Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio to a receiver/processor that has an HDMI input. If your receiver doesn't have an HDMI input, you won't be able to get them out of the 35K. If your receiver does have an HDMI input and you'll be using an HDMI cable, then you have absolutely no need to buy the 55K. With the 55K, if you have an older receiver that does not have an HDMI input, you can use the 55K's analog audio outputs so that you can have Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio. That's a nice feature of the 55K if you have an older receiver but want the latest surround sound formats.
Also, to save you some research time, I've already checked out all of the professional reviews including the ones on CNet.com: The Sony is considered ok, and CNet liked the Panasonic so much that it is the first Blu-Ray player EVER to receive CNet's "Editor's Choice Award."
I have to go to the store now and return the Sony player that I bought. I'm keeping the Panasonic!! :-)

Summary: I like this player mostly because it incorporates the latest in Blu-Ray technology and audio output to date. It is a snap to install. With the HDMI output/input it was replaced in my system in less than 10 minutes. So far very very few complaints. CNET's review on this product is RIGHT ON.

Blu-Ray Finally Catching Up In Features
by cheateduser on December 1, 2008
Pros: Impressive HD video playback, onboard DTS-HD and TrueHD, the first level of fast forward plays understandable audio, upgradeable firmware, well designed remote, very light and relatively small footprint (I originally thought that the box was empty).
Cons: Standard def DVD upconversion may produce artifacts, requires purchase of additional external memory, limited onboard memory functions, screen saver does not work, Blu-Ray movies are ridiculously expensive and under featured.
Summary: Before using this, or any other, player it would be advisable to update firmware as some of the changes do affect playback and operation. As of December 1, 2008 the ...
Summary: Before using this, or any other, player it would be advisable to update firmware as some of the changes do affect playback and operation. As of December 1, 2008 the current firmware is version 1.5.
Panasonic responded via email to me and stating that the screen saver works as designed. I disagree based upon what is written in the Operating Instructions but don't plan to use the screen saver anyway.
Found this at big box store with a short HDMI cable included for $229 before Black Friday which is a good price for Blu-Ray although still slightly overpriced as a high definition DVD player. I will not repeat what others have already said concerning the vast improvement in high definition video over standard definition but this is what I have found:
The profile 2.0 standard permits manufacturers to provide insufficient onboard memory to support BD-Live and popup functions but fails to specify minimum and maximum requirements for movies making it impossible for users to determine if they need to purchase a class 2, 4 or 6 SDHC card and of what capacity. Incorporation of BD-Live content in movies is inconsistent and to date seems to be more prevalent in horror and more violent type flicks. A user will probably have to frequently erase old files to free memory on the SDHC card.
Pressed the fast forward button during playback and learned that the first setting is more of a rapid play with audio also being speeded along.
Tested the upconversion of some standard DVD and found that standard definition DVD produced more than a few years ago suffer some artifacts whereas newer do not appear to. Specific examples were some vertical blues wavy lines against a blue sky background with a large number of planes flying in simulated combat when playing Battle of Britain and occasional choppy scene transition when going from a brightly scene immediately to another brightly lit scene in The Santa Claus 2 and these same movies did not have these artifacts when played in either a previous HD DVD player or standard definition player. I did adjust settings to verify that these artifacts were repeatedly created and not the result of my choice of settings. These artifacts did not seem to occur when playing newer or more recently produced standard definition DVD. Otherwise upconversion seemed to be adequate and close to what my HDTV already provides.
Disc formats that cannot be played include DVD-ROM, SACD, Photo CD, DVD-Audio, SVCD and WMA discs so it might be better to use Blu-Ray (or at least this player) as the primary playback device and keep an existing DVD or HD DVD player to continue to play other media formats that you may own.
Each manufacturer has to decide what features are to be included but these players have limited ability to resume play once the Stop button is pushed - resume only occurs on standard definition DVD playback. Bookmarks are lost when a disc is removed. When jumping to a scene or bookmark the lag time to resume audio is a bit excessive, not enough to be a problem but close. According to the Operating Instructions there is a screen saver after periods of inactivity but it appears that this was disabled in firmware updates but I do not yet have a response from Panasonic to determine if this was intentional or is to be corrected. However, the screen saver would be inoperable with most Blu-Ray discs as they load Java and, again, I do not know why this is.
Since I previously owned a Toshiba HD DVD player (A30) I was not overwhelmed by the high definition playback but was underwhelmed by Blu-Ray?s extremely slow development of standard player features which has resulted in continued inflation of media prices since licensing fees are so high and production lines had to be replaced whereas HD DVD would have required only modification of production equipment as HD DVD was more of DVD on steroids. Overall, the two new Panasonic players finally bring Blu-Ray up to the features that were standard in HD DVD two years ago. Admittedly I am not happy with the fact that the decision between the basically equal formats was not allowed to be resolved by consumer choice.
Updated on Dec 13, 2008
Right now Logitech does not have correct information in their database for programming their universal remotes for the DMP-D35K or DMP-D35K. Logitech responded that if enough people corrected the errors by using the learning functions of their universal remotes they will eventually update their database. Logitech errors include many commands related to multiple discs (this is a single disc player) and missing commands needed to bookmark spots, top menu, etc. They have a bookmark command but it doesn?t work, it needs to transmit the ?B? key code. Seems that Logitech should be paying us for creating the correct programming for their devices. Not a player problem since the Panasonic remote is so well designed, just keep it handy.4 out of 5 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Researching Blu-Ray has been an obsession of mine and review after review was substandard. Reading this review I knew I had found a solid buy, but I had no idea how terrific this player would be. Standard DVD image quality is above and beyond anything I could have expected, functionality is terrific and Blu-Ray image quality is as advertised. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Outstanding, ethernet/wireless hookup a breeze!
by tom10i on December 6, 2008
Pros: Worked right out of the box and hooked into two Panasonic BL-PA100A Ethernet Adaptor plugin adaptors (both plug into wall electrical outlet, one has ethernet wire to Linksys router, other to DMP-BD35.
Cons: None that I can find, unless one needs to do a non-HDMI hookup, then get the 55.

Summary: Was able to get connection immediately as DMP-BD35 immediately recognized my wireless connection as a normal ethernet hookup! This despite my router being encrypted. The various components, all of which had very well written instruction booklets (someone who wrote these obviously not only reads and writes fluent English but also understands how to convey how to explain the intracacies of hooking things up and the problems one may have.) These components definitely play well together! All of the comments by other writers re the superb sound and visuals are absolutely true. Highly recommended. Why wait for the unit to drop another $25 or $50?

Fantastic Value! Buy it!
by olsonan on November 18, 2008
Pros: Easy set up, fantastic picture and sound, good remote. Great price!
Cons: Slow to load discs, although apparently this is true of most Blu-Ray players.

Summary: I had been holding out on getting a Blu-ray because I knew the price would eventually fall dramatically. I wanted a good value but didn't want to give up quality. I was able to get this unit for $241 on 6th Ave Electronics with free shipping (go to Bountii for the coupon code). Considering the fantastic array of audio decoding modes and Profile 2.0 compliance, plus objectively fantastic picture quality, this player was a no-brainer. The picture (even on my older 720p native resolution DLP) was much better than with my upconverting DVD. Amazingly, the sound seemed to be clearer and better imaged with my 5.1 surround setup even though I was running the player through my old receiver with just a stereo connection(?). The only downside (-.5 star) is that it is slower than hell when loading discs and going from playback to the disc menu.

AVCHD playback is lousy.
by tvphil on January 3, 2009
Pros: Great video and audio quality from commercial Blu Ray and DVD disks.
Cons: AVCHD content won't play from either DVD or from SD reader as advertised. Panasonic camcorders seem to be the only AVCHD content that will play.
Summary: Normally I trust CNET reviews, but they blew it this time. It doesn't appear they did any testing of AVCHD content on this player. If they had, I think ...
Summary: Normally I trust CNET reviews, but they blew it this time. It doesn't appear they did any testing of AVCHD content on this player. If they had, I think it would have gotten the much lower ratingi it should have gotten. I feel like I was duped by both Panasonic and CNET.

Cons: Remote looks a little cheesy with all the colors and bulbous shape (but is 100% logical and functional)

Summary: This was my first High Definition DVD player. It worked out of the box with an all HDMI setup. The sound is clear with crisp highs and deep bass. The minimalist design of the DMP-BD35 fits perfectly with today's remote-based operation. There is an on/off button and an open/close button; all other controls are supported via the remote. On-screen menus are easy to read and visually navigate. It supports the all the digital outputs and processing necessary to function with today's moderate to high-end home theater components.
Bottomline: If you want a high-performing, simple to setup, easy to use, cost conscious Blu-ray player...you found it. Stop searching.
