Panny BD30 issues

67.160.230.204

SHIF

I purchased my Panasonic BD30 back in December. It is connected to my Mitsubishi 65833 DLP via HDMI 1.3 cables (monoprice.com). I do not have a surround processor or HT audio system yet so all audio is delivered through the television.

The Panny performs flawlessly with every Blu-Ray disc so far. We run through a couple movies per week thanks to Netflix. My issue is that this player sucks with regular DVDs. It does a fine job up-sampling the image and all that, however the unit starts to sputter, stall, and then stop completely during playback after a few minutes. This happens with every standard DVD tested.

Have other BD30 owners experienced this with DVDs?

Will a firmware update solve the issue?

That's the latest firmware from Panasonic for the BD30. I don't know if it'll fix your issues, but I wouldn't have the player checked out unless you're using the latest firmware. If it still has problems after v1.6 is installed, you will probably have to get it serviced.

Here's a link to the Panasonic v1.6 firmware thread at AVS:
