I guess that is how Panasonic makes this player "Ultra-Fast Booting" by spinning the disc at a super-high speed.

It is not as fast as my Oppo player which does not wine

This player, and all 2012 model year Panasonic players, contain Cinavia copy protection embedded in the player.

I wouldn't recommend this player for anyone looking to keep/use it long term.

Thank you so much for providing me with a very good Blu-ray player

This player makes more noise when playing a Blu-Ray disk then it makes when playing a DVD, but it's not any louder than playing a disk on a computer

Well worth the reasonable cost if all one wishes to have is a decent player

This player was inexpensive, playback is decent, there IS a whine on loading, but noise during playback is only an

I found the zoom handy for reading credits at the end of movies (friends of mine sometimes appear in those credits).I'm sure there are better Blu-ray players out there with a bevy of features and that perhaps don't emit a tiny whine that you can hear when you mute the audio (not a concern of mine), but they cost more.

I have scoured the internet, but I am not finding many people complaining about the same thing, so maybe I got a bad player.

This player did the trick

The player will forbid you from playing certain discs and movie files, even if legally obtained and owned.

The player often becomes unresponsive whether I use the remote or push the buttons on the player itself

D.O.A. I don't blame the player

this is a great blu ray player for the price....2 day

The "ultra fast" player is one of the slowest devices I have ever dealt with in the past few decades, and the slowest when it comes to DVD's (it no longer plays Blu Ray after just 3 weeks installed).

The player itself works awesome but they didn't send me the remote that goes with the player

This player is perfect and easy to use
