Reviews around tv (5.00 of 5)

  • It is very responsive and if you do not have a Smart TV , you know, with WiFi and all of the goodies then this little BlueRay
  • The only nit I have to pick is that is sometimes wants to switch the TV (Samsung Smart TV) to 3-D mode when starting up.
  • We also have a Panasonic TV so the remote works for both, which is nice.
  • In my case I have a Samsung Smart TV, so if I need to change the volume, I have to grab another remote
  • I love my Panasonic Plasma TV, but can't warm up to this player

Reviews around setup (5.00 of 5)

  • the setup is easy and you can connect to wifi or lan fairly quickly.
  • Overall, I would recommend this player because of it's ability to do firmware updates, fast load/boot time, easy setup, nice Netflix integration, and Panasonic brand name
  • After running the Easy Network Setup, go to Network Settings6
  • I don't really have any other bluray players to compare it against, but it appears to play my bluray movies fine, setup was easy.
  • Easy setup, changed region automatically, 3D worked, Netflix is easy to use

Reviews around job (5.00 of 5)

  • Overall, both in video and audio the DMP-BDT230 does a good job
  • if you want one that will do a good job with upconverting regular DVDs, play most Blu-rays without issues, and give you access to Netflix and Amazon Prime (we have both, so having aps for both is important to us).
  • Panasonic does not do a good job explaining what the "Media Renderer" does
  • Try to get on the internet, goes to black screen of death and just freezes, AGAIN!The network adapter must be made of bubble gum and baling wire as my 6-7 year old Wii does a better job and faster job as well as staying connected and accessing Netflix than this garbage

Reviews around sound (5.00 of 5)

  • Well, when it finally decides to start playing a movie (I have mostly blu-rays), it works beautifully - great picture and sound
  • While this machine delivers a fine picture and nice sound, as a player it is flawed in a number of critical ways
  • A reminder that you do need an optical cable connection from the receiver to get the best sound
  • Well, when it finally decides to start playing a movie (I have mostly blu-rays), it works beautifully - great picture and sound
  • Easy set-up, remote with batteries; great picture and sound

Reviews around tech support (5.00 of 5)

  • I spoke tithe tech support, but was unable to correct the problem
  • The unit preformed flawlessly, until 3 days after the cut off time to return it to Amazon, forcing me to deal with Panasonic tech support.
  • After about 40 minutes of doing things I had already done before calling tech support, the phone went silent, then disconnected
  • Finally called Tech support and was informed that NONE of the Panasonic players support a watchlist .
  • When I called panasonic tech support I spent an hour on the phone trying to fix that by entering numerous codes

Reviews around ray (4.76 of 5)

  • Although, I generally prefer the earlier BDT220 to the new BDT230, I nonetheless consider the BDT230 to be a good Blu-Ray player for the money.
  • The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 player is an excellent, affordable blu ray player.
  • Overall, it's a nice, basic blu-ray player for this price point.
  • I purchased this blu-ray player (on Aug 30, 2013) because the last one I bought about a year ago wouldn't play blu-ray discs - how ironic!
  • This seems like a solid Blu-Ray Player that will last for years

Reviews around picture (4.75 of 5)

  • but it would freeze playing blu ray disks, brand new disks no scratches, the audio would continue but you would loose picture
  • 3D BD player with excellent picture quality, then I would recommend it to you
  • While this machine delivers a fine picture and nice sound, as a player it is flawed in a number of critical ways
  • Easy set-up, remote with batteries; great picture and sound
  • so I can't say if the picture is any better, and I haven't tried Netflix or any other online feature of the player.

Reviews around price (3.99 of 5)

  • Sets up easily, works well, and great to have streaming capability at a modest price.
  • This is a no brainer, works flawlessly easy to use and a great price
  • all depends on the internet connection you have in regards to speed, very good player and good price
  • This is a no brainer, works flawlessly easy to use and a great price

Reviews around interface (3.61 of 5)

  • Works like a champ, better interface, better apps, better Wi-Fi connection, faster power up and load times.
  • Overall I also found the interface to be fairly user-friendly, though not quite as user friendly as LG.
  • The interface is its major weakness, and one that should be easy to resolve
  • And the interface is not "responsive" - in terms of being useful on a variety of screen sizes
  • But the interface and icons are not as intuitive or user-friendly on this player

Reviews around hardware failure (2.94 of 5)

  • The Media render continues to work as it did on last years model.
  • explained that I was starting to lose my patience and would wait for that supervisor if it took all day and night!A few minutes later the tech support guy came back and explained to me that I had a hardware failure, as if he just figured that one out for himself, and that I should return the unit and everything that came with it, including the paperwork
  • I called a third time and AGAIN explained the situation, to be told that there was no record of me ever calling, after handing over quite a bit of information about myself, the purchase of the unit and what was done to come to the conclusion that it had a hardware failure
  • The Media render continues to work as it did on last years model.
  • Seems that when you receive a message telling you to stick a Wi-Fi into the USB slot that's a hardware failure

Reviews around thing (1.76 of 5)

  • The only good thing about this is that it seems to be able to play DVDs/Blu-Ray discs fine
  • The manual buttons on the machine also have a crisp snap so none of that touch the wrong thing working here
  • The darn thing began to freeze when playing discs and streaming videos online
  • This thing is a poor player (way too many lags and glitches) and it is not a streamer.
  • Heard great things about this player, but the sound coming from a blu-ray disc was distorted.
