Panasonic DMP-BD70V

The Panasonic DMP-BD70V is a Profile 2.0 HD blu-ray player based on PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus high-image processing technology that reproduces clear, vivid, and realistic colors for an enhanced entertainment experience. The second of three Panasonic DMP-BD players, the Panasonic DMP-BD70V is an upgrade from the Panasonic DMP-BD60 in that it features a built-in VHA player designed to scale any VHS recording up to 1080 HD. In all other ways, however, the DMP-BD70V is practically a duplicate of its peer.The Panasonic DMP-BD70V retails for a slightly more expensive $449.99 (versus 399.99) and comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
