Be prepared to see sponsored ads in the menu!

Panasonic go to great lengths to tell you about the specifications of this DVD player except for the fact that they have sponsored ads they promote written right into the DVD's menu! Tyson Chicken, tire ads, etc. etc. To add insult to injury, the online support says there's no way to turn them off!
Pros:
  • Inexpensive
  • Easy to use
Cons:
  • sponsored ads in the player's menu

Smart Blu-ray, Good Price

Have owned this player for 2 months and it's perfect. My tv is an older LCD so it's not "smart" but this blu-ray player turns it into a "smart" tv. I love that I can put a flash drive into the usb on the front, and the buttons are well-placed on the top edge of the player.

A decent Blu-ray player marred by ads

The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 is a mostly solid Blu-ray player, except it serves up obnoxious ads in its onscreen interface.
Pros:
  • The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 offers excellent Blu-ray and DVD image quality
  • Its selection of streaming services is good and it's a relatively inexpensive player
Cons:
  • Advertising is built in to several of the menus, including undefeatable video ads in the app marketplace
  • The menu system can be a little perplexing at first and it's easy to hit the Netflix button on the remote by accident.

Panasonic DMP-BDT230 review

In the world of Blu-ray players, you get what you pay for, and if you're after the very best in Full HD detail, Panasonic is definitely the brand to head for. As such, the Japanese manufacturer's mid-range DMP-BDT230 could be star of the show this year.

Great Blu-ray picture, terrible reliability.

Wifi adapter is internal, setup stated wifi connection failed due to removal of wifi adapter. When searching for networks, none are detected.
Pros:
  • Great image quality
Cons:
  • Software locks up often
  • Unable to turn on/off on occasion
  • WiFi failed after 1 week of use
  • UI is clunky: wife and daughter hate it

Simple and works

I purchased 15 of these in a pinch and I have had really good luck with them. I am VERY grateful that Panasonic reverted back to their older remote design. I had many complaints about their touch style remote. It loads quick and runs quiet.
Pros:
  • Quick Loading And Quiet
Cons:
  • none
