Panasonic Blu-ray recorder DMR-BW500

Jun 17 02:45pm

- Australia is the first country outside of Japan to receive what is the first home theatre Blu-ray recorder.

What is most extraordinary about the Panasonic DMR-BW500 is not that it is the first consumer Blu-ray recorder - although that is itself pretty extraordinary - but that it performs that, and its other functions - so well.

RRP$2299.00

Blu-ray sounds great, although I just last year got a high defination box, what other feature does it have and how much does it cost?

Blu-ray sound brilliant but, doesn't it all stem back to your signal strength. If your area does not receive a perfect signal wouldn't it be a waste of time?. Also the monitor would have to be full HD. Possibly have to run it through a digital surround system as well.
