Panasonic DMP-BD65 Blu-ray player review: An excellent Blu-ray player with 7.1ch audioRead more
The budget Panasonic DMP-BD65 Blu-ray player is still a worthy machine, but its close rivals have caught it upRead more
The DMP-BD65 is fairly expensive for a mid-range Blu-ray player, and it's not heaving with features, but it does the most important things very well indeed. Its picture quality is great, it's fairly speedy and its YouTube access is a welcome bonus, as is its ability to play music, photo and video files via USB and SD cardsRead more
