I feel like the technology train has left my station a long time ago, so sorry if I sound silly asking this question. But reading about all the discs it supports, does this mean you can play regular plain ole movie DVD’s I have in addition to blue-ray dvd’s? My main hesitancy in getting a new system has always been not wanting to replace my dvd movie collection.

Yes, any blu-ray player should be able to play DVDs without issue. I’ve never heard of one that can’t.

Hi, Could you please advise me if the Panasonic 5.1 CH HTS w/3D Player, will work ok in New Zealand?? I know the plug is different but that can be rectified here to our 2 or 3 Pin Plug. Thanks for your advice.
Cheers
Robin

as someone already stated the voltage difference but also NZ is region 1 US is region 4 for DVDs and NZ is region B for Bluray US is region A so if you brought any blurays for this unit you would have to buy region free discs or region A so if you have someone here buying and shipping it to you you will need something like this stepdown converter also a list of region free blurays I use if I’m sending a bluray home to NZ bluray list

It’ll play dvd movies, and also your old music CDs if you want to listen to music (no need to turn on the tv).

How about .01%THD 500W/channel into 8 ohm Snell Speakers from my 1974 Carver monoblock amps. And what is the impedence of these speakers? Are they the 3 ohms as the power of this amp is reated?

@tlapin

Compared to a “real” audio receiver the power output is TRASH. 10% THD (distortion) compares poorly with under 1% for anything halfway decent.

Total Power Output:
(1 kHz, 10% THD)
