Panasonic Blu Ray Player

April 10th, 2009 |

Blu ray technology is the name given to the blu-ray disc because of the blue laser used to read and write on these types of discs. The wavelength of the blue laser is more shorter a large than red laser, so a lot more data can be stored on a blu-ray disc compared to a typical DVD disc which is burned using a red beam light. A blu-ray disc can store approximately six times the amount of a two-layer DVD, and even as much as ten and a half times that of a standard DVD. It can put all of the information needed, a better , clearer picture on a single disc. The reason for development of blu ray technology has been cited as the surge in HDTV viewing and the demand for more storage space on discs. Blu ray discs mostly contain High Definition data, movies and images, which can be easily played using a blu ray player and can be viewed on any system offering HDTV resolutions.

A blu ray player then is simply the electronic device that plays blu-ray discs as like as a dvd player plays dvd’s.

There are regions where a blu-ray disc can only be played in which the disk is. Multi-region players play all 3 regions of bluray discs that are available through out the world.

Region 1 is made up of North America, Central America, South America, Japan, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.
Region 2 is made up of Europe, Greenland, French territories, Middle East, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
Region 3 is made up of India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Mainland China, Pakistan, Russia, Central, and South Asia.

This means if you have a Region “1″ bluray player, you will not be able to play a region “2″ or a region “3″ disc and so on.
