This player will play high definition Blu-ray discs and standard definition DVD's, it can access the Internet for BD-Live content, as well Netflix Instant Streaming, VUDU, and CinemaNow streaming services. It also plays DLNA content off your local network. It is not wireless, so if you need a WiFi connection, you'll need to find another unit, such as the Panasonic DMP-BDT210 Integrated-Wi-Fi 3D Blu-ray DVD Player.

For the budget-minded, it's hard to go wrong with a low-cost player that has a good reputation for performance and reliability. While it's not up to the same level of the upscale OPPO BDP-93 Universal Network 3D Blu-ray Disc Player, that player appeals to a different customer than one who is looking for a low-cost basic unit.
