USA DVDs can be played on USA TVs, and foreign DVDs can be played on multi-system TVs.
The Blu-ray format offers some of the most vivid, detailed imagery available today. This player supports full HD 1080p resolution, so you can enjoy your favorite Blu-ray titles with realistic picture quality. It supports decoding for 7.1 channels of audio, and supports lossless audio formats DTS-HD Master Audio Essential and Dolby Digital Plus, which are found on many Blu-ray discs. That means you can send high definition surround sound to your multi-channel sound system to round out your home-based cinema experience.
This system is Wi-Fi ready, so you can fill your living room with non-stop multimedia entertainment, including streaming from many paid and free services. You'll be able to watch movies and catch up with your favorite TV shows using your Netflix account, or watch video clips on YouTube.

In addition to MP3 format, the DMP-BD77 supports the lossless FLAC audio file type, so you can enjoy high definition playback of your music. Since it's DLNA compatible, it's easy to share content over your network with other devices that support the DLNA protocol.

With VIERA Link, you can use just one remote for all your devices including the DMP-BD77 if they share the HDMI-CEC qualification.
