Panasonic DMP-BD55

The Panasonic DMP-BD55 is a video player and recorder. It is the successor of the older DMP-BD50. However, the Panasonic DMP-BD55 has a slimmer, sleeker look compared to its predecessor, without the large, clunky flip-down panel that is replaced instead by a DVD-like disc tray in the center of the unit. It measures 16.9 inches x 9.5 inches x 2.2 inches (W x D x H) in dimension, and weighs approximately 5.7 lbs, covered in a black enclosure.
