It features a slim design just like previous Panasonic models.With its corporate commitment to improve the environment,Panasonic has reduced the players depth by 18 percent, resulting in a 15 percent reduction in the cartons volume.A small footprint of only 7.8 inches depth certainly makes for easy placement even if you have space constraints.Below the disc tray is a thin flap that conceals an SD card slot and USB port.You can view your digital photos and high definition videos shot on AVCHD format stored on the SD cards.The SD slot supports SDHC cards from 4GB to 32GB and SDXC cards from 32GB to 2TB. The USB port offers a way of playing MP3 music directly and viewing your digital photos.In addition, the development of the UniPhier single chip LSI makes it possible to pack an entire video signal processing circuit onto a single chip.This helps lower power consumption,reduces the number of parts needed and allows for a more compact design.
