Panasonic Bd Recorders Enter France After Hd Debut

摘要

At IFA 2008, the highlight of Panasonic Corp.'s exhibits for general visitors was the BW500 Blu-ray Disc (BD) recorder, one of the first BD recorders for the European market. In Europe, digital broadcasting has been expanding gradually. However, high-definition (HD) broadcasting has not made much headway. Therefore, thus far, BD recorders have not been marketed in Europe. However, with full-scale HD broadcasting finally under way in France in October, Panasonic plans to introduce the BD recorder in that country in November.
