I got mine a few weeks ago and I really like it a lot. This is my second Blu-ray player and it greatly superior to my first one (Sharp). Hope you enjoy yours as much as I'm enjoying mine. \:\)

Quick question for you treyp. On Panasonic's website, it only says "DTS High Resolution" and not "Master Audio" Can the BD55 decode master audio? thanks

Yes, it can. Can't find an online version of the Operating Instructions, but my hard copy says it decodes, in addition to all the Dolby Digital formats:

DTS Digital Surround/ DTS-ES
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio

Apparently DTS High Resolution Audio and DTS Master Audio are lumped together under the classification DTS-HD

Here are some reviews on the BD55. They contain some good tips on setup and operation.
