Title: An Excellent Video Disc Player!
Review: I'm very pleased with my Panasonic UB420! The picture quality is great, especially for 4K and 1080P discs.I also like the user interface including the remote. However I do miss having a display letting me know where I'm at in a movie time wise, so my next video player will be the Panasonic one step up from this one.

Title: Best Blu-ray Player I Have Owned
Review: ***4+ years of use update: ZERO issues playing DVD, Blu-ray & 4k discs. Have not had to do anything but push the power button and insert the disc & play. Amazing picture quality. NO freezing or glitches like my previous Sony players.***I bought a new 65" 4k TV and a new 4K AppleTv in 2019. I have owned 2 generations of Sony's middle to higher end blu-ray players and have experienced loud disc spin noise plus a ton of software buggy issues with both models. Then they dumped support for Hulu. YouTube and Netflix poor to ok reliability, with the YouTube app often not working for weeks at a time. Disc playback was ok IF it didn't hangup/crash on you on initial disc insertion. So NO MORE Sony Blu-ray players for me. Researched and came across a lot of happy folks using these Panasonic models. Around the holidays it was only $149 Prime so ordered it and glad I did. Picture quality is outstanding and no issues like I was experiencing with the Sony player. Easy setup with plugging in power and HDMI cables (One is provided with the player but I bought a pair of "Atevon High Speed 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 Cable - HDCP 2.2" 6ft cables - ASIN B06XP129CT). Was able to get it connected up to my WiFi network with no trouble. Updated the firmware & good-to-go. One issue I did encounter was the Panasonic remote's power and volume buttons to control the TV did not work with my Samsung Q80 TV. Page 8 of the DP-UB820 players "advanced owners manual" (google it) explained how to reprogram the remote control - Hold the power button down and input the 2 digit tv code (Samsung #s: 20/21/22) page 26 supplied the different TV brand's codes. Now buttons are functional with my TV. I am not planning on streaming with any apps on this unit because I am very happy with the quality and ease of the 4k AppleTV. (R.I.P. Sony Blu-Ray player - & good riddance...) Hope this review helps!

Title: Excellent player when it works *updated*
Review: *Update: The problem got worse the more I used it, so I decided to file a warranty claim with Panasonic. I was nervous they would not be able to replicate the problem, but they must have seen it since they sent me a replacement unit. The new unit has worked well so far. I'm hoping the first one I had was just defective. Updated the rating to 4 stars.Original review: I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase this player. I needed a player with 2 hdmi outputs so I could send the 4k video to my projector and the audio to my older receiver. This feature is only available on a handful of players and is mostly found on higher end players. My decision came down to this player and the Sony 800mkii. There are a couple of differences between the two and many reviews about each. This player went on sale so I pulled the trigger.After connecting the player, it guided my through a simple setup to get started. I went through the menu settings and configured it to my liking. I played numerous discs and most played without issue. On a couple of discs, the video would breakup for a second or two then clear up. I did some research and found that some 4k discs could have a layer of film on them from when they were made that could cause this issue. So I used a microfiber cloth and gently wiped them before playing. This seemed to help, but some discs still had occasional issues.I called Panasonic tech support to verify this wasn't a firmware issue or something I was missing. The tech support wasn't very helpful, only suggesting that I would need to send the player in for repair. I have not yet sent it in for repair as I am concerned they won't be able to replicate the issue as it only happens occasionally on some discs and it would cost me around $25 to ship the unit.I have decided to just deal with the occasional issues and clean discs thoroughly before playing. I hope a future firmware update will resolve this issue completely as it seems is might be something related to how the player is reading the discs. That being said, every player I looked at had some reviews indicating some sort of issue.When the player is working correctly, the picture quality is excellent on bath 4k discs and standard Blu rays. The streaming services work ok, but tend to be very slow when loading. I don't use this device for streaming since it is pretty limited. It has prime and netflix as the major services, but lacks Disney plus.I would rate this player a 3.5 overall.

Review: Escalado perfecto en bluray tradicional a 4k, MEJORA EN IMAGEN Y AUDIO en bluray tradicional, le da ese "pop especial " para disfrutar tus bluray tradicionales a 4k. En cuanto la reproducción del formato fuente en 4k hdr... GUAUUUUUUUU!! 100% RECOMENDADO. EL HDR10 PLUS LO MEJOR QUE TE PUEDE DAR ESTE PANASONIC, AUNQUE TAMBIÃN EL HDR10 ESTÃTICO NO SE QUEDA ATRÃS. ESTE REPRODUCTOR TE LEVANTA EL HDR10 AUN EN UNA PANTALLA DE GAMA BAJA TODO POR SU OPTIMIZADOR HDR!! Por otro lado el sonido es una locura!!Siete meses trabajando bien, pero de la nada empezó a fallar la lectura de los discos 4k (TARDABAN DEMASIADO EN LEERLOS O SIMPLEMENTE NO LOS LEÃA) Y PEOR AÃN CUANDO RECIÃN EMPEZABAS A VISUALIZAR UN BLURAY 4K, A LOS POCOS MINUTOS SE APAGABA, TAMBIÃN EN LOS BLURAY TRADICIONAL ACABABAS DE PONER EL DISCO E INTENTABAS ATRASAR LA ESCENAS SOBRE TODO Y TAMBIÃN SE APAGABA. ESTOY POR ADQUIRIRLO NUEVAMENTE, ESPERO NO ME VUELVA A FALLAR, SIENTO QUE FUE ALGUN MOVIMIENTO BRUSCO EN LA PAQUETERÃA QUE ME LO ENVÃO (LO PUDIERON HABER AVENTADO O EL PAQUETE SE LES PUDO HABER CAÃDO, O SIMPLEMENTE NO TUVE MUCHA SUERTE.) Y EMPEZO A PRESENTAR PROBLEMAS POR LAS SECUELAS.... LO ATRIBUYO A UN SENCILLO FALSO CONTACTO.

Review: Por calidad de imagen y sonido este es el mejor reproductor Blu-ray 4K por costo beneficio, aunque el DVD está bloqueado para reproducir solo DVD Región 1 este se puede desbloquear con un control remoto universal programable, en BR no hay ningún problema los reproduce todos, en cuanto a caracterÃsticas solo se diferencia con el modelo de más alta gama BP-UB820 por carecer de Dolby Vision y salidas de audio analógicas de lo demás tiene la misma calidad de imagen y sonido, en cuanto a las apps de streaming solo cuenta con Netflix, Amazon Prime Video y YouTube solo asegurarse que se conecta inalámbricamente a la red WiFi 5ghz o AC, el control remoto es muy básico y pequeño.
