DP-UB420-K 4K UHD Streaming Blu Ray Disc Player

This is a great player. The picture and sound quality are superb.I gave the "User Interface" only 3 stars, because: The unit only comes with a Basic Owner's manual, which is VERY limited. You need to go on the web to dig into what this player is capable of doing and that is about everything except make your breakfast! I have not had time to go through everything. But one item I use often is subtitles. There is a button on the remote for subtitles, however It does not always work on older DVDs or perhaps all DVDs. You have to know if the subtitles are digital or analog! In other words when you push the "CC" button to get subtitles, good luck. If you use your DVD player to stream (which I do) the only streaming service I have been able to get the player to lock into is Prime Video. Have not been able to get my VUDU account to come up. So it is a good thing that I have the Apple TV 4K !I would also like to mention the Remote Control. Why do they have to make it so the buttons are so small, except for the NETFLIX button which I keep pushing when using the arrow keys?Bottom line: I bought this player for the quality of the picture and sound when watching 4K, Blu ray and regular DVDs, then this machine shines.

***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!

A good value player. This model has been around for a while. My first one lasted just over 5 years (the laser-reading mechanism stopped working). Excellent picture quality. Easy to connect to your tv (HDMI cable NOT included). My only 2 complaints are no front screen information and a clunky remote control (too many buttons and not well laid out, but it gets the job done). For the price, it's a good deal if you just need a basic 4K disc player!

This 4K Blu-ray player works excellent! With my previous Sony Blu-ray player, the Wicked movie in Blu ray would jutter or stutter at times during playback. Not so with this Panasonic. This machine plays the Wicked movie flawlessly. Also, some people have had playback problems with the Back to the Future Ultimate Trilogy Blu-ray set. This machine plays all three of the movies perfectly. What an awesome machine, indeed!
