Picture Improvement, but Build Quality and Remote Function Regression

I replaced my Panasonic DP-RP62 DVD player(still working) with this, because Panasonic no longer makes just a Blu-Ray player, which is all that I wanted. I still have a Panasonic 1080P plasma tv, so was not interested in all the 4K stuff. I also don't have internet at home, due to living out in the country, so all the online apps were of no interest to me. Comparing it to my old, made in Japan DVD player, the only thing that this improves is the picture, which is great. It is not built nearly as well as my old player, there is no dispay on the front for playing CDs, and the remote on the new player is a joke, compared to the remote on my old one. The remote size is about the same, but the new one lost many functions that are on the old remote, such as zoom, subtitle, cinema mode, setup, program, dialogue enhancer. On the old player, if I wanted to turn on subtitles after starting a British movie, I just hit the subtitle key on the remote. I still haven't figured out how to turn on the subtitles after starting a movie, on the new one. I gave it 3 stars for the great picture and sound on Blu-ray disks, and the upscaling does a good job on a standard DVD. Other than that,I consider it a large step backwards from my 17 yr old player.

Remote is your only option.

Nice unit. I'd give it 5 Stars if it had touch controls on the player instead of only being able to use the remote.

Very easy to hook up to my 4K TV Attach an hdmi cable from tv to the Blu-ray player and it was all set to go. I did have to get an hdmi to rca converter to hook up my receiver, everything is working great. Can't beat the price for everything this Blu-ray has to offer.

Quality Products and Service

I always prefer dealing with Crutchfield and their top notch technical support staff. Panasonic media players are consistently the best in the consumer market place.

Nice Player

For the price point, this is an excellent player for discs. It's also loaded with many features for tweaking video. Picture quality is excellent but the onboard apps are problematic at times.

The picture quality is excellent due to HCX chip in this player. Very easy to set up and like various option to adjust picture quality. Only drawback is missing Dolby Vision (DV). But overall very solid player for picture and sound with sale price. I Would highly recommend.

Best 4k Bluray player for the money as long as you don't need Dolby Vision. I waited for Crutchfield to put it on sale and jumped on it immediately. I hooked it up immediately and played a couple 4k movies with my 82" Samsung Q82R. Very nice combination that looks great. No complaints whatsoever. I was going to go with the 820, but I couldn't justify the jump in price.

Good for the price

So far haven't used it much. It seems pretty lightweight. I played a cd with it and it sounded very good (Beatles Abbey Road Delux). Also watched an old Columbo dvd. It upscaled the image well. For the price I am very satisfied. I have it hooked up to a Marantz NR 1609.

Panasonic Player Scores

For my purposes, an excellent machine. I didn't need Dolby Vision or super high end surround options on this, so no points deducted. I did need brilliant 4K UHD HDR picture, easy navigation, and perfectly listenable aiudio playback. Set up was a breeze, and disc playback was stable and completely reliable - totally unlike the similarly priced Sony player I had to send back (to a different retailer) which was total junk. Never had a problem with Panasonic.

Nice Player - Please give it a front panel display

Bought this player to replace a brand new Sony UPB-X800M2 unit that refused to play standard DVDs. Crutchfield's great technical support and return policy made that process simple. This Panasonic unit was simple to setup although the firmware update took much longer than I expected. The menu interface is simple and easy to use and the player has a small footprint compared to other DVD players. The picture quality (connected to my LG OLED TV) has been outstanding and the player syncs well with the TV and my Bose Soundbar 700 via CEC. The only reason I didn't give this player 5 stars is that it really should have a display on the front panel so you can tell what it's doing. All you get is a little red light to let you know it's turned on. The lack of display seems to be typical of players in this price range but I'd gladly pay a few extra dollars for a small display.

Great player

Unbelievable product, the 4k Blu-ray player of 2019 It doesn't matter that this player lacks Dolby vision because the HDR optimizer is just as good. I highly recommended this player

Bargain Powerhouse

The DP-UB420 fills a need I had within my home theater. I feel that running a projector with HDR content is part science and part art. The UB420's HDR Optimizer allows you to dial in your HDR picture for each movie. Rather than just compromise on one setting with a static calibration you can change the settings on the fly. As I said, part science and part art. I gave it 4 stars because I know the 820 or 9000 are more solidly built. Otherwise it's quite a bargain for the features.

Superior Video to Oppo 203

Wonderful budget player. Lacks Dolby Vision but other than that it puts out video comparable to the much more expensive Panasonic UB820 and UB9000 models and beats my Oppo 203. Very basic remote and build quality to keep the price low, but you can always go to eBay for upgraded backlit remote from the UB9000 model for under $20. Highly recommended if you don't need Dolby Vision or the audiophile upgrades of the more expensive Panasonic players. As a bonus it can play most region B and C Blu-rays--just hit Stop on remote when region error message appears and then hit Top Menu button once or twice, though this trick doesn't work for DVDs.
