What customers say about "Key Specs"

Panasonic DP-UB820

I started with Blue Planet 2 and was immediately impressed. This is a fantastic 4k UHD demo series that's also quite entertaining to watch.
This player was able to handle everything perfectly. Even having slightly better UHD and color reproduction than my Samsung.
4K with Dolby Atmos - I watched John Wick, I love the scence where it is raining, as the atmos-speakers create a truly emersive sound field -- the rain, the bullets, the action - wow.
The Panasonic delivered the same impressive sound field as I received from the sony 4K player. It is an impressive scence and the panasonic delivered an excellent show.
Works well for the most part and the picture quality is superb. For playing regular and 4K Blu-rays this is a top notch player without having to pay top dollar.

It covers most people's needs with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support, 4k upscaling, usb connection for most of your content.
It's excellent. The player has no issues handling everything from Dolby Digital to DTS-HD Master or even TrueHD Atmos tracks.
The player sent the right signals to my receiver and completed the overall theatrical experience perfectly.

What customers say about "Outputs"

Panasonic DP-UB820

If you've set up a blu-ray player before, this will be the same out of the box. Connect the power, HDMI, and away you go.
The back panel of the players has dual HDMI outputs (one audio-only), a 7.1-channel analog audio output, USB support, a LAN connection and an optical digital output.
There is a USB port in the front under the pivoting flap. The player also has wifi connectivity.
In addition to using the player for 4K movies, I have been using it to play audio discs and FLAC files via the USB port and have been pleased with the sound quality.
Does not include an HDMI cable (for $500, it should include an HDMI cable).
