    Customers say

    Customers praise the 4K Blu-ray player's picture quality on 1080p monitors and its straightforward setup process. The functionality and playability receive mixed reviews - while it flawlessly plays standard DVDs, some report issues with 4K discs, and some units stop working after two years. Moreover, the sound quality is mixed, with reports of sound cutting out every few minutes, and the remote control is criticized for being a nightmare to use. Additionally, the build quality and value for money also get mixed feedback, with some finding it well-built and worth the cost, while others describe it as cheap quality and not worth the money.

    4 out of 5 stars
    I'm not sure I like it.
    The first thing I did not expect or really like is the TINY footprint. I guess you cannot tell from the photos of the unit on the Amazon site that it is tiny. I expected a traditional 17" or so wide—traditional AV product. In the photo I have attached the unit is sitting on top of my Yamaha receiver so you can compare the size. As soon as you start the unit up you are presented with an option to use "THE VOICE" to help with setup. Dummy me. I clicked Yes to that option. A super annoying 2X speed woman's voice goes off on a tangent to help you with setup. It's awful and you have to really study the manual to turn her off. That's of course after you download the REAL manual which does not come with the unit. Another annoyance—There are no useable play, stop etc. buttons on the physical unit itself. You HAVE to use the remote control. I like to put a music CD in and then push a play button on the unit. But there is no button to push on the unit. So you have to go chase down the remote. This is a pretty pricey player. I paid about $250. That's too much. I see some others on here got it for 1/2 that. Anyway, I'm not sure I like it much and will need more time to decide. Seems like other players I reviewed have their own issues, so...

    • Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2021
      Unlike my last 4k player, the Sony x700, bought early this year, this Panasonic is head and shoulders better. It does everything it does better than the Sony--not just a little better--a lot better. It's real close to perfect, imo. Don't buy the x700 Sony player unless you plan to start a betting pool on whether or not your streaming movies from Netflix and Amazon or your DVDs, your BluRays, or your 4k discs will lock up and freeze--or you want to take bets on how often a single stream or disc will lockup and freeze. The only relief for the Sony x700 when it locks up (not if) is a power off. I'm not anti-Sony by any means, in fact I originally bought the x700 because my streaming and BluRay experience with my prior Sony BluRay player was excellent--not a single freeze or lockup in years of use--right up until Amazon Prime Video dropped the player due to its obsolescence. If you are skeptical, just Bing/Google/Duck "Sony x700 freezes" or something similar and you will be amazed at how many similar reports you will discover. Unfortunately, for me, I bought the x700 before I did my usual due diligence on my experience with my last Sony player/streamer because that experience had been so good. One guy I read commented that he had never had a lockup with his x700 over a 17-month period; another guy I read commented in various AV forums that he had to swap his x700 out *five times* before he got one that wouldn't freeze. It's such a common experience with the x700 that Sony even addresses the freezes on the official support site for the x700, and provides power-cycling instructions.

      The only thing the UB420-k doesn't have that some people want these days is Dolby Vision support. I don't have a DV television, just an HDR 10 television, and didn't want to pay $200 more for the UB-820 just to get Dolby VIsion support...;) (The x700 supports Dolby Vision, but in a constantly freezing product, who cares?)

      Even the settings pages for the UB420 are simple, direct, extremely easy to understand, and every setting has an explanation included on-screen. The interface couldn't be simpler to use. Just tick the feature boxes down the list and the UB-420 does it right. (The Sony x700 setting pages were enough to confuse even me, and I like to think I know what I'm doing...;))

      One last comparative comment: the remote for the UB420 is far superior to the one included with the x700--because it not only is ~33% larger, which allows you to feel your way around the buttons comfortably, it also means the keys are often larger and spaced further apart. It's very comfortable in my hands in use.

      I read the negative comments about the UB-420 in this forum and they left me shaking my head...;) Not even close to my own experience. It works seamlessly and perfectly with my Sony AV receiver-amp, as well, btw.

      Last, after ~48 total hours of disc playing consisting of DVD movies, BluRay movies and 4k movies, it's a joy to report not a single lockup or freeze! (I use a ROKU Ultra to stream these days.)

      The manual is online... get it ASAP.
      EASY setup is straight forward. Connect your HDMI 2.1 cable from the units HDMI 1 port (video & audio) to your 4k or better TV. (you should have NOT purchased this unit if you don't have 4k or better unless you plan on getting one soon.) I'm using a 12' cable from Walmart actually. This unit has wifi and RJ45 networking capability. Plug in a cat 5 or better cable if you choose to hardwire your network and connect t your switch/router/hub. Plug the unit in and follow the onscreen instructions.
      OK you're "ready" to play your discs.

      NOW!!!! if you want to dig into the advanced features that manual you downloaded is a starting place. You'll likely find https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/bd/faq/vc/setupAA.html most helpful for Alexa... This is where this unit lost a star. It's possibly easier to obtain the nuclear launch codes than to register your email AND unit to use the "skill". First one needs to register their email Then verify the email by following the link panasonic emails. MOST sites are good with that but panasonic then requires you to activate your panasonic account. Then and only then can you register the unit.... which requires the ID and password buried in the system settings of the player.... just follow the link closely.

      The remote..... has almost as many keys as a laptop keyboard. Eventually you'll only need a few of them... like power on/off and play/pause and eject.

      The menu.... WOW WOW WOW... the base screen is simple enough... after that finding things can get confusing. My biggest gripe (and it may be a matter of finding a feature) is that when adding other services (beyond the pre installed Netflix, prime and a few others) is that they are added in the order added. There doesn't seem to be a way to change the order. They do offer two "after hours" services so you probably want to save those for later to keep them off the first of four services screens. Speaking of those "adult" services... all two of them... to be able to add them you'll need to set the parental password. Just what you need another password. I counted a need for no less than 4 for this unit never mind the passwords for any services you'll add/subscribe to.
      Speaking of services... currently there doesn't seem to be much of a selection.. no hulu, pluto, directTV NOW, Spectrum (Time Warner) or others.... maybe there will be more in a future update?

      Front panel has a USB 2.0 port. Back of unit has a USB 3.0 port... I'm guessing 3.1 or true 3.0. Supposedly one can connect a 4 TB drive but you'll need one with its own power supply as the player does NOT provide power per the manual. Additionally the unit is supposedly capable of accessing network shares.... I haven't tested this but can confirm it does NOT connect to a WD NAS EX4 natively. The manual indicates it will support DLNA... I'll look for that in the future... I have Emby Premiere... (one of those maybe in the future apps) that I access through a Fire Stick.

      There is a 2nd HDMI out (audio only) that in theory provides higher quality sound than the HDMI 1 which is video & audio. There's also an optical out. Things will get interesting once I get the AVR I want... I'll need to determine the best way to cross connect everything with limited ports... Most AVR at my price point only support one optical in and one out.

      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 características 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.
