Panasonic 4K Bluray Players UB420 UB820 UB9000 Settings That Many People Missed

[@SuperKiroChan]

I followed the guide and it works fine with my Sony OLED with 4K/60 4:4:4. Initially, I thought 4:4:4 was not working but it turned out to be a older HDMI cable which was not certified to handle UHD (only HD) as I was getting random picture break ups until I replaced it with one which is and the issue disappeared. Just curious, I noticed the resolution, you had it hard set to 4K instead of Auto, this should not matter correct?

[@DavidSusiloUnscripted]

Great! If you use a Sony TV, whether you force 4K or Auto it makes no difference. The biggest problem is when you use “cheapo” TVs and projectors which can make the handshake to take much longer time.

[@jw6180]

Setting up the 420 today for my new Visio OLED. When the 4K movie starts, it still says HDR in the upper right corner. Not sure what I did wrong? Dolby Atmos is engaged! Picture looks good. I’ll double check my HDMI cable and port. 👍

[@DavidSusiloUnscripted]

Dolby Vision is not affected by my settings. It is Dolby’s licensing agreement that DV settings can not be altered. And yes, even with regular HDR10, the HDR logo will still show up, it is merely customized for your display.

The HDR settings on my UB9000 remote come in handy when my NX7 projector displays a dark image in movies. I usually keep it on “Light environment”. to preserve my blacks rather than the “Bright Environment “ setting. Although every movie is different it’s a great feature. Great product.

A really cool feature to have would be to be able to scan and recognize your TV brand/model/and type and auto adjust or make recommendation settings. If not doable, at least let you manually enter in your TV info and it just has to access some database somewhere on the internet and retrieve the recommended settings for your TV. If Logitech Harmony remotes can detect thousands of devices and apply the correct functions from their data somewhere, I'm sure Panasonic could do it too.

[@harryberry474]

Yea Xiong...yeah that would be nice but don't hold your breath. The frequency manufactures put out updates are few and far between. For something like you're suggesting might be a hardware issue too I don't know.

[@thenonexistinghero]

They could easily do it, they're just not willing to put any investment into it. And well, it doesn't seem like they're really making new 4K blu-ray players anymore. Well, they do still make a few... but in terms of price/performance this 4 year old one is still the best.... and also still very pricey. Though not as pricey as most others they make these days which are nothing more than niche gimmicks such as being able to support very specific audio formats and have very specific ports almost no one even uses. 4K blu-ray is already a niche market and they are aiming for a niche of the niche.

I would think that it would be standard for TVs to communicate to players what their peak brightness but apparently not

[@jurgenrittenauer2617]

Hi David! Thanks a lot for sharing. Two questions... 1) A question about the HDR TV type in the settings - OLED is set to 1000 nits / does it make sense to select a different mode like LCD for new OLEDs like my G4? So I'm castrating my G4 by setting OLED in the menu! How do you do that? 2) With HDR plus/10 content, you can set the HDR optimizer while the film is playing. If you have it on and set to standard, should you then switch off Dynamic Tone Mapping in the TV menu? Or in General - paired the player with a Brand new lg oled g4 / i think i dont Need the hdr optimizer or im wrong? Merry Christmas to everyone

[@FieryMurphMan]

I have to point out, and I tested with both my UB9000 and UB820 players, if you change the Deep Color Output from YCbCr from (Auto) to YCbCr (4:4:4), suggested at about 2:13 in the video, you no longer will be able to view Netflix in HDR nor use Panasonic's HDR Optimizer. I was on Auto previously before watching this vid and once I switched settings HDR was no longer available. With some trouble shooting I figured this out. Of course this is Netflix and streaming (not 4K disc quality) so I certainly plan to switch back to 4:4:4 when watching 4k discs as you suggest. Just wanted to point that out (as I like using the HDR optimizer for Netflix and Amazon Prime on these players). Thanks for video!

[@asklipieionvita8736]

When you stop it and after 20 minutes you start it again, does it start from the point of the movie where it stopped? or does it start again from the beginning of the movie? They say that the 820 can't keep memory and it starts from the beginning of the movie!!

Had problems since day one with the hrd optimizer being greyed out in the video settings. Those 3 tabs at the top had set 1, set 2, 4k dvd standard. Panasonic said it couldn't be adjusted so was getting ready to ship it back for refund when it magically moved to tab 1 which is set 1. Now it has an incredible picture. Your video shows it was easy to turn on so argued with Panasonic for an hour before giving up. I had your other settings correct but the picture was horrible until for whatever reason it reset itself. Have it hooked to a Samsung Qled 900a which I just purchased recently. Wish I could help in case this happens again but am clueless after 40 days why its working now. Thank you very much for this video, it helped me to know it wasn't anything I done wrong.

Thanks for the tips. I just bought the UB820 on sale for $399. I've been watching this player for awhile and was looking for the right price to upgrade over my budget player (UBP X-700), which I gave to a relative. I already had almost everything set up correctly, including changing the annoying default secondary audio setting, but I had missed the second 4:4:4 setting (the one in Color Mode). I didn't expect more than one for 4:4:4.

There are some great youtube videos that explain 4:4:4 and other encoding and how they work - also analog vs. digital and how digital has evolved.

[@Handsx]

I just upgraded myself from the sony x-700. The panasonic gets delivered today and I plan on watching a 4k disc right as its set up :D. How have you liked the differences between the sony and panasonic? Are they noticeable to justify the $250 difference in price? This is definitely a purchase I hid from the lady as we just bought an LG G1, which she was said ENOUGH BUYING! But she loves the TV so hopefully she will like the new 4k player as well :).

[@AKSBSU]

@@Handsx The upgrade to the Panasonic was worth it to me for a few reasons. Getting it at $100 off was also nice start. The most obvious reason for this upgrade is probably the Panasonic is more advanced and higher quality technically and supports more features and formats. My OLED also supports most formats, including HDR-10+ and Dolby Vision, which I didn't get with the lower end player. I'm in a situation that I can afford above a budget model. Finally, I knew the relative I gave my old player to would get a lot of enjoyment out of it but is stubborn as a mule and would have never bought one herself. I'm pretty happy with the upgrade, and to significantly improve upon what I have now you'd probably have to go into the thousand to thousands of dollars range, which is beyond what I think is necessary for my purposes.

[@Handsx]

@@AKSBSU The Sony will be going in our bedroom where the old 4k tv will go, so I need another player either way. It'll be interesting to see how well the HDR optimizer does for tone mapping vs the LG G1 tone mapping. Will have to try both. I wish I could take advantage of the audio but I currently only have a 2.0 setup with a stereo amp and kef bookshelf speakers. I use an optical out from the tv so unfortunately I think there will be some transcoding from the 4k player to tv to amp. I wish the Panasonic had a coaxial digital out like the Sony player, but oh well! Not a huge loss.

I keep my Oppo’s audio output on Auto because I don’t want to miss any secondary audio, even though few discs use that these days. However most of them are still flagged to output as PCM whether they have secondary audio or not, and of course you then have to disable that if it has Atmos.

When I altered my settings on my 820 from Resolution "Auto" to "4K" & output from 4:2:0 to 4:4:4 (colour 4:4:4 also), my remote wouldn't allow the HDR Settings (standard etc). It would give a pop up saying - only when HDR is output. It seems the output was an HDR conversion - not HDR. When I reverted to previous settings the HDR setting button on the remote was restored. I have no idea why that happened.

[@DavidSusiloUnscripted]

Hi there. Thanks for watching. Please see the pinned comment. Many newer TVs can’t do 4:4:4 anymore so set that to 4:2:0

[@asangax]

Hi David, I tried your setting but I have adjusted 24p Output to “Off” as this setting defaults output to 24p to match with source content and I find that I get an audio delay when I don’t output at 60p. I also find that with above set, when I adjust the color mode from YCbCr (Auto) to YCbCr (4:4:4) then the player outputs in SDR instead of HDR.

Which TV are you using? Some TV/Receiver/display combo can have that problem. As for SDR problem, just skip the first thing I mentioned in the video and you should be fine.

These settings you showed are very interesting and one question I have are these one time settings? In other words are settings the same for 1080P blu ray movies too or do the settings have to be changed every time you put in a different format 4k to blu ray and back? Do settings have to be adjusted continuously depending on the format. I'd like to have a player I don't continuously have to mess with. Very well done "how to" thanks. I desperately need a reliable player that is well built, my current player is a LG UP970 and it makes so much noise when playing 4K discs I can't wait to throw it in the trash.Honestly I never played too many 4K discs on it until lately so I didn't realize how bad it is (noise wise).

Good vid David. I have an older player , a UB 900 going to a Sony 65" X9000F. I found I could have some freezing/picture break up , which many forums said was due to the player's 4:4:4 12 bit setting ( 4K blu ray is a 10 bit technology ) , still seems to work on Panasonic TV's fine. Anyway, I changed my settings to the 4:2:0 format and these problems disappeared. Still looks great. I was wondering if Panasonic have fixed this with their new players, I notice their setup menu has changed slightly. Thanks.

It is true when the cable and/or the display can’t handle the 4:4:4 signal. If you are using 4:2:0, it means you’re not using the Panasonic Chroma Upsampler technology.

[@jliang70]

4:4:4 12 bit setting with HDR require HDMI 2.0 that support bandwidth of 13,37 Mbps, so the TV needs a HDMI board supporting the maximum bit rate of 18Mbps. Early 4K TV might not support that bandwidth. You can change the colour mode to 4:2:2. 4:2:2 still support HDR.

@johnnieboy66 I have to remove hoapat’s half-truth misinformation. 1. The disc is in 4:2:0 BUT this player’s ability to do chroma upsampling is one of the reasons this player won many awards. Yes the TV will upsample the 4:2:0 to 4:4:4 BUT more often than not, the 4:2:0 to 4:4:4 chroma upsampling is done BEST by the 420/820/9000 2. Using HDMI 2.1 for this player is NOT going to improve anything. The maximum bitrate of this player (and AppleTV 4K) is at 17.8 gbps. Using either an 18gbps cable or 48gbps cable is not going to change the quality at all.
