I would be lost setting up my UB820 if I did not have your excellent tutorial. Thanks very much.

I'm glad I could help! Thanks for watching.

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

I have the UB420 and I love that joint. 😊

[@b-icemedia]

It’s definitely a great player! I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

I purchased panasonic ub820 about year ago this player has been flawless picture is awesome I did buy remote that comes with 900 unit it works perfectly

[@b-icemedia]

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I think that's the best way to go as the remote upgrade really makes a difference and saves quite a bit of money.

thanx for the advices, now i know where to go....

He doesn't understand HDR10+ is a HDR format and shouldn't be on if you prefer Dolby Vision. If his TV does not support HDR10+ it won't make any difference whatsoever leaving it on. It will not make colours brighter like he said. I think he should do his research.

[@jnvivian]

Firmware version 1.82 was published earlier this week for the UB9000 and UB820. It allows users to explicitly select between what it calls type 1 and type 2 Dolby Vision modes if the player determines that the display device supports both types. Type 1 is also known as standard Dolby Vision or TV-led Dolby Vision where the display device performs tone mapping. Type 2 is also known as low latency Dolby Vision or player-led Dolby Vision where the player performs tone mapping. A player that runs firmware version 1.82 picks type 2 by default if connected to a high luminance device like an LG G3, LG G4, Sony A95L, or Sony Bravia 9 like in the bad firmware version 1.76, but then allows the user to override this choice if the player knows that the display device accepts both types. This video could use an update to incorporate this new setting. One trick that some AVS Forum users have found is that users might need to disable and then reenable Dolby Vision in order to view this menu. Another thing that forum users are saying is that the menu might not show up for their TVs because the TV either can’t get bright enough for the player to automatically switch to low latency Dolby Vision in order to suppress bright subtitles or is unable to support one of the modes (e.g. early LG TVs being unable to accept low latency Dolby Vision, or early Sony TVs with Dolby Vision being unable to accept standard Dolby Vision through HDMI because the HDMI ports bypass the TV’s tone mapping hardware so they require low latency Dolby Vision through HDMI and can only do standard Dolby Vision through apps running directly on the TV). Standard Dolby Vision usually is better than low latency Dolby Vision for Blu-ray disc playback if both options are available. Another issue is that some Dolby Vision TVs (mainly non-LG TVs) have broken Dolby Vision implementations, so disabling Dolby Vision to force HDR10 can sometimes improve video quality on those TVs.

[@b-icemedia]

Thanks for the information! I know there's been an update for my player, but I haven't done it to ensure I don't lose the ability to bypass the region lock.

[@keithevans7996]

Trying to link up my panasonic 820 with my 4k optoma projector and have been having trouble getting a decent picture on my 100 inch screen so hopefully this info will help me. Will report back if I get success!!!

[@b-icemedia]

I hope it works out for you! The UB9000 has an extra setting specifically for projector luminance, but you should still be able to get a sold picture with the UB820 nonetheless.

[@robertguy5063]

I'm buying one this week. Do the setting change if you are connect from blu-ray to a Denon AVR to your 4K tv. Thanks for the info.

[@b-icemedia]

No, they're saved to the player's memory. If HDMI passthrough looks different, then you can adjust accordingly. Thanks for watching!

[@HPMIKE55]

Great job am I question is the three which one you recommend just for movies?

[@b-icemedia]

All three are basically geared only for movies, so that's a tough question. If you have the funds, I'd say the UB9000, but the UB820 is almost just as good and half of the cost.

[@stuartgeorge2324]

👍🏻🎥💿 i have the ub820 👍🏻

[@b-icemedia]

That’s the best Panasonic out of the bunch for the price!

[@AversaMusic]

Hope you can help... I just picked up a pre owned UB9000 and hooked it up to my 4k Sony TV. I used the HDMI Video/Audio OUT. I am getting picture, BUT NO AUDIO. What am I doing wrong?? I've tried the HDMI Auto settings, and then the Video/Audio Settings, and still NO AUDIO. Any suggestions?

[@b-icemedia]

I would try switching cables first and see if that fixes the issue for you! If not, you can try the double HDMI (one for video/one for audio) and see if that works for you. Also, you can test different ports on your TV. If that doesn't work, then you may have a lemon on your hands.

[@tiborhorvath1702]

Do you know how to sync the ub820 remote to a Sony tv? Is their a code?

[@b-icemedia]

You may try the different remote codes in the settings and see if that does the trick! I’ve only had good luck with that if the player is the same brand as the TV.

[@Justin-fy7xk]

How do you get the metadata showing what nits the disc was recorded at and the nit conversion to the display. thanks

[@b-icemedia]

You need to press the Playback Info button twice, and then it should appear on-screen.

[@Justin-fy7xk]

@@b-icemedia thanks

[@sheilamuleadygirardi]

Ub420 will not play older wide-screen dvds without putting bkack bars around it and shrinking the picture. What can I do to fix this issue?

[@b-icemedia]

You can always change the aspect ratio through the settings or through your TV. It's just a basic zoom setting.

[@willisjr12169]

I had the Panasonic ub820 it stop reading my discs after 3-4 years and I am very disappointed with this player. Now I have the Panasonic ub420 and it works flawlessly!!

[@b-icemedia]

I'm glad the UB420 is working out for you! Thanks for watching.

[@andreassouth1523]

Hello. I purchased a UB9000 five months ago. After two months, it began to make noise when playing Blu-rays during the first 5-15 minutes of the film, then the noise stops. With 4K Blu-rays, the noise is louder and persists beyond the beginning of the film! Have you experienced similar issues?

[@b-icemedia]

Hmm, that seems odd. Is it enclosed with minimal breathing room? Or a high dust area? It sounds like it's overheating a bit.

[@Revolver1981]

You're very foolish paying all that money and then having something go wrong with it like that.

@@andreassouth1523 If it's still under warranty, you might want to switch it out or speak with Panasonic to get it swapped out.

[@erichouston1268]

I bought the Panasonic ub820. I'm gonna be in the minority and say it's no better than my PS5. Sure it looks good but it looks the same. I think it's a gimmick. I wanted to buy it and see for myself.

[@b-icemedia]

I think it depends on the content, your setup, and if you're utilizing the HDR Optimizer. PS5 is basic playback with no Dolby Vision support, which is a no go for me, but I understand your viewpoint!

[@erichouston1268]

@@b-icemedia I'm using a A80L with a Dolby Atmos setup. I even used a couple different movies from 4k to blu ray and not a difference. I have a great setup and I can't even see the point. I'm glad that you're enjoying your experience 👍👍
