Product Manuals

Q: How many HDMI outputs does this Blu-ray player have?

A: This model has 2 HDMI outputs.

Q: Can I play standard DVDs on this player?

A: Yes, you can play standard DVDs and the player will upscale them to near 4K resolution.

Q: Does this player support 3D content?

A: Yes, when paired with a 3D HDTV you can enjoy 3D content.

Q: What is the maximum video resolution of this Blu-ray player?

A: The maximum video resolution is 2160p.

Q: Does this Blu-ray player have built-in Wi-Fi?

A: Yes, this model has built-in Wi-Fi for streaming content and firmware updates.

Q: Does the unit play 4k mkv files or any mkv files at all off a USB drive?

A: Yes, the UB820 will play 4K HDR MKVs from an external hard drive (It has to be plugged into the rear USB input) but it will not play any of the lossless audio tracks. These include DolbyTrue HD, DTSMA-HD and Dolby Atmos. It will play lossy audio tracks (Dolby Digital 5.1/7.1 or DTS 5.1/7.1). The UB820 will also not recognize chapter marks in any MKV files. Despite these "shortcomings", as a pure disc player, the 820 now stands at the top of the mountain. I have a still brilliant Oppo-203 and from a pure video standpoint, the 820 now edges it out.

Q: Does this player switch automatically to Dolby Vision when a movie contains that format? Or do you have manually switch to that like the Sony 700?

A: Yes. It will auto play a DV encoded disc in DV but only if you have DV turned ON in the player settings. If DV is set to OFF, it will play the disc in HDR.

    I am not a Technical Expert. My set up Sony 65A80CJ Onkyo RZ-50 plus Klipch Dolby Atmos Speakers 5.1.2 Panasonic UB820-K Xbox Series X HDMI 2.1 Cables Using the dedicated dual HDMI outputs of the 4k player. 1 for the video straight to the tv and 1 straight to the Onkyo RZ-50 for audio. 4k disc picture looks Amazing. Movies Played or have Queued to watch so far SEE photo Below. I do have a XBOX Series X But I really do think the picture is much better on a dedicated 4k player, plus the Xbox does not play movies in Dolby Vision. Value rating is subjective. My 3 star Is someone else 4 or 5 If you have a Higher end 4k tv with IMAX enchaned and Dolby Vision and like watching 4k movies on Physical Media at their best, This player is Recommended. If your tv I was a little hesitant in the purchase 500.00 is alot when you already have a 4k Player XBOX. I am not disappointed.

    Incredible player

    The many configuration options and upscaling ability of this player are amazing. HDR modes really make the picture pop. My only cons are 1. that the remote is a little clunky, but can easily be gotten used to, and 2. I wish the unit was a bit cheaper. If you can afford it, the UB820 is a very good machine and well worth it!

    One of the Best 4K Players You Can Buy

    This is the best 4K UHD Blu-ray player I’ve ever owned. It is far better than any Sony I’ve owned. The picture is outstanding as well as the sound quality. I only had one issue and it involved disc startup. My lens was apparently dirty out of the box, so I purchased a Best Buy laser cleaning disc and it solved the problem. Excellent product!
