Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best Blu-ray player I have owned. I have not used Panasonic for the last 7 or 8 years because of a bad experience. I am over it now and am well pleased with my new player. The Dolby Atmos is amazing and the picture is superior to the LG and Samsung players I own and every bit as good as a more expensive Sony I have. I am using it with a projector which makes the HDR 10+ capability important. It does not support Dolby Vision, but neither does my projector so I feel like I’ve found the perfect player for me.

I purchased this open box at a decent price. The item arrived in like new condition with all manuals and accessories. I had some help from the Geek Squad team which delivered other items (TV, entertainment center) to do the initial connections to my Home Theater and configuration of the player. Pros: I was able to connect the player to my older (2016-2017) Yamaha receiver using a "pass through" method and using 4K HDMI cables, I am able to play 4K videos through the player and get excellent results. The startup is very fast, not a lot of waiting for the player to load up...similarly when loading a disc, it reads them fairly quickly. 4K content visuals is stunning. Surround Sound is terrific, although I did need to up the volume a tad on my Subwoofer. Cons: The eco/power management "features" are quite frustrating. At first, a 10 minute trip to the fridge to get a drink and a snack resulted in a paused movie shutting down completely by the player. Contacted my Total Tech agent at Best Buy who offered some setting adjustment ideas which I was able to finally locate in the convoluted menu. Now it appears I am up to about 20 minutes (e.g. take the dog out then get a drink and a snack) before it shuts everything down. By the way, there is no resume feature that I could find. So to get back to the movie, one has to go through the scenes and locate where you were. Streaming stability (especially with 4K content) isn't nearly as good as with my Samsung SmartTV so I don't expect to do much streaming with it. I had an incident where the player refused to read multiple discs. Had to shut it off, pull the plug from the wall, then plug back in. Once it powered back up it read those same discs and played them fine. Final thoughts: When it works, the results are quite pleasing (stunning with 4K content). I'm hoping that the issues will iron themselves out, but my sample of one player has been frustrating. Playing 4K/HD Blu Rays and DVDs, the playback is terrific as long as you don't pause it for any duration. Bottom line, I cannot recommend this player.

I had a Sony X700 for awhile and had to switch because I constantly got perfect discs that would freeze up- which is apparently an issue with 4K in general but especially with Sony. Thus far- aside from 1 disc which had a tiny mark on it (again that's a 4K sensitivity issue not necessarily an issue with the player) I've had zero issues and am completely satisfied. The only ONLY annoyance is that there is no subtitle button on the remote, but if you have any technology sense or are a film geek, you just bring up the pop up menu. Overall very pleased!

What a gem. Easy to install, great performance for it's price.

Easy to use snd set up out of the box. Perfect entry level 4K player. it is not preloaded with many apps but you can choose from several popular apps. No Dolby Vision but easy controls to set HDR levels.

Streaming works with Netflix/Prime which are readily accessible. Only added Sling TV, which connects deliberately - an issue with the service. Best part is the picture quality. Last player, a Sony, was great for viewing too and lasted over 5 years. But, new tech always provides improvements. There are likely better expensive players, but this one was purchased on sale at the time and was somewhat highly regarded in a number of tech reviews. I believe quality is an individual choice so I respond "no" to the binary choice of recommendations to friends

The product is excellent and solid, I didn't get a lot of time with it because of one thing. I have a Samsung 75in QLED TV and Samsung Soundbar, at the time I couldn't find fairly inexpensive Samsung 4k player so I bought this Panasonic in the hopes that I would like it. In my opinion, it didn't play well with my QLED TV (it didn't do what I wanted it to do, it wasn't a Samsung), so I continued to search for an affordable Samsung 4k player. I eventually found and purchased one and I returned this Panasonic after 3 weeks. By no means was there anything wrong with this Panasonic, I just prefer to have same manufacturer compatible products if at all possible.

Beautiful picture and works great, it does everything that I want it to do.

The Panosonic device suited the need perfectly, was reasonably priced and fit the space.

Its a well built 4k unit that produces very bright colored picture. Its easy to set up and operate and it has a sturdy remote that is well laid out. Its a excellent 4k player for the money.

This is a great product with no issues after one month of use and very easy setup.

I got this primarily to play 3D movies. The player was relatively simple to connect to my current TV and stereo system. I have not tried all the functions of the player yet but what I have used works correctly. The user manual does need to be downloaded. The instructions were not the most user friendly, but I was able to find what I needed to make the 3D movies work.

Beautiful picture from this DVD player. Easy to set up and use. Would purchase again.

I snagged a like new open box and its perfect. Easy update to the latest firmware, fast to load 4k discs, no stutters while playing. HDR10+ looks incredible on my QD-OLED! Also works flawlessly with eArc and being controlled by the Samsung TV remote I have is nice. It is a bit narrower than typical 17" equipment.

Its easy to use, and connects easily with my TV. I like that you can change the voice and screen formats. There's a slight learning curve with all the adjustments but its easily learnable. Only downside is that I get an electric shock every time I touch the box when I take out a bluray disc. Make sure to just touch the bluray itself.

Found this as an open-box item and boy was I happy!! Very easy to use. Set up and connection was very easy. Remote is also decent sized and easy to use. No complaints at all.

The blue ray 4K dvd player weekend great and is easy to use

The setup was flawless. The interface is detailed but user friendly. It is a very solid piece of equipment. I love it.

Panasonic makes great products! I have to say that I’ve never been disappointed with any Panasonic product I’ve ever bought. This is no exception... Easy to use, great quality, very fair price.

The device works as intended. The only flaw is the poorly designed remote control. Other than that the picture quality is great and so is the sound output.
