This thing is a tank. Easily twice the size and 3 times the weight of the sony player I am replacing. My first test I watched Waterworld. Picture was so clear it seemed like I could dip my hand into the water. I have surround sound speakers, but at the time I had only my soundbar on and I had to turn it down from where I usually keep it because the sound was so much louder, but still very clear.

Great machine. Use Gemini for the best way to set up and you will be fine

Item is glitchy; there are both 4K and blu-ray discs that freeze. I reached out to Panasonic since this machine is still under warranty. I was told I had to pay out of pocket to send the player back to them. To begin with, a $1,000 plus machine should not be glitchy. Second, for a $1,000 plus machine, I should not be made to pay anything to send it back for fixing. Panasonic just lost a customer. I do not recommend this machine at all.

At one time I had considered an OPPO unit until they exited the Blu-Ray player business and took Cambridge Audio with them. I read reviews of this unit and was impressed by the positive reviews.. Unfortunately the unit was not available in the US market at that time. Once I learned that it was becoming available in the market I purchased one. It is a quality built unit and performs well. I have yet to learn how to utilize all of it's capabilities, but I will have fun trying. It's an expensive unit but I think it is worth the price.

This is my 3rd Panasonic 4K player...even though for some reason after 3 years of ownership the player goes out. (Glad I had the 4 year extended warranty) But I keep getting the same one each time. I love what I can do with the various sound enhancements on this player which goes well with my Vizio soundbar system. The sounds are awesome.

I waited nearly 18 months for this player to make it to the US. Not at all disappointed. I am fussy about image and sound quality as you may assume by my willingness to pay $1000 for this component. If it hadn’t done it’s job the way I envisioned, Best Buy would have it back on their shelves now. BTW, I marked ease-of-use at a “5” in the question below. But, that is because it is essentially a plug and play for a higher end system. For me to take advantage of all of its capabilities I will have to learn and be more sophisticated about using the many possible adjustments this unit offers. Great stuff!

Excellent 4K player superb sound and HDR video! Solidly built, reference player. I would highly recommend it for any high-end home theater application.

Truly a great Blu-ray player! I own other high end electronics but this is one of the newest things I recently bought. It much more heftier than my oppo and the pics lol more detailed than the oppo ( sadly they stopped manufacturing) . The only dislikes that I have are: you can’t zoom to fit the screen without losing some of the pic unlike the oppo, the atmos sound experience does not play upon the introduction of movies so it doesn’t feel like you’re in a theater, and you can’t turn the unit off via tv . Nevertheless, it’s a solid piece of equipment

Great picture and sound when it was working. Bought this about a month ago, lost sound on Netflix after using it for 5 days. Next day lost sound on all apps except DVD, and the only way to restore full functionality both times was to unplug it. I ended up returning it the next day and trading it for a different brand that offered the same set up options (separate HDMI for video and audio). I used to own Samsung 4K DVD players and loved their home screens. The homescreen for the UB9000 seemed like something from the 80's, and the fact that it defaults to DVD playback when you turn it on with a disk in the drive was annoying. To watch Prime or YouTube is a 3 step process onless the drive is empty. Also the fact that there was no info displayed when pausing a movie about how much is left without pushing another button on the remote was rather disappointing. I did a lot of research before purchasing this DVD player and was set aback about the antique homescreen and basic operation. If any review would have mentioned that, I still would have bought it with different expectations and probably would have exchanged it for the same model after it started acting up instead of returning it. And if it was a few hundred dollars less I would recomend it, but the DVD player I replaced it with was less than half the price, sounds and looks just as good and has been working flawless for three weeks as of now.

I love my Panasonic 4K the picture quality and sound comes across beautifully. Easy to setup and synchronize with my television.

I was kinda skeptical about the price of this player and the level of performance it would give but I'm super happy that I pulled the trigger and made the purchase. This got to be one of the best 4K players in the world. I'm very happy for not just the video enhancements it gives but also for the audio experience it provides. This player is definitely on another level in comparison to other brands. You will not go wrong investing in this high end component. Highly Recommend 10/10!!

Absolutely silent i had been using my xbox series x to play my 4k movies and it was like a jet engine had to crank up the volume so loud just to drawn it out, this panasonic ub9000 is dead silent the picture seems to be crisper maybe a little more pop to the color! Love it tad bit expensive but worth it.

Absolutely love this 4k player, night and day difference from lower end models. Money well spent!

I have had my Oppo 203 for a long time but since that product is no longer supported the newer 4k discs that have come out the playback is not smooth anymore. Usually just has a hiccup sometimes in the middle of the movie. This player has solved this for me and is an incredible player. Only thing i would add is a original resolution playback and an option to turn off auto playback when the disc when its inserted. Other than that its a incredible player.

I've been looking for a while for a well-built solid 4K blu-ray player with all the features I wanted. Solid construction. Lighted, solid and well-layouted remote. Dolby Vision HDR. THX and Dolby Atmos audio. High-end design and build. Ability to enhance HDR functions to your TV type.

An awesone player. I recommend this to anyone who is a movie buff, worth the money. Can't wait to see both Avatars on this player.

Best 4k Player available…great build quality. Highly recommended…Pricey but worth it!

If you have a flagship TV from any manufacturer like Sony, Samsung, and LG just to name a few you need this player. It pulls out all the details and audio that you dont get when you buy a cheap blue ray player. I’m a big movie watcher and I notice the big differences when using this player. Would super recommend and i would say you pay for what you get and this is worth the money.

This player is simply the best one yet. I got this player to replace my Oppo 203. My expectations was that it would be the same as the Oppo but its much better than I expected. Job well done Panasonic

This panasonic dvd player goes perfect with my new lg oled tv the hd,4k is super great both are number 1 rated for the year 2024 and works great together, i can't wait to get the sound bar, sub woofer to go with it.
