Enjoy brilliant color and sound with this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The chroma processing technology maximizes the color of 4K/HDR content, and the 7.1-channel audio output produces lifelike surround sound when connected to a home audio system. The color signals received by this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player are upgraded to produce natural textures and depth.

Good player but Not an OPPO
on December 9, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
First of all this is my third Panasonic Blu-ray player.
I own the DMP-UB900 and the DMP-BDT500
The 820 is a good player but it could be better to be at the same level as OPPO level
Pros:
+ Easy set up
+ Great picture quality
+ Supports Dolby Vision
+ Great HDR support for projectors
+ 2nd HDMI port for audio only so you can connect it to a receiver that doesn't support 4K
+
Cons:
- Poor remote, too small, no back lighting
- No SACD support so no real universal player
- No THX the 900 had THX
- Poor build quality especially for the price and compared to OPPO 203
- Even Sony has better build quality!

As I look to the reviews, I see too many 5's ( as of 9/4/18)... I see one 4 rating. It seems the '5s are written from product managers and not the "Avg. Joe". Now why do I mention this? European ratings are 3's and 4's. Whats up? Who wants to buy a 3?

I don’t work for LG!
I have a JVC RS600 projector and with this player I can finaly watch 4K Blu Ray HDR movies! I also have an OPPO 205 but the HDR tone mapping on the Panasonic rocks!

I wished it could play SACD :(

That’s why I gave it a 4.

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?

It switches automatically! No need to do anything just choose Dolby Vision on in the settings

Will it play FLAC and/or ALAC files using the rear USB port?

Yes, here is the manual for the player
