Got this because I have a huge video collection and as we have to come to realize there are limits to the offerings of any one streaming service, or even as an aggregate collective when it comes to the current trend in movie choices. No matter, all movies, film and TV are geared for that crucial 17-23 year old demographic ( and have always have been) and when you age past that, (as I have), its good to have a machine that will play the films that you liked well enough to buy. Of particular interest to me was the upscaling of 4k, where even DVD's will play and look better onscreen than the day they were pressed. And as any video collector will tell you, there are plenty of favorite films which will never be released/remastered in 4k, or even on Blu-ray, simply because they are not economically/commercially or commercially "responsible". In this manner the DP-UB9000 exceeded expectations, making DVD's look almost as good as Blu-ray and Blu-ray approach 4k films in clarity. 4k is good and with a proper theatre setup is it easily possible to certainly have a better experience at home as you realize that you can get the 4k version of any (recent) film for the price of two adult admission tickets and not have to endure a single cell phone conversation of a stranger or a long line at the $nack bar for basic cinematic sustenance. Sound? I am running 5.1 surround on a dedicated Monster audio optical cables and the unit can accurately recreate the usual cacophonous cries of speeding cars, gunshots and the explosion's of any summer action thriller as well as the faint sleigh bells of any timeless mainstream Christmas classic as you and yours gather around the warmth of the flat screen for some more traditional film fare. Issues? Only one. Stay out of the tertiary menus if you don't know exactly what you are doing or why you have gone there in the first place. I ended up accidentally turning on the "menu assist for visually impaired" and the unit angrily shouted at me in a robotic female tirade reminiscent of the ship's voice on Star Trek as let me know what was on each screen (even as I could clearly read for myself). Adding annoyance to injury was the fact I was rapidly trying to cycle through the various menus to turn off this sour snotty, redundant, observational voice which only made it yell at me more. Infuriating, even if you have a bleak but silly sense of humor which I like to pride myself on. Perhaps it is a sign of aging to admit that One cannot can't program a VCR anymore (or this generations cinematic playing equivalent) but the remote on this player (depicted) has more buttons than most calculators (which isn't uncommon, admittedly). Yet the internal menus are vast, unforgiving and not always intuitive. If you must absolutely must play with every setting on your new "bleeding edge" media devices in order to fully appreciate them be forewarned, "there be dragons". Set it for automatic firmware upgrades and stay out of its menu abyss and it should serve you well. Also it's slightly expensive. Admittedly, at this price point you can get a lesser brand renditioned player from a secondary retailer that will play all regions. But these are small complaints. Its incredible, and I have had it for a year, even though I only use a fraction of its features.

I've waited about 6 months before writing this review to give the player some burn-in time and check its consistency. It's a stunning, essential piece of kit for 4K Home Theatre. We started collecting our own 4K HD DVD's, for a few reasons: Physical Custody/ownership and not beholden to the internet being down or my access to online purchases or locked-out, and streaming 4k HD movies don't sound as good, as they do off a physical DVD- just not enough internet bandwidth to deliver the goods. Now: While the first player we received had numerous read errors right out of the box (motion freeze, pixellation, audio drop outs, etc); this replacement unit is STELLAR. Not. One. Glitch. NONE!! Keep in mind- you need to keep your discs CLEAN, and YES, even clean them when they are new-out-of-the-wrapper.... they can be dirty enough to trigger errors. Get yourself some disc cleaner and some microfiber lenscleaners. You're welcome. This player delivers a beautiful, amazing 4K HD picture and also does an admirable job of standard DVD upscaling. The audio is also SUPERB. This is what I'm talking about!

I'm using this player with my home theater system which is a Yamaha A8A-RX. It's connected via an HDMI cable. I only play DVD's as I have a separate system for two channel audio. I replaced my DVD player which was a bottom of the line Yamaha with this one, and the picture quality is the best I'v ever seen. It was very easy to setup as I am familiar with Yamaha's parameter settings and menu. If you're not, there are many videos and AI instructions to make setup simple. Just make sure you understand what your AV receiver can support, and you'll be ok. One additional note. On my old player, sometimes it would pixelate a lot, and then freeze up because of issues on the DVD. When I play those disks on my new player, it will pixelate slightly but will not freeze up. It seems like the quality of disk construction has gone down, and this player can handle it.

Super happy buying this Ultra 4K DVD Player from Panasonic. It's total quality. No plastic here except maybe in the remote. I have another brand OLED TV and soundbar but I wanted this DVD player. Yes, it's very expensive but you get what you pay for. The only competitor that come close is the Samsung M9500 but Samsung isn't making DVD Players for the U.S. Market. Downloaded and installed the latest firmware. Menus and remote make set up a breeze. Love the remote. The only complaint I have with Panasonic, they made the best machine, made it internet capable and then their apps pages are a big "we could care less about apps". There is no reason I can see why Panasonic couldn't add the XM Radio App, and other entertainment streaming on the page. It's ridiculous. Another bit of advice. Get yourself a 3 year Assurion Extended Warranty through Amazon for peace of my mind. I may never have to use it but for a $900* purchase I want coverage. Best 4K video so far is Ben Hur. I don't think you'll find a better DVD Player anywhere. Flagship.

I’ve had this machine for going on four years plus. While it does great things like the video and audio look and sound wonderful, after about two years, it got into the nasty habit of pixelating and or freezing 4K movies. At first, I thought it was the actual disc, but after cleaning them I thought maybe they were defective and I would return or exchange some of those discs. But after my fourth or fifth one, I decided there must be something wrong with this player because I don’t know if I’ve ever returned a Blu-ray or a DVD over the years for the same reason. It now routinely freezes movies that are either high special effects extravaganzas or a simple movie like Return of the Pink Panther. Each time I put it into the PlayStation 5 and it plays with no problem. I can’t believe I spent quite a bit of money for a “high-end player“ that actually does not work for most 4K’s and now Blu-rays don’t play right in it sometimes. If I had known this, I would not have purchased this and just use the PlayStation 5. Do not buy this unit!!!!!

I've been researching 4K Blu ray players for over a year and the Blu ray market seems to be downsizing and consolidating. As of 4/22, the top Blu ray players are made by Panasonic, Sony, McIntosh and possibly the French made models by Reavon that have very limited availability. 4K Blu ray offers a huge audio/video signal boost over streaming at this time. Most streaming Dolby Atmos audio is really lame because it's so compressed and you need a DAC and a ton of bandwidth to make it sound remotely decent but it's still not as nearly good as a 4K Blu ray disk, especially the audio. It's all about the source. This Panasonic model arrived from World Wide Stereo via Amazon which was the best outcome because I have Amazon as the seller and World Wide Stereo for tech support. Perfect! Setup was incredibly simple. One caveat here is that the setup process can vary greatly based on your current audio gear. I have a McIntosh MX-122 home theater preamp and a brand-new Sony A80J 65 inch 4K TV. The McIntosh preamp and Sony TV "played well" with the Panasonic Blu ray and it just KNEW what to do and the default settings were all spot on. Here are my pro/con in a simple list: Pro: - Top rate build quality - this Panasonic is a tank tipping the scale at 17+ pounds plus great professional reviewer ratings - Simple setup, 1 HDMI cable and the power cord, WIFI was a breeze. - Great audio and video output - top rate. - I can READ the screen! I can't say that about the legacy Sony X100ES (which is no longer made) I replaced with the Panasonic. - Built in DAC improves audio output even more - Streaming capability - built in Netflix. If you don't have Apple TV, this is a bonus - Great adjustability - you can tailor the video output to most any setting and TV. The audio is a solid improvement over my legacy Sony 1100ES that is no longer available - it was only 2 years old and it's gone already! - the CD playback for music is top rate as well. It’s far cleaner and better defined than my 16 year old McIntosh MVP 861. Whether it’s Bluray, CD or DVD, this Panasonic can’t be beat in this price range. Con: - Price - it's a heavy lift at $1000 but the only other units close in quality to this Panasonic are the McIntosh MVP 901 at $6000 and the Reavon 100 and 200 at about $800 and $1700 each. The problem with Reavon is availability - one source, the US distributor right now and who knows about parts down the road. - The Panasonic 90 days labor warranty on this machine is sort of lame for a $1000 unit - The full user manual is a 50-page download and printout on your own - it's even hard to find the download link. I'd put it here but Amazon won't allow that in reviews. - It's REALLY hard to find an extra remote for the Panasonic. I like 2 remotes and scoured Amazon for a second Panasonic OEM remote and it was non-existent. I located one at Dan's Electronics. The Panasonic part number for this Panasonic remote is N2QAYA000175. - Some audiophiles whine that the UB9000 will not play SACD's or audio DVD's. I don't own either format, so it wasn't a deal breaker for me but it may be for others. The Blu ray market right now is in transition. With the loss of OPPO who made GREAT players along with the loss of other players like my Sony 1100ES are part of the market consolidation. Right now, the 4K Blu ray market is either $250 - $500 plastic consumer grade or the $1000+ models. McIntosh makes legendary audio gear and I own their MX-122 home theater preamp, MC-402 2 x 400 watt amp and the McIntosh MC 8207 7 x 200 watt home theater amp. The MC 402 amp is a beast and it's circa 2006 and it's still cranking. The McIntosh MVP-901 Blu ray player is an awesome device that is $5,000 more than this Panasonic and it's up to the consumer to decide if there is $5K in performance advantage for McIntosh over this Panasonic. That's a lot of data but I hope it helps!

I basically have two reviews for this disc player: a 5 star review based on its performance (when working fully), and 1 star review based on my experience with the disc player's reliability. If I could give it 3.5 stars, I would...a half star for Panasonic's willingness to refund me the cost of the labor charges for the repair...but only after I sent a respectful, yet lengthy email to the CEO detailing my experience and disappointment. Let me start off by saying be very wary of purchasing this item, as the warranty is brief, and the quality of parts is shoddy. Be prepared to spend big $$$$$ to get it repaired outside of warranty. I ordered this item in October of 2022. I was more or less quite pleased with it, and felt that while it was remarkably expensive compared to other 4K UHD players, the quality was quite good for audio and visuals on a 77 inch OLED TV with a high end soundsystem. There were no other alternatives at this price point on the market when I was looking, so I decided to give it a try. There is no point in investing in this device if you do not have a high end TV and soundsystem set up to go with it. After about 5 and a half months, the disc tray stopped ejecting discs. Given that this is the most essential function of any disc player, I was really disappointed in the quality of parts. For a top of the line blu ray player, one can fairly expect the basic functions to work. Not the case here. The fact is, manufacturers know how long their products hold up for, and they address the product warranty based on that knowledge. There is a 3 month labor warranty, and 1 year parts warranty. That's laughable for a product of this price. But it goes to show the quality you'll get for the price. Fortunately, I was within the parts warranty. I had to ship the blu ray player back to Panasonic at a cost of $95 dollars with the proper insurance through UPS. They did turn it around quickly, in about a week after they received it. And boy am I glad I was within the parts warranty...because the cost of the two parts that needed replacing? $407 for a new "BD Drive" and a new "PC Board, Digital." The cost for labor to repair this was $90. Plus the shipping, it cost me $185 to repair this after less than 6 months of use. I can't in good conscience recommend this disc player given the experience, and the brief warranty. When working, it does a good job. But is it reliable? No. And is it worth the price? Definitely not. There is a reason Panasonic was once a major player in the North American electronics market, but no longer. Stay away if you value quality, reliability, and value. I've amended my review to include the fact that Panasonic did eventually get in touch with me to make things right, but it did require writing to the CEO. Not every customer will have the letter writing ability, or the wherewithal to procure the email address of a corporation's chief executive. Nor should you have to for a product of this price. Unfortunately, physical media is a dying breed. We've just seen netflix cancel their disc delivery service. Most major electronics manufacturers have turned away from making disc players. If you want the best A/V quality as a collector, your options are now limited. A used OPPO will sell for more than this Panasonic brand new. It's just the nature of the market now. And unfortunately, because there's no competition, manufacturers have little incentive to put out a quality product. One upside is that Panasonic did turn around the repair quickly. In about 3 weeks. A few other things. If you really want technical details of the audio video performance, I recommend the reviews published by actual experts. A quick Google for reviews of this device will bring up a few write ups from people who know what they are talking about. As for streaming, I find the quality of this device to be top notch, above even my Apple TV 4K (2022), although that one is close. The bass is just richer and bolder from the Panasonic. The sound sounds more genuine and true to life. But there are only 3 streaming apps available--netflix, youtube, amazon prime. The interface for the apps is also woefully dated, and while the A/V quality is outstanding, navigating the apps is slow and clunky and feels like a decade's step back in time. A lot of people won't ever use the streaming options on this device, and won't care.

You're probably here looking at the Panasonic UB9000 and reading the reviews for one of two reasons: 1) you're in the market for a 4K player and curious to know why this one is so expensive and/or 2) you've heard that the UB9000 is the best 4K player money can buy and want to know if it's worth it. Of course, there may be other reasons you're curious about it, but after half a year of living with this player I'm finally ready to review it and give you my unbiased and truthful opinion. Hopefully this information will help you decide if the Panasonic UB9000 is worth your time and financial investment. Before I get into my thoughts on this player, it might be helpful to know (for context) the equipment I'm using with it and how I have it set up. All of my peripherals (including the UB9000) are connected to an 11.1ch Denon x3700h receiver. The receiver is the only thing connected directly to my TV (a 77" LG G2 OLED) via HDMI ARC. All of the HDMI cables I use are high speed 48Gbps CERTIFIED. Zeskit is a reasonably priced brand and their cables are available on Amazon. You don't need to spend a fortune on HDMI cables, but if you connect a premium piece of equipment like this using cheap HDMI cables, you will not be getting reference quality audio and video which defeats the point. Get any cable you want as long as its at least 48Gbps certified. And yes, it MUST say "certified". Also, all of my equipment (the Panasonic UB9000, Denon x3700h, LG G2 77") are compatible with 4K HDR including Dolby Vision (keep this in mind if you're using a Samsung TV as Samsung displays are not Dolby Vision compatible). I also watch content in Filmmaker Mode without any artificial image enhancements or motion smoothing. Lastly, all of my audio equipment (including speakers) is compatible with premium audio formats like DTS:X and Dolby Atmos. I mention all of this because if you decide to purchase the Panasonic UB9000, you need to make sure that the equipment you're pairing it with is compatible with the type of content you want to watch or listen to. So, for example, if you put in a 4K disc that has Dolby Vision, but your TV isn't Dolby Vision licensed, then you're not going to get Dolby Vision even though the UB9000 can render it. You'll still be able to watch the movies, but in HDR10 only. Likewise, if a 4K disc has Dolby Atmos audio, you're not going to hear it without Dolby Atmos speakers. So who should consider purchasing the UB9000? IF you are a home theater enthusiast, or setting up a home theater for the first time, and you need a reference quality 4K player that will best showcase a high-end audio/visual setup, then the UB9000 is worth considering. Especially since there doesn't appear to be an equivalent alternative on the market since OPPO. IF you are a casual movie watcher with a 4K TV but don't have a home theater setup and don't have plans for one, then I think getting a high-end reference quality flagship player like this would be a waste of money. And that is because you'd be paying for so many bells and whistles that you don't need and would have no use for. There are other perfectly good 4K players on the market (including by Panasonic) that don't cost 4-figures and would be a better fit for the average consumer. Don't pay more for what you don't need. So what are the benefits you'll be getting with the Panasonic UB9000? For starters, it can process all of the common HDR formats: HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision. One truly exceptional feature is its dynamic tone mapping ability. If you are watching a 4K movie that only has HDR10 static metadata this player has a dynamic tone mapping feature that will significantly improve the picture quality. Many higher end TVs also have dynamic tone mapping, but I find that the Panasonic UB9000 does a much better job at it. The UB9000's dynamic tone mapping ability WILL make a huge improvement on any 4K HDR television regardless of brand. That is because most (if not all) 4K discs have a base layer of HDR10 metadata. Dolby Vision content is still limited, and HDR10+ content is almost non-existent. This means that almost everyone will see an improvement in HDR quality with this player as long as you've turned on tone mapping (from the remote or settings menu). Especially on televisions that are not Dolby Vision capable. Side Note: Dynamic tone mapping cannot be used or enabled if the film is already dynamic (Dolby Vision or HDR10+). Another amazing feature that this player has is the ability to tell it what type of display you're using with it such as an LED TV, OLED, projector, etc. You'll find this option in the settings menu. The benefit here is that it will then optimize the picture based on your display type. It is especially useful for OLED displays which sometimes struggle to reach the level of nits required to accurately portray the brightness associated with HDR content. This player is likely the best choice for OLED and projectors. It's also capable of decoding premium audio formats such as DTS:X and Dolby Atmos. It can also decode IMAX enhanced audio, though this audio format is less commonly found on physical media. This player is also capable of playing back 3D discs if that's something you care about. I only have two complaints about this player, though neither would prevent me from repurchasing it since there's really no better equivalent on the market. And with physical media becoming more and more redundant (unfortunately) as streaming increases in popularity, I don't know if there ever will be. The first issue I have is with the image quality of DVDs and standard blu-ray discs. By no means is it terrible, but believe it or not I find that my secondary blu-ray player, a $50 LG player, reproduces a noticeably better image. For that reason I typically only use the Panasonic UB9000 to play 4K UHD discs and/or discs that contain premium audio like DTS:X and Atmos. The second complaint I have is one I don't see as being a common issue and could just be me. And that is that I find this player to oftentimes glitch and freeze during playback. This happens regardless of whether it's a 4K disc or standard blu-ray. I don't know what causes this to happen, but it's not because the discs are damaged because they are often brand new discs or they play fine when testing them in my secondary blu-ray player. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the lens reader is just super sensitive. So whenever it glitches, I just clean it with one of those blu-ray lens cleaning discs and that seems to resolve the issue (albeit temporarily). I have to do this about once a week, but it works. Other than that I've had no serious issues with it. Hopefully this information will help you decide if this is the right player for you.
