”Panasonic’s 4K player is once again the best option.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 Product of the Year.
HCX - Hollywood Cinema Experience
At the heart of this player is Panasonic’s unique HCX (Hollywood Cinema Experience) processor. Years of picture expertise and collaboration with Hollywood studios go into making this processor something very special. For vibrant colour and ‘being there’ realism, little can get close to this processor’s power.
4K High-Precision Chroma Processor for stunning colour
Also developed from technology derived from Panasonic's Hollywood Laboratory, the DP-UB820's 4K High-Precision Chroma Processor gets closer to the natural image than ever. 4K image colour signals (4:2:0) are interpolated into 4K (4:4:4) by a multi-tap chroma process. The result is stunning depth, texture and the greatest realism you're ever likely to see on the small screen.
Multi HDR Support – including HDR10+
Taking HDR technology to new highs, HDR10+ offers scene-by-scene HDR mastering for the truest, most accurate HDR picture technology to date. With HDR10+ each scene is optimised, meaning that the maximum amount of detail is shown – even in the brightest or darkest moments. This Panasonic UHD Blu-ray also supports standard HDR10 and HLG formats. HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma HDR) is a broadcast and user generated standard format that is set to become the standard for transmitting 4K signals.
Dolby Vision for dramatic imaging
As well as supporting HDR10+, the DPUB820 is also compatible (via software update) with Dolby Vision. This Panasonic decodes signals that have specifically been encoded in Dolby Vision - a leading format in Hollywood and cinemas. Dolby Vision also adjusts the picture to take full advantage of each display's characteristics and presents an optimized picture for each scene in specially mastered content.
HDR Optimiser
Going further than HDR, this Panasonic UHD Blu-ray player uses image processing with tone mapping to enhance brightness levels. The system even works with standard HDR10 and TV images that don’t support HDR10+ or Dolby Vision.
Hi-Res audio for a boost to your music
As well as being a cinematic star with your movies, the DP-UB820 also works wonders with your music. Simply connect to your audio system and you’ll be able to enjoy Hi-Res music via streaming or USB. Compatible with a wide range of formats, including AIFF (up to 32 bit/384kHz 2 channel), WAV (up to 32 bit/384kHz), FLAC (up to 24 bit/192kHz) and DSD (up to 11.2MHz in 2 channel), the Panasonic DP-UB820 is a supremely flexible music player.
Fully connected, including twin HDMI outputs
With twin HDMI sockets you get excellent connectivity. The second HDMI lets you run an audio source in another room. Another bonus with this Panasonic is the analogue 7.1 RCA output. This lets you connect to older but high-end AV receivers that may not have an HDMI interface. Other great connections include twin USB sockets (front and rear) – ideal for connecting your USB media devices and watching digital content.
4K streaming
Although UHD Blu-ray disc has the performance advantage, 4K streaming gives you a huge range of extra content, including award-winning TV drama. Compatible with the top streaming services from the likes of Netflix and Amazon, you’ll never be short of entertainment – and all in top quality 4K.
Smart services including apps and web browser
As a smart player, the Panasonic DP-UB820 is equipped with a full web browser and apps. Access your favourite catch-up TV services via their app or simply use the web browser to find specific websites.
Streaming and Miracast mirroring
DLNA compatibility ensures that you can link up with other sources on your network, for smooth streaming of content from PCs, laptops, NAS drives and other networked devices. Miracast allows you to stream whatever video is playing on your smartphone, tablet or PC to the TV, via the UHD Blu-ray player, wirelessly (Miracast requires a Wi-Fi network and Miracast certified smartphone. Smartphone firmware update may be required). For easy connection, Wi-Fi is also standard.
Maximise the full potential of your TV, with the Panasonic DPUB820 – movies have never looked so good at home.

Banging Blu-ray player
I bought the Panasonic award-winning Blu-ray DVD player I’ve been watching it for about two weeks now since it’s my first Blu-ray player. I haven’t got any Blu-ray yet so I’ve been playing my Old normal DVDs on my old DVD player most of my discs wouldn’t play because they were a bit scratched but on my new Blu-ray player they all play and the picture was amazing so Not only can they play old DVDs that are scratched. They also upgrade them and the picture and sound is brilliant. I couldn’t recommend this DVD player anymore. If you buy it you will be overwhelmed And if you go to the store itself and purchase it, all the staff members are knowledgeable, very friendly

Great picture and has automatic Dolby Vision
I bought this player as I was getting fed up with the Sony player, having to manually select Dolby Vision, and frequent lock-ups!
This player automatically selects Dolby Vision when appropriate, works quicker and has a far clearer picture. I’m very happy with it.

UB-820
After using the player now for a months it’s made me re-watch my entire 4K film collection as the difference is staggering compared with my previous Samsung player. Dolby vision is superb.

Ub820 works, Sony m800m2 doesn't
I bought this panasonic ub820 to replace the Sony m800m2 that was freezing on triple layer discs .
The panasonic works flawlessly, no issues with any discs and non of this nonsense selecting dolby vision or hdr as its automatic.
Worth paying the extra as the Sony was ruining movie nights.
An easy win for the panasonic.

Pleased with the performance so far.
Richer sounds staff excellent as usual. Still working through the settings to get the best balance of picture and sound. Excellent picture quality so far with 4k are standard Blu-ray discs. The smart features are poor and nothing available for download to improve them. The remote should have a back light especially as it has so many buttons.

Best 4k player by far in my opinion.
Got this player from the Southampton branch of Richersounds just over a week ago..
I'm blown away with the picture and sound quality..packed full of features..Will play just about anything..even upscale so my old DVD collection now looks like a brand new uhd disc..
Easy to set up and use..looks like a more premium player but definitely plays everything in a premium manner..you will honestly not be disappointed if you buy one...get to your local Richersounds and treat yourself🙂
