Panasonic DP-UB420 user manual

The Panasonic DP-UB420 and DP-UB820 are both 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray players, but there are a few key differences between the two models.
1. Dolby Vision: The DP-UB820 supports Dolby Vision HDR, which delivers more vivid and lifelike colors compared to standard HDR10. The DP-UB420 does not have Dolby Vision support.
2. Audio Support: The DP-UB820 has advanced audio features, including high-resolution audio playback, a dual HDMI output for separating audio and video signals, and support for premium audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The DP-UB420 does not have dual HDMI outputs and does not support advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos.
3. Design: The DP-UB420 has a more compact and slim design compared to the larger and bulkier DP-UB820.
4. Price: The DP-UB420 is usually priced lower than the DP-UB820, since it lacks some of the advanced features of the higher-end model.
In summary, the DP-UB820 offers more advanced audio features, Dolby Vision support, and better connectivity options compared to the DP-UB420. However, if you are primarily interested in a basic 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player without these additional features, the DP-UB420 may be a more affordable and suitable option.

The Panasonic DP-UB420 is not region free by default. However, it is possible to make it region free by using a special remote control or by applying custom firmware, but this may void the manufacturer's warranty and could potentially cause damage to the player. It is recommended to consult with a professional or authorized service center if you are interested in making your DP-UB420 region free.
