DP-UB150-K 4K UHD Blu Ray Disc Player

Purchased this 4K UHD player to replace my older Sony Blu Ray player which was in my bedroom which broke a few days ago. A disc got stuck in the player and it would not eject from the player no matter what I tried. Anyway, it was time for an upgrade to 4K. This player is nice. It’s pretty bare bones and doesn’t have some of the bells & whistles more pricey players have such as Dolby Vision support, Built in WiFi and more than 1 HDMI output. However, it still gets the job done. The picture is crisp/sharp and the HDR brings out the colors & Blacks nicely. Blu Ray’s and DVD’s play great as well. If you want to start collecting 4K UHD Blu Ray movies and don’t want to pay a small fortune for a more expensive player then this is the player for you. Like other reviewers are stating , the only thing I wish was better is the remote. It’s really small and It’s not backlit and the function buttons are really small making it hard to see what you’re selecting. Until you get used to where the buttons are situated you will definitely need some light to see what you’re selecting. But for the price point this is a small problem. As far as longevity is concerned, that remains to be seen? I have another Panasonic 4K player in my home theater for about a year now and it’s been problem free so far. Hopefully this player is the same?

Product was as described. No issues, just go on YouTube to learn how to set it up properly.

This 4K is good Ultra Blu-Ray Player for the price. A few problems, but nothing too major. Pros: 1) Plays DVDs, most Blu-Rays, 4Ks. 2) Great picture quality and sound. 3) Can read from USB for pics and videos, and update files. 4) Small body (so it fits nicely on my TV Table (very slight overhang, barely noticeable). 5) Very easy to connect. Plug in Power cord, plug that into the outlet, plug in HDMI, plug in ethernet cable and run update. 6) You can change the title/chapters (my old regular Panasonic Blu-Ray did not allow for this). Cons: 1) No built-in wifi (In this day and age?) So you need to connect to a router to go online and update (streaming is not needed). This is a problem as I'm not located near the router. 2) Some Blu-Rays form 2011-2015 time frame don't work (same problem with my old Blu-Ray player). Some weird formatting issue. You'd think a modern player would play all formats, but nope. 3) Unlike my old Blu-Ray Player, there's no speeded up audio on the first fast forward (A Double Play, if you will). That is greatly missed. 4) Ridiculously small remote.

Absolutely beautiful. Extremely nice player

I typically like Panasonic products, but this Blu Ray Player does not inspire confidence. The Blu Ray tray mechanism sounds crudely mechanical. Like it will be lucky to last a year. Not the sound of quality. And it sounds even worse after using only four or five times. The remote is minuscule, about the quality of a child's party favor toy and lacks many niceties I'm accustomed to, like control for other devices (so you will need to juggle two remotes) and temporary illumination. No LED to let you know if it's working. I guess I can only blame myself for not purchasing a more premium model. Disposable. I'll be shopping for something better. Update 1: I've probably used this player a dozen times and the remote's Open/Close tray button seems to be failing already as other purchasers have noted. Lowering rating to 2 stars. Update 2: As predicted, the tray mechanism is failing at 6 months and very limited use. It doesn't open reliably using either the remove open button or the open button (5) on top of the player. Lowering to 1 star. Just junk. Update 3: On the tray mechanism, it will immediately open after start up. However, apparently there is a really long delay for the tray be responsive to a close command. Gee this is the 21st century. What's causing this lag time? What start up demanding start procedures would cause the tray closure to be unresponsive for quite a lengthy time? Now for the new complaint. Switching Closed Caption (CC) languages should be simple. With most players you simply and intuitively press the CC button on the remote to cycle through the available language options. But not the Panasonic player. It has the most convoluted, conditional, multi-step process. First, you have to press the CC button to activate the CC window. Guess what? There are no language options in the CC window. Second, you have to press the OPTIONS button, the CC window closes and a cluttered OPTIONS window appears. I'll emphasize that you can't directly access the OPTION window. Procedurally, you have to activate the CC window and only then can you access the OPTIONS window. Here you can get to a Subtitles menu, lacking any other helpful descriptions. Third, despite being being an on screen menu, you can only see one language option at a time and you must cycle through the language options one at a time, the same way you would on any slightly more advanced Blu Ray player remote. This is just a huge and needless step backwards in interface design.

I wanted to get a Panasonic Blu Ray player for some time but I could not find one at a good cost. My last one was a LG. Not bad but one I purchased earlier failed on me. So this time I purchased a Panasonic. The unit so far is working great. Just want to see if it lasts. Most things these days don't. I had a Panasonic VCR a while back and it was great. I have also owned a Panasonic Microwave and it was good as well. Like I said I have only had the unit a short while, but I like it so far.

Excelente aparelho, moderno .

輸入品だと明確に記載していないため、かなりの時間を待って到着、予定日も一日すぎてから使ってみたものの、日本製品のBlu-rayが一部見れない。買ってはダメです。

Não atendeu minha expectativa.

One of the best UHD/4K blu-ray players i have had. Its fast loading disc and the remote control is standard layout. All the buttons you need are available without going thru onscreen menus etc. Simple, easy to use. Being Infrared controllable its easy to add to a universal remote system
