Questions about Panasonic DP-UB9004

I don't have a Netflix subscription, but yesterday I opened the app and at the intro screen where I was offered a subscription, my LG OLED signalled Dolby Vision.

Hello Abra09HW. It works fine on my device. I just had a situation like this. However, this is not the case with all BluRays. I'm not sure, but I think the disc must also support this function in the disc menu. LG

No, unfortunately this is not possible. Only DVDs with the region code "2" or "ALL" can be played.

I have some older and repeatedly used DVDs which all work perfectly in the DP-UB154, I haven't noticed any scratched DVDs in particular, so far the unit has played all DVDs without any faults or interruptions.

This is made possible by the 4K High-Precision Chroma Processor - The technologies for Panasonic's unique 4K High-Precision Chroma processing come directly from the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, the centre of Blu-ray Disc research and development. In this process, 4K colour signals (4:2:0) are interpolated into 4K (4:4:4) using a multi-tap chroma process, making them appear even more natural and deeper.

Unfortunately, I can't help you here. I only play Blurays.

No, it cannot play wmv videos (from any medium). According to the operating instructions, it can play the following formats from a USB device: AVCHD, AVCHD 3D, MKV, MP4, MPEG2, JPEG, MPO, AAC, AIFF, ALAC, DSD (DFF, DSF), FLAC, MP3, WAV, WMA. I also tested it and copied 1 WMV and 1 MP4 to a USB stick: MP4 works, WMV does not.

1. Check that video and audio formats are supported by the Panasonic (instructions). 2. Try using the "Audio" button on the remote control. 3. via the "Option" button on the remote control and then "Audio track". Here are the complete instructions: https://tda.panasonic-europe-service.com/docs/2z60c34f49z3z3f556z6465z706466z23za5262727328428cafdac3450ac8098b86dead8d1/tsn3/data/ALL/DPUB824EG/OI/974281/UB824EG_full_ger_TQBS0302.pdf

Hello Combovit It is a player, not a recorder! You cannot record anything with it. The specification "1GB", and also in the technical data "Memory: hard disk, 1GB" is unfortunately incorrect and misleading. Not only digitec, but also other shops write this. But of course this device has NO hard drive memory. It certainly has internal memory, but you can't access it. The "1GB" is something completely different, as you can see in the operating instructions: if you want to use BD-Live content, the player needs network/Internet access and a connected memory with at least 1GB free space at the USB port.

According to Panasonic support, Dolby Atmos is also supported and can also be transferred to an AV receiver, provided that this also supports Dolby Atmos.

The Panasonic DP-UB9004 is not the latest high-end model; the Panasonic DP-UB9000 is the current flagship Ultra HD Blu-ray player from Panasonic. The DP-UB9000 offers advanced features such as 4K HDR processing, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and premium build quality, making it Panasonic's top-tier model as of 2025. Regarding voltage compatibility, Panasonic Blu-ray players, including the DP-UB9004, typically support 230 volts suitable for use in France, but it is recommended to verify the specific model's power specifications in the user manual or on the device label to confirm this.

What do you mean exactly?

According to our information, it is only a different target region (import), but technically the devices are the same.

2. you hear noise when inserting the disc, but not when playing it.

Hello :-) no need to waste any more hours testing, it's not possible... I have an LG G4 TV with this player, and it's negative. The TV has to be a Panasonic, which is what I had before. On the other hand, I can recommend the Sofabaton X1S programmable remote control, a worthy successor to the late Logitech Harmony, only better! programmable from the iOS or Android app! very satisfied!

The main difference between the Panasonic DP-UB824EGK and the DP-UB820EG is their target market. The DP-UB824EGK is aimed at the Swiss market, while the DP-UB820EG is for the French market. Both devices are identical in terms of functionality. In terms of features, these Blu-ray players offer 4K Ultra HD playback, 3D compatibility, and audio technologies such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master. They also have Wi-Fi connectivity for streaming.

I don't have any specific information about the "DP-UB824EGK" model compared to the "DP-UB820". However, to compare similar Panasonic models, here are some general points that might be relevant: - Build quality: Newer or more expensive models may have better build quality or more robust materials. - AV features: More expensive models may offer advanced features such as better support for HDR formats or improved audio quality. - Connectivity: Newer models may include more connectivity options, such as additional HDMI ports or improved wireless connectivity. For precise information, I recommend that you consult Panasonic's official specifications or contact their customer service department.

Well, it's the same model, just that the 9000 is for the US and the UK.

I have the Panasonic DMP BDT 184 Does not read 4K UHD disc

The "DP-UB824EGK" device from Panasonic can indeed convert 5.1 or 7.1 channel content into stereo output. - It offers analogue audio outputs, including 2-channel (stereo) outputs, where the audio signals can be downmixed from 5.1 or 7.1 channels to 2 channels. You can set the "Analogue Audio Output" to "2ch (Downmix)" in the device settings to convert the audio output to stereo.

Yes, the Panasonic DP-UB154 can play simple, mundane CDs from your old CD collection. The device supports the playback of CDs alongside Ultra HD Blu-Ray discs, Blu-Ray discs, DVDs and other media formats.

Hello, The documentation provided by Panasonic does not detail which subtitle settings are available. However, we can confirm that this device does have a "Subtitle Settings" section.

Not to my knowledge.....

Unfortunately, the DP-UB820EG is no longer available and can no longer be ordered. Generally speaking, we do not have a Regio free Blu-ray player in our range. However, most UHD Blu-rays are Regio free, but there are also those that have a lock. The DP-UB824 would definitely be more attractive in terms of price and would also be available at the moment.

Netflix can be selected directly on the remote control. The main menu Internet service contains: Lets play with numbers, Netflix, YouTube, Blueraydisk, Prime Video with direct link to Amazon, Market, Webbrouser (after entering "google.ch" is function like on PC ), Tumem. The drive accepts Blueray 4K with HDR perfectly, CD, CD-R, DVD-R, BR-R (self-burned, also in 3D MVC-encoded) ! I have seen some film title images from Disney plus ! (Using SEARCH in the menu is a bit awkward, but it should be possible, but I don't know if it corresponds to the Disney+ app! )
