I followed the guide and it works fine with my Sony OLED with 4K/60 4:4:4. Initially, I thought 4:4:4 was not working but it turned out to be a older HDMI cable which was not certified to handle UHD (only HD) as I was getting random picture break ups until I replaced it with one which is and the issue disappeared. Just curious, I noticed the resolution, you had it hard set to 4K instead of Auto, this should not matter correct?
Great! If you use a Sony TV, whether you force 4K or Auto it makes no difference. The biggest problem is when you use “cheapo” TVs and projectors which can make the handshake to take much longer time.
Setting up the 420 today for my new Visio OLED. When the 4K movie starts, it still says HDR in the upper right corner. Not sure what I did wrong? Dolby Atmos is engaged! Picture looks good. I’ll double check my HDMI cable and port. 👍
Dolby Vision is not affected by my settings. It is Dolby’s licensing agreement that DV settings can not be altered. And yes, even with regular HDR10, the HDR logo will still show up, it is merely customized for your display.
Bought the ub820 in November 2023 to use on my old trusty 2019 Sony 43in LED, set up all your settings per your instructions minus the a couple. Fast forward to Feb 2024, after purchasing the A75L the almighty algorithm popped your video back up, which I didn’t hesitate to click again for a refresher. I proceeded to turn on the Dolby Vision setting and HDR type to OLED. Thank you for posting!
i had done most of these when I first got the player, except the audio. i always felt like my soundbar and surround were not living up to their expectations - after making your audio setting change, the sound was greatly improved! thanks!
@debbiecoyle5134 it doesn’t matter. On or off, I can’t hear any difference. Even with test tones I can’t tell the difference. I turn it on just in case but no difference can be detected.
You’re amazing! You have no idea …You saved Christmas for my family 🎄👍🙏❤️ We got a brand new TV and Blu-ray player for the family we hooked it up and everything was dark every single movie we played … my kids were so disappointed lol I was to 😂….your tips literally fixed everything visuals are amazing now after your tips -- seriously thank you for posting this video 🙏
The HDR settings on my UB9000 remote come in handy when my NX7 projector displays a dark image in movies. I usually keep it on “Light environment”. to preserve my blacks rather than the “Bright Environment “ setting. Although every movie is different it’s a great feature. Great product.
Thank you for this set up video. Was having trouble getting atmos outputs on my sony blu ray player but with your settings everything now works great.😅👍
Excellent video! I just installed and set up my newly purchased Panasonic UB9000 with my LG OLED55C1. Firmware updated to latest 1.69 version. What an improvement over playing 4K movies on PS5. So much better image quality than PS5. Thanks for providing this recommended UB9000 setup video!
When you stop it and after 20 minutes you start it again, does it start from the point of the movie where it stopped? or does it start again from the beginning of the movie? They say that the 820 can't keep memory and it starts from the beginning of the movie!!
Had problems since day one with the hrd optimizer being greyed out in the video settings. Those 3 tabs at the top had set 1, set 2, 4k dvd standard. Panasonic said it couldn't be adjusted so was getting ready to ship it back for refund when it magically moved to tab 1 which is set 1. Now it has an incredible picture. Your video shows it was easy to turn on so argued with Panasonic for an hour before giving up. I had your other settings correct but the picture was horrible until for whatever reason it reset itself. Have it hooked to a Samsung Qled 900a which I just purchased recently. Wish I could help in case this happens again but am clueless after 40 days why its working now. Thank you very much for this video, it helped me to know it wasn't anything I done wrong. Appreciate you taking the time to do it
Thank you for watching my cruddy video. Kindly subscribe to my channel to support me and to get tech updates as I am currently at CES2023 in Las Vegas.
This was so helpful. For the longest time, it keep saying something like "Dynamic conversion" and would not say that it was in HDR. I would add to this video under: settings, advance settings, HDR/Color Gamut output. To make sure it says HDR and not SDR. The default setting was SDR. I have the Panasonic USB420.
My setting is HDR/Color Gamut output, but when I hit the HDR Settings on my USB420, nothing happens. Hopefully, the advance setting automatically makes it HDR without having to turn it on via remote.
Usually you should do it once the first time. After that you don’t need to do it again. Also don’t forget the HDR Optimizer only works with HDR, not Dolby Vision

Ty so much for this video. My friend sent it to me after recommending I buy the 820! Am excellent recommend on both the player and this video optimizing the settings! Have a great day!
Thanks for this video! Had my eye on this 4k player for a bit waiting for the right time to buy and today was that day! Amazon had it for $347.00, priced matched it at Best Buy and picked it up. I was using the PS5 and it did a pretty good job, but what bothered me was that it didn’t have HDR 10+ or Dolby Vision. So I went down the rabbit hole of getting a 4K player. I have a LG OLED 65CXAUA, Sonos Arc, 2 x Sonos ERA 300 (rears), and the Mini Sub (don’t like the look of the regular one). Your settings worked perfectly! Plays Dolby Vision by default. I really didn’t think I would notice much difference from the PS5, but there is definitely a difference! I am supper happy I picked up this player.
A really cool feature to have would be to be able to scan and recognize your TV brand/model/and type and auto adjust or make recommendation settings. If not doable, at least let you manually enter in your TV info and it just has to access some database somewhere on the internet and retrieve the recommended settings for your TV. If Logitech Harmony remotes can detect thousands of devices and apply the correct functions from their data somewhere, I'm sure Panasonic could do it too.
Yea Xiong...yeah that would be nice but don't hold your breath. The frequency manufactures put out updates are few and far between. For something like you're suggesting might be a hardware issue too I don't know.
They could easily do it, they're just not willing to put any investment into it. And well, it doesn't seem like they're really making new 4K blu-ray players anymore. Well, they do still make a few... but in terms of price/performance this 4 year old one is still the best.... and also still very pricey. Though not as pricey as most others they make these days which are nothing more than niche gimmicks such as being able to support very specific audio formats and have very specific ports almost no one even uses. 4K blu-ray is already a niche market and they are aiming for a niche of the niche.
Thanks for the tips. I just bought the UB820 on sale for $399. I've been watching this player for awhile and was looking for the right price to upgrade over my budget player (UBP X-700), which I gave to a relative. I already had almost everything set up correctly, including changing the annoying default secondary audio setting, but I had missed the second 4:4:4 setting (the one in Color Mode). I didn't expect more than one for 4:4:4.
I just upgraded myself from the sony x-700. The panasonic gets delivered today and I plan on watching a 4k disc right as its set up :D. How have you liked the differences between the sony and panasonic? Are they noticeable to justify the $250 difference in price? This is definitely a purchase I hid from the lady as we just bought an LG G1, which she was said ENOUGH BUYING! But she loves the TV so hopefully she will like the new 4k player as well :).
@@Handsx The upgrade to the Panasonic was worth it to me for a few reasons. Getting it at $100 off was also nice start. The most obvious reason for this upgrade is probably the Panasonic is more advanced and higher quality technically and supports more features and formats. My OLED also supports most formats, including HDR-10+ and Dolby Vision, which I didn't get with the lower end player. I'm in a situation that I can afford above a budget model. Finally, I knew the relative I gave my old player to would get a lot of enjoyment out of it but is stubborn as a mule and would have never bought one herself. I'm pretty happy with the upgrade, and to significantly improve upon what I have now you'd probably have to go into the thousand to thousands of dollars range, which is beyond what I think is necessary for my purposes.
@@AKSBSU The Sony will be going in our bedroom where the old 4k tv will go, so I need another player either way. It'll be interesting to see how well the HDR optimizer does for tone mapping vs the LG G1 tone mapping. Will have to try both. I wish I could take advantage of the audio but I currently only have a 2.0 setup with a stereo amp and kef bookshelf speakers. I use an optical out from the tv so unfortunately I think there will be some transcoding from the 4k player to tv to amp. I wish the Panasonic had a coaxial digital out like the Sony player, but oh well! Not a huge loss.
I have to point out, and I tested with both my UB9000 and UB820 players, if you change the Deep Color Output from YCbCr from (Auto) to YCbCr (4:4:4), suggested at about 2:13 in the video, you no longer will be able to view Netflix in HDR nor use Panasonic's HDR Optimizer. I was on Auto previously before watching this vid and once I switched settings HDR was no longer available. With some trouble shooting I figured this out. Of course this is Netflix and streaming (not 4K disc quality) so I certainly plan to switch back to 4:4:4 when watching 4k discs as you suggest. Just wanted to point that out (as I like using the HDR optimizer for Netflix and Amazon Prime on these players). Thanks for video!
When you stop it and after 20 minutes you start it again, does it start from the point of the movie where it stopped? or does it start again from the beginning of the movie? They say that the 820 can't keep memory and it starts from the beginning of the movie!!
@@asklipieionvita8736 If your film is on pause and goes back to the screen saver, when you press play it will go back to the start. If you press OK it will resume from where you left off.
David...thank you sooo much.i bought the Panasonic 420 yesterday and had several issues..copyright violation..disk not compatible...extreme pixalization..can't recognize disk. .the I followed all your steps..and behold..now it works fine..I was about to return it...thank you ever so much..now Taylor Swift looks hotter than ever!!
Thank you for your video. I just bought the UB820 for a Christmas present and first thing I looked up was adjusting the settings. Your video helped to fine tune my settings! Thanks again!
David! Thankyou sooo much! for this vid just got mine today, My Pany DP UB 9000 your setup instructions were to the TEE😂 I have Denon, klipsch speakers , dual subs and it really sounds better than my old UHD BLU RAY PLAYER its a Samsung.
Thank you for this video. Just got the 9000 on Monday so haven't spent much time with it yet but wow, it feels heavy... built like a tank! Hopefully it will last for many years. I will make these changes today.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Okay, I'm just now seeing your last message. I already made all the setting changes. Should I change them back? I don't think I remember what the original settings were. At what minute:second mark does the first step end?
This video gave me some important info that I could not figure out for myself as far as the picture quality with this UHD 4 K DVD player. However as far as the audio, I have this player-which I love-hooked up to a 5 channel surround system with an Onkyo amplifier that controls all the sound through the 5 speakers plus a sub woofer. . So looking thorough all three sets of manuals can get really confusing for us not techies out here. I still have to play with the amp controls to get the best sound and once that happens, it is great. And anyone who reads this that thinks that streaming on a 8x4 inch phone screen is great has never had true video outside of a movie theater. I do collect DVDS and am a movie lover from way back to the VCR days.
Good vid David. I have an older player , a UB 900 going to a Sony 65" X9000F. I found I could have some freezing/picture break up , which many forums said was due to the player's 4:4:4 12 bit setting ( 4K blu ray is a 10 bit technology ) , still seems to work on Panasonic TV's fine. Anyway, I changed my settings to the 4:2:0 format and these problems disappeared. Still looks great. I was wondering if Panasonic have fixed this with their new players, I notice their setup menu has changed slightly. Thanks.
It is true when the cable and/or the display can’t handle the 4:4:4 signal. If you are using 4:2:0, it means you’re not using the Panasonic Chroma Upsampler technology.
4:4:4 12 bit setting with HDR require HDMI 2.0 that support bandwidth of 13,37 Mbps, so the TV needs a HDMI board supporting the maximum bit rate of 18Mbps. Early 4K TV might not support that bandwidth. You can change the colour mode to 4:2:2. 4:2:2 still support HDR.
Great info David. Thanks for sharing. You solved my audio “no DTX” issue. You have a new subscriber:) I’m about to order either the UB9000 or UB820 and will connect to the NX7 projector. I’m reading conflicting opinions on the use of HDR optimizer, when the projector is set with DTM. Is there a benefit as they seem to be doing similar things (unless I’m confusing the technologies)?
Thank you!! If you use HDR Optimizer with NX7, you should choose Pana PQ option on the projector. I personally use the projector’s DTM and turn HDR Optimizer off. Wait until Tuesday when I post the important basic settings for JVC projectors.
This was an amazing video! Thank you so much! I bought my Panasonic 420 open box at Best Buy, but it didn't come with a remote. So I found a replacement one on Amazon but it doesn't have the HDR setting button that you mentioned on the last step. Is there a work around?
I have my settings pretty much like this on my UB820. But, for those that don't know, if you have a 4K Disc that has both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ on it and both settings are enabled on the player, it will default to HDR10+ and not Dolby Vision. I have to turn off the setting for HDR10+ for Dolby Vision to play back on my Panasonic GZ2000 OLED.
Would it be possible to do a short video showing what do the various details in "playback info" mean when selecting this while watching a 4k blu ray? This would be a great addition to this video
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted thankyou. The instruction booklet for the 820 doesn't show this and it's hard to find information on this on the internet would you believe it.
Hi David - fantastic video! I knew something looked/sounded off when watching Top Gun: Maverick and John Wick 4. The picture and sound quality are amazing now after configuring it to your recommending settings.
These settings you showed are very interesting and one question I have are these one time settings? In other words are settings the same for 1080P blu ray movies too or do the settings have to be changed every time you put in a different format 4k to blu ray and back? Do settings have to be adjusted continuously depending on the format. I'd like to have a player I don't continuously have to mess with. Very well done "how to" thanks. I desperately need a reliable player that is well built, my current player is a LG UP970 and it makes so much noise when playing 4K discs I can't wait to throw it in the trash.Honestly I never played too many 4K discs on it until lately so I didn't realize how bad it is (noise wise).
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted ...GOOD NEWS! Thank you for the quick reply, you're helping me get closer to my next 4K Player, I'd get the UB820 if not for the whole front folding open it just looks flimsy and like it'll break/scratch.
@@harryberry474 yeah wish they made it more sturdy like the Sony X800M2 but with all the features this has. After all the Pana is $200 more than the Sony but the 820 has DV and the other 3 formats (HDR, HDR10+ and HLG) and the Sony does not have DV (go figure)!. They would definitely compete with all the Oppo lovers out there if it had better build quality and asthetics
When you want to watch 1080p blu-ray movie, change resolution at 1080, do not set at 4k. Because picture will lose sharpness and will be more bllury. Upscaling is bad thing. If you dont believe me More here: www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00151969 or do some test your own. Try 1080 and try 4k and you will see differences.
So here’s a question for the optimum hdr adjustment setting does that have to be turned on every time you put a disc in or does it stay selected permanently? Got a 820 coming in hopefully this week so this really helped
My other Panasonic player is a refurbished one and unfortunately does not play the 4k discs. So my new order is a new in the box model I ordered through Best Buy. Not buying refurbished electronics any more. However I was able to set the old player to the (4K/60 4:4:4) setting and was amazed how much that improved the picture quality. Even on DVD's. Again thanks for the helpful set up video. @@DavidSusiloUnscripted
@danielparker3842 and yes. I don’t buy refurbished anything anymore. I always have bad luck with refurbished products including refurbished (certified) used car.
Thank you for this video, it was so helpful, bought my UB820 in early december and I am now just getting round to properly setting it up to watch a proper 4K movie. I wanted the first 4K movie I watched to be my all time favourite The Fast and the Furious, I have it on DVD and watched it like 20 times but wasnt the best quality so wanted to upgrade. Just set the player up with these settings and started the movie, looks 10 times better. The movie has some longer scenes. Anyway if anyone happens to read this, treat yourself to 1 of these players. Expensive buy, but well worth it.
I'm using an Epson 2250 projector (2700 lumens, 1080P resolution). When playing a 4k movie, which Panasonic (ub420) setting do you think would look better: 1. Panasonic set to 1080P output (let the Panasonic process the picture) 2. Panasonic set to 4k (4:4:4) output (the Epson would have to downconvert the 4k to 1080P). I would think the first option looks the best.
That is correct. For 1080p application, just set the Panasonic to 1080p and leave everything to auto. Thanks for commenting. Please like and subscribe if you have the chance,
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted That's a shame because I'm seeing a lot of judder on my lord of the rings 4k on my LGC1. Would have liked to turn on a little bit of smooth motion
Thanks for the video. One mistake, if you set the Color Mode to YCbCR (4:4:4), then HDR movies play in SDR. I would just leave it at the default of YCbCr (Auto).
@@brandonmartinez5939 That’s good that means it’s working correctly. For some reason I was experiencing the same issue mentioned by the person who posted the correction.
Switch to auto! 4:2:2 is the correct setting for 4K films and 4:4:4 is best for blurays, so select auto and your player will switch automatically to the correct setting. Also, turn off deep color if you’re watching 4K films. It’s a bluray setting and it makes 4K films look slightly hazy
Hi David, I tried your setting but I have adjusted 24p Output to “Off” as this setting defaults output to 24p to match with source content and I find that I get an audio delay when I don’t output at 60p. I also find that with above set, when I adjust the color mode from YCbCr (Auto) to YCbCr (4:4:4) then the player outputs in SDR instead of HDR.
Which TV are you using? Some TV/Receiver/display combo can have that problem. As for SDR problem, just skip the first thing I mentioned in the video and you should be fine.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Thanks for your reply. I am using TCL C835 (2022 Model) with a Marantz SR7015 connected with HDMI 2.1 Fibre optic at both ends.
Can you do a video about the actual VIDEO settings when a 4K disc is playing? Like recommended settings for all options? Chroma level, Edge enhancement, sharpness, etc.? That would be wonderful 😊
I can but I can’t recommend any settings because depending on the Tv you use, screen size, viewing distance, lighting condition, those values are all over the place
@DavidSusiloUnscripted sounds good. I have a 65 inch Sony A95K. I was just thinking of just a video overall that breaks down those specific settings, as well as the overall pros and cons, regardless of your TV type 👍
@johnnieboy66 I have to remove hoapat’s half-truth misinformation. 1. The disc is in 4:2:0 BUT this player’s ability to do chroma upsampling is one of the reasons this player won many awards. Yes the TV will upsample the 4:2:0 to 4:4:4 BUT more often than not, the 4:2:0 to 4:4:4 chroma upsampling is done BEST by the 420/820/9000 2. Using HDMI 2.1 for this player is NOT going to improve anything. The maximum bitrate of this player (and AppleTV 4K) is at 17.8 gbps. Using either an 18gbps cable or 48gbps cable is not going to change the quality at all.
Glad I stumbled upon this video I just received a region moded ub9000 and was surprised by the weight and build quality... I'll be hooking it up to my 65hz2000 tomorrow and will try your recommendation... thanks from the uk...👍🏽 Liked and subscribed...
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Thanks for the reply.. Yes the gz2000 is an awesome oled too .. that and the hz2000 apparently have better black detail than the later jz models...but like the fact they introduced master panels without atmos speakers...

I bought my daughter a Panasonic lx800b led (has atmos built in too) as shes moving out and am wary getting her oled as they tend to pause the tv alot...Great channel and look forward to more videos... have a great Christmas
I just bought the Panasonic UB820, it'll be here in couple of days. I'll try your settings and see if it plays well with my 85" Sony X90K thanks for the tips. 👍
Thank you very much for producing this video. I know none of this and just starting using my player so IO will be sure to check these settings. Thanks again.
Thank you for this very informal video David I have a Panasonic UB820 and it is excellent with my LG OLED and this helps me get the best from them look forward to more great videos from you in the future.
I have had BD-Video Secondary Audio set to Auto and have always got Dolby Atmos and DTS-X through my Yamaha receiver. At least that it what has always shown up on my Yamaha receiver's display.
Good stuff. Thanks. Just ordered mine so looking forward to "unlocking" its full potential with these settings. 4k Heaven here we come.... BTW, Subscribed
The picture on the 820 is absolutely nuts, I will be playing a 1080p bluray on my 1080TV and I swear it looks almost like im at the movies. I just hope the player lasts at least 5 years.
I just done your settings and they work perfectly although I had already done some of them when I got the player. I have it connected to a 55 inch Panasonic HZ1000B, fantastic tv!! I also liked and subscribed!!
Great video David, thx. Question: sadly I dont have a jvc projector, however I could get a great out of the box deal on a sony xw-5000es. A luxury problem as it’s also great in certain aspects. Should the HDR tv settings always be put to projector, no matter what projector you are using? Thx again!
You still need to use projector preset for the HDR Optimizer regardless of the projector. Thank you for watching and do ask any questions if you have any. Just tag me. Please watch my other crappy video for shi+ and giggles. 😅
A new subscriber here. Thank you for the informative video. LG C9, and Panasonic DP-UB820. I was able to set up the Optimizer setting to On using the Options button. However, even if the Panasonic DP-UB820 is playing an HDR movie, (Blade Runner 2049) pushing the HDR Settings button displays a warning: This function is valid only for HDR video output. Interestingly, pushing the Info button displays HDMI Out SDR/BT.709. Oposite, pushing the Playback Info button twice, shows the right HDR primary mastering metadata for BT (PQ) 2020/P3D65, including full chromaticity info. The HDMI cable is Premium 18 Gbs. Any comment will be appreciated.
I ordered myself a DP-UB820EB-K today as an early present for the holidays, and once it arrives I will definitely be changing the settings as you suggest. Thank you.
Hi David, thx 4 your videos, in particular the Panasonic UB820, of which I am in the process of reviewing and maybe purchasing as a well rounded UHD4K player that can do the latest formats. I am in the process of house renovations and the living room is where I mostly watch media such as movies, streaming, etc for the latest entertainment. As part of the reno is to purchase an LG G2 OLED, new theatre receiver, sub and all the rest of that stuff however the UHD player is another item on the list as I don't live just to live stream. One feature that it seems not talked about for the Pana 820 is the Network caperbilities and usefulness. My setup is Cat 6 Ethernet using the appropiate cables, Switches and Routers for DLNA file playback whereby my WIN10 PC is a DLNA Server and other devices are DLNA Clients. I wish to to potentially utilise the Panasonic UB820 that has networking Ethernet (and WiFi) caperbilities and I have read the Pana Specifications that look great in black and white however in practice may NOT live up to at least my current setup that works very good for HD, UHD content albeit compressed audio in 5.1 channels. My SAMSUNG JS9000 TV is now 7+yrs old however can play large file sizes with 4K content via DLNA network without jutter or buffering which is not bad for an old hardware setup. I would not want to lose my current DLNA caperbilities as this is much more convenient than using HDD via USB ports. Yes I do have plenty of UHD and BR discs in my library and I know utilimatily this is the best medium for video/audio entertainment experience. I plan to continue use to play my discs on a UHD player however DLNA network caperbilities is a winner in my view and gives one options. The Pana820 it seems is a great disc player, yeah the UI is clunky however I can live with this. Your thoughts are appreciated and I hope that you may have some info regarding the Pana820 and networking. Usually if a device cannot support various media formats by USB then the network will also fail. thx again.
@@MahlerHolic1860 That’s the older Sony. I have the exact same model. I also can’t use 4:4:4 for that TV. Also for HDR Optimizer use “medium luminance LCD” preset

I followed the guide and it works fine with my Sony OLED with 4K/60 4:4:4.

Excellent video! I just installed and set up my newly purchased Panasonic UB9000 with my LG OLED55C1. Firmware updated to latest 1.69 version. What an improvement over playing 4K movies on PS5. So much better image quality than PS5.
Thanks for providing this recommended UB9000 setup video!
I should get my UB9000 today too! Same exact tv and using the Ps5. Super excited!
When you stop it and after 20 minutes you start it again, does it start from the point of the movie where it stopped? or does it start again from the beginning of the movie? They say that the 820 can't keep memory and it starts from the beginning of the movie!!
That depends in disc itself. It is not controlled by the player.
You just made my 820 and LG C1 come alive. Thank you
Does you’re c1 still say 8 rgb when using the player
Just recently picked up an 820 and these settings helped! On my own, I had some of these already, but the other stuff helped even more. Thanks!
Glad I can help!
Had problems since day one with the hrd optimizer being greyed out in the video settings. Those 3 tabs at the top had set 1, set 2, 4k dvd standard. Panasonic said it couldn't be adjusted so was getting ready to ship it back for refund when it magically moved to tab 1 which is set 1. Now it has an incredible picture. Your video shows it was easy to turn on so argued with Panasonic for an hour before giving up. I had your other settings correct but the picture was horrible until for whatever reason it reset itself. Have it hooked to a Samsung Qled 900a which I just purchased recently. Wish I could help in case this happens again but am clueless after 40 days why its working now. Thank you very much for this video, it helped me to know it wasn't anything I done wrong. Appreciate you taking the time to do it
Thank you for watching my cruddy video. Kindly subscribe to my channel to support me and to get tech updates as I am currently at CES2023 in Las Vegas.
This was so helpful. For the longest time, it keep saying something like "Dynamic conversion" and would not say that it was in HDR. I would add to this video under: settings, advance settings, HDR/Color Gamut output. To make sure it says HDR and not SDR. The default setting was SDR. I have the Panasonic USB420.
My setting is HDR/Color Gamut output, but when I hit the HDR Settings on my USB420, nothing happens. Hopefully, the advance setting automatically makes it HDR without having to turn it on via remote.
Usually you should do it once the first time. After that you don’t need to do it again. Also don’t forget the HDR Optimizer only works with HDR, not Dolby Vision
Great video! I appreciate it man. You're paying for this so why not get the most you can out of the player? This was a great help

Thank you so much for this. We added your settings and got a more terrific picture, especially skin tones. Thanks
Thanks for this video!
Had my eye on this 4k player for a bit waiting for the right time to buy and today was that day! Amazon had it for $347.00, priced matched it at Best Buy and picked it up.
I was using the PS5 and it did a pretty good job, but what bothered me was that it didn’t have HDR 10+ or Dolby Vision. So I went down the rabbit hole of getting a 4K player.
I have a LG OLED 65CXAUA, Sonos Arc, 2 x Sonos ERA 300 (rears), and the Mini Sub (don’t like the look of the regular one). Your settings worked perfectly! Plays Dolby Vision by default.
I really didn’t think I would notice much difference from the PS5, but there is definitely a difference! I am supper happy I picked up this player.
Woo hoo!! Congrats and thank you for watching and subscribing
Thank You! I had so many of my settings still turned off. Now I need to go back and re-watch all of my 4K movies!

A really cool feature to have would be to be able to scan and recognize your TV brand/model/and type and auto adjust or make recommendation settings. If not doable, at least let you manually enter in your TV info and it just has to access some database somewhere on the internet and retrieve the recommended settings for your TV.
If Logitech Harmony remotes can detect thousands of devices and apply the correct functions from their data somewhere, I'm sure Panasonic could do it too.
Yea Xiong...yeah that would be nice but don't hold your breath. The frequency manufactures put out updates are few and far between. For something like you're suggesting might be a hardware issue too I don't know.
They could easily do it, they're just not willing to put any investment into it. And well, it doesn't seem like they're really making new 4K blu-ray players anymore. Well, they do still make a few... but in terms of price/performance this 4 year old one is still the best.... and also still very pricey. Though not as pricey as most others they make these days which are nothing more than niche gimmicks such as being able to support very specific audio formats and have very specific ports almost no one even uses. 4K blu-ray is already a niche market and they are aiming for a niche of the niche.
Thanks for the tips. I just bought the UB820 on sale for $399. I've been watching this player for awhile and was looking for the right price to upgrade over my budget player (UBP X-700), which I gave to a relative. I already had almost everything set up correctly, including changing the annoying default secondary audio setting, but I had missed the second 4:4:4 setting (the one in Color Mode). I didn't expect more than one for 4:4:4.
Thank you for watching. Please like, share, and subscribe to my channel.
There are some great youtube videos that explain 4:4:4 and other encoding and how they work - also analog vs. digital and how digital has evolved.
I just upgraded myself from the sony x-700. The panasonic gets delivered today and I plan on watching a 4k disc right as its set up :D. How have you liked the differences between the sony and panasonic? Are they noticeable to justify the $250 difference in price? This is definitely a purchase I hid from the lady as we just bought an LG G1, which she was said ENOUGH BUYING! But she loves the TV so hopefully she will like the new 4k player as well :).
@@Handsx The upgrade to the Panasonic was worth it to me for a few reasons. Getting it at $100 off was also nice start. The most obvious reason for this upgrade is probably the Panasonic is more advanced and higher quality technically and supports more features and formats. My OLED also supports most formats, including HDR-10+ and Dolby Vision, which I didn't get with the lower end player. I'm in a situation that I can afford above a budget model. Finally, I knew the relative I gave my old player to would get a lot of enjoyment out of it but is stubborn as a mule and would have never bought one herself. I'm pretty happy with the upgrade, and to significantly improve upon what I have now you'd probably have to go into the thousand to thousands of dollars range, which is beyond what I think is necessary for my purposes.
@@AKSBSU The Sony will be going in our bedroom where the old 4k tv will go, so I need another player either way. It'll be interesting to see how well the HDR optimizer does for tone mapping vs the LG G1 tone mapping. Will have to try both. I wish I could take advantage of the audio but I currently only have a 2.0 setup with a stereo amp and kef bookshelf speakers. I use an optical out from the tv so unfortunately I think there will be some transcoding from the 4k player to tv to amp. I wish the Panasonic had a coaxial digital out like the Sony player, but oh well! Not a huge loss.
Many thanks for taking the time and making the effort to share this with us all. Much appreciated.

Bro, just looked at your page and I like what you do, so much so I just subscribed.
Thank you for watching
I have to point out, and I tested with both my UB9000 and UB820 players, if you change the Deep Color Output from YCbCr from (Auto) to YCbCr (4:4:4), suggested at about 2:13 in the video, you no longer will be able to view Netflix in HDR nor use Panasonic's HDR Optimizer. I was on Auto previously before watching this vid and once I switched settings HDR was no longer available. With some trouble shooting I figured this out. Of course this is Netflix and streaming (not 4K disc quality) so I certainly plan to switch back to 4:4:4 when watching 4k discs as you suggest. Just wanted to point that out (as I like using the HDR optimizer for Netflix and Amazon Prime on these players). Thanks for video!
When you stop it and after 20 minutes you start it again, does it start from the point of the movie where it stopped? or does it start again from the beginning of the movie? They say that the 820 can't keep memory and it starts from the beginning of the movie!!

@@hoapat4247 Thanks!
Great video! This is for non Dolby Vision content, correct? When Dolby Vision is on, you cannot access the HDR optimizer it seems. Thanks again!
That is correct. Dolby Vision is in its own closed loop so nothing can be done about that.
no need for HDR Opto if the Disc has DV as that is the ULTIMATE pix already. The optimizer is Only needed for HDR10/HDR10+ content
Fantastic training video I like how you pause your speaking so I can follow your instructions my tv image is much better now
Thank you for watching. Kindly subscribe to my channel and watch my other videos if you can.
This video gave me some important info that I could not figure out for myself as far as the picture quality with this UHD 4 K DVD player. However as far as the audio, I have this player-which I love-hooked up to a 5 channel surround system with an Onkyo amplifier that controls all the sound through the 5 speakers plus a sub woofer. . So looking thorough all three sets of manuals can get really confusing for us not techies out here. I still have to play with the amp controls to get the best sound and once that happens, it is great. And anyone who reads this that thinks that streaming on a 8x4 inch phone screen is great has never had true video outside of a movie theater. I do collect DVDS and am a movie lover from way back to the VCR days.
Thank you for watching and commenting
Good vid David. I have an older player , a UB 900 going to a Sony 65" X9000F. I found I could have some freezing/picture break up , which many forums said was due to the player's 4:4:4 12 bit setting ( 4K blu ray is a 10 bit technology ) , still seems to work on Panasonic TV's fine. Anyway, I changed my settings to the 4:2:0 format and these problems disappeared. Still looks great. I was wondering if Panasonic have fixed this with their new players, I notice their setup menu has changed slightly. Thanks.
It is true when the cable and/or the display can’t handle the 4:4:4 signal. If you are using 4:2:0, it means you’re not using the Panasonic Chroma Upsampler technology.
4:4:4 12 bit setting with HDR require HDMI 2.0 that support bandwidth of 13,37 Mbps, so the TV needs a HDMI board supporting the maximum bit rate of 18Mbps. Early 4K TV might not support that bandwidth. You can change the colour mode to 4:2:2. 4:2:2 still support HDR.
@@jliang70 yes. You can do that if your TV can’t handle it but you’re not using Panasonic’s chroma upsampling if you use the 4:2:2.
Great info David. Thanks for sharing. You solved my audio “no DTX” issue. You have a new subscriber:) I’m about to order either the UB9000 or UB820 and will connect to the NX7 projector. I’m reading conflicting opinions on the use of HDR optimizer, when the projector is set with DTM. Is there a benefit as they seem to be doing similar things (unless I’m confusing the technologies)?
Thank you!! If you use HDR Optimizer with NX7, you should choose Pana PQ option on the projector. I personally use the projector’s DTM and turn HDR Optimizer off.
Wait until Tuesday when I post the important basic settings for JVC projectors.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Thanks for the advice. Just watched the JVC video: very helpful too.
Just a tip, keep your camera stationary when shooting videos.
Thank you very much! I had HDR optimizer off and did not have display set to OLED
Glad it helped
This was an amazing video! Thank you so much! I bought my Panasonic 420 open box at Best Buy, but it didn't come with a remote. So I found a replacement one on Amazon but it doesn't have the HDR setting button that you mentioned on the last step. Is there a work around?
only the 820 has the HDR optimizer not the 420. They force you to pay more $$ for the features you REALLY want :)
I have the UB420 and the my only complaint is basically a useless screensaver mode that doesn't work in pause mode which doesn't make any sense.
Just dialed in my 820 with your settings. Thanks alot. Now on to demp a BUNCH of 4k content! :p

I went back and did all these settings after forgetting I did not do it when I got my Sony A80K 77 Oled. What a difference .
Beautiful!! Thank you for watching my video.
I have my settings pretty much like this on my UB820. But, for those that don't know, if you have a 4K Disc that has both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ on it and both settings are enabled on the player, it will default to HDR10+ and not Dolby Vision. I have to turn off the setting for HDR10+ for Dolby Vision to play back on my Panasonic GZ2000 OLED.
I also use the GZ2000. Love that TV!!
Defaults on Dolby vision for me.
Thanks,great help
HDR is such a hot mess. Makes me not even want to mess with it sometimes.
If your TV is set properly and the player is set properly, they are nowhere near “a hot mess”.
Would it be possible to do a short video showing what do the various details in "playback info" mean when selecting this while watching a 4k blu ray? This would be a great addition to this video
I will definitely take that into consideration. Thank your for watching. Hope you subscribe to my lowly channel

Hi David - fantastic video! I knew something looked/sounded off when watching Top Gun: Maverick and John Wick 4. The picture and sound quality are amazing now after configuring it to your recommending settings.
Glad I can help. Please subscribe to my channel to help my channel grow
These settings you showed are very interesting and one question I have are these one time settings? In other words are settings the same for 1080P blu ray movies too or do the settings have to be changed every time you put in a different format 4k to blu ray and back? Do settings have to be adjusted continuously depending on the format. I'd like to have a player I don't continuously have to mess with. Very well done "how to" thanks. I desperately need a reliable player that is well built, my current player is a LG UP970 and it makes so much noise when playing 4K discs I can't wait to throw it in the trash.Honestly I never played too many 4K discs on it until lately so I didn't realize how bad it is (noise wise).
Once you’re done with the settings, you’re done for good. You only need to do it once and it is valid for all DV, BD and 4K BD.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted ...GOOD NEWS! Thank you for the quick reply, you're helping me get closer to my next 4K Player, I'd get the UB820 if not for the whole front folding open it just looks flimsy and like it'll break/scratch.
@@harryberry474 yeah wish they made it more sturdy like the Sony X800M2 but with all the features this has. After all the Pana is $200 more than the Sony but the 820 has DV and the other 3 formats (HDR, HDR10+ and HLG) and the Sony does not have DV (go figure)!. They would definitely compete with all the Oppo lovers out there if it had better build quality and asthetics
When you want to watch 1080p blu-ray movie, change resolution at 1080, do not set at 4k. Because picture will lose sharpness and will be more bllury. Upscaling is bad thing. If you dont believe me More here: www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00151969 or do some test your own. Try 1080 and try 4k and you will see differences.
So here’s a question for the optimum hdr adjustment setting does that have to be turned on every time you put a disc in or does it stay selected permanently? Got a 820 coming in hopefully this week so this really helped
Hiya. It only needs to be set once and it will be on all the time.

My other Panasonic player is a refurbished one and unfortunately does not play the 4k discs. So my new order is a new in the box model I ordered through Best Buy. Not buying refurbished electronics any more. However I was able to set the old player to the (4K/60 4:4:4) setting and was amazed how much that improved the picture quality. Even on DVD's. Again thanks for the helpful set up video. @@DavidSusiloUnscripted

Thank you for this video, it was so helpful, bought my UB820 in early december and I am now just getting round to properly setting it up to watch a proper 4K movie. I wanted the first 4K movie I watched to be my all time favourite The Fast and the Furious, I have it on DVD and watched it like 20 times but wasnt the best quality so wanted to upgrade. Just set the player up with these settings and started the movie, looks 10 times better. The movie has some longer scenes. Anyway if anyone happens to read this, treat yourself to 1 of these players. Expensive buy, but well worth it.

That movie sucks

@@mohamedalkaboom So does your opinion
I'm using an Epson 2250 projector (2700 lumens, 1080P resolution).
When playing a 4k movie, which Panasonic (ub420) setting do you think would look better:
1. Panasonic set to 1080P output (let the Panasonic process the picture)
2. Panasonic set to 4k (4:4:4) output (the Epson would have to downconvert the 4k to 1080P).
I would think the first option looks the best.
That is correct. For 1080p application, just set the Panasonic to 1080p and leave everything to auto. Thanks for commenting. Please like and subscribe if you have the chance,
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted epson process not good enough? What the difference ?
@@aamarrahman8631 try it out and see it for yourself.

Thanks for sharing, just bought the ub820 and this will help greatly!!!

Thanks for the video. One mistake, if you set the Color Mode to YCbCR (4:4:4), then HDR movies play in SDR. I would just leave it at the default of YCbCr (Auto).
Thanks for mentioning this, I couldn’t figure out why it was displaying SDR on my 4K blurays
Why is that?
I don’t seem to have this issue? I still show HDR and not SDR if I tap playback info while watching 4K.
@@brandonmartinez5939 That’s good that means it’s working correctly. For some reason I was experiencing the same issue mentioned by the person who posted the correction.
Switch to auto! 4:2:2 is the correct setting for 4K films and 4:4:4 is best for blurays, so select auto and your player will switch automatically to the correct setting. Also, turn off deep color if you’re watching 4K films. It’s a bluray setting and it makes 4K films look slightly hazy
Hi David, I tried your setting but I have adjusted 24p Output to “Off” as this setting defaults output to 24p to match with source content and I find that I get an audio delay when I don’t output at 60p. I also find that with above set, when I adjust the color mode from YCbCr (Auto) to YCbCr (4:4:4) then the player outputs in SDR instead of HDR.
Which TV are you using? Some TV/Receiver/display combo can have that problem. As for SDR problem, just skip the first thing I mentioned in the video and you should be fine.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Thanks for your reply. I am using TCL C835 (2022 Model) with a Marantz SR7015 connected with HDMI 2.1 Fibre optic at both ends.

Thank you for watching. Kindly subscribe to my channel and other videos if you can.
Can you do a video about the actual VIDEO settings when a 4K disc is playing? Like recommended settings for all options? Chroma level, Edge enhancement, sharpness, etc.? That would be wonderful 😊
I can but I can’t recommend any settings because depending on the Tv you use, screen size, viewing distance, lighting condition, those values are all over the place
@DavidSusiloUnscripted sounds good. I have a 65 inch Sony A95K.
I was just thinking of just a video overall that breaks down those specific settings, as well as the overall pros and cons, regardless of your TV type 👍
@hoapat4247 so for clarification, what is the setting 4:4:4 for then? When should it be used?
@johnnieboy66 I have to remove hoapat’s half-truth misinformation.
1. The disc is in 4:2:0 BUT this player’s ability to do chroma upsampling is one of the reasons this player won many awards. Yes the TV will upsample the 4:2:0 to 4:4:4 BUT more often than not, the 4:2:0 to 4:4:4 chroma upsampling is done BEST by the 420/820/9000
2. Using HDMI 2.1 for this player is NOT going to improve anything. The maximum bitrate of this player (and AppleTV 4K) is at 17.8 gbps. Using either an 18gbps cable or 48gbps cable is not going to change the quality at all.
Followed it step by step and worked like a charm! Thank you!!

Great video David, thx. Question: sadly I dont have a jvc projector, however I could get a great out of the box deal on a sony xw-5000es. A luxury problem as it’s also great in certain aspects. Should the HDR tv settings always be put to projector, no matter what projector you are using?
Thx again!
You still need to use projector preset for the HDR Optimizer regardless of the projector.
Thank you for watching and do ask any questions if you have any. Just tag me.
Please watch my other crappy video for shi+ and giggles. 😅

Haha, will do👍 Thx for your reply, much appreciated
A new subscriber here. Thank you for the informative video.
LG C9, and Panasonic DP-UB820.
I was able to set up the Optimizer setting to On using the Options button. However, even if the Panasonic DP-UB820 is playing an HDR movie, (Blade Runner 2049) pushing the HDR Settings button displays a warning: This function is valid only for HDR video output. Interestingly, pushing the Info button displays HDMI Out SDR/BT.709. Oposite, pushing the Playback Info button twice, shows the right HDR primary mastering metadata for BT (PQ) 2020/P3D65, including full chromaticity info. The HDMI cable is Premium 18 Gbs. Any comment will be appreciated.
Merci beaucoup pour cette video et ces conseils, je viens tout juste de commander un UB 9000, cela me sera très utile. Encore merci à vous.
Thankyou very very much, much appreciated 😊 i take it i alter the hdr optimisation whrn i play a non dolby vision film 😎
That is correct! Thank you for watching. Kindly subscribe if you don’t mind.
I ordered myself a DP-UB820EB-K today as an early present for the holidays, and once it arrives I will definitely be changing the settings as you suggest.
Thank you.
Depending on your TV you may or may not need to skip the first step of my instructions.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Thanks for the reply and information. I’ve an LG C2 ATM.
Where have you been all my life! My pictures Is so good now

Hi David, thx 4 your videos, in particular the Panasonic UB820, of which I am in the process of reviewing and maybe purchasing as a well rounded UHD4K player that can do the latest formats.
I am in the process of house renovations and the living room is where I mostly watch media such as movies, streaming, etc for the latest entertainment.
As part of the reno is to purchase an LG G2 OLED, new theatre receiver, sub and all the rest of that stuff however the UHD player is another item on the list as I don't live just to live stream.
One feature that it seems not talked about for the Pana 820 is the Network caperbilities and usefulness.
My setup is Cat 6 Ethernet using the appropiate cables, Switches and Routers for DLNA file playback whereby my WIN10 PC is a DLNA Server and other devices are DLNA Clients.
I wish to to potentially utilise the Panasonic UB820 that has networking Ethernet (and WiFi) caperbilities and I have read the Pana Specifications that look great in black and white however in practice may NOT live up to at least my current setup that works very good for HD, UHD content albeit compressed audio in 5.1 channels. My SAMSUNG JS9000 TV is now 7+yrs old however can play large file sizes with 4K content via DLNA network without jutter or buffering which is not bad for an old hardware setup.
I would not want to lose my current DLNA caperbilities as this is much more convenient than using HDD via USB ports.
Yes I do have plenty of UHD and BR discs in my library and I know utilimatily this is the best medium for video/audio entertainment experience.
I plan to continue use to play my discs on a UHD player however DLNA network caperbilities is a winner in my view and gives one options.
The Pana820 it seems is a great disc player, yeah the UI is clunky however I can live with this.
Your thoughts are appreciated and I hope that you may have some info regarding the Pana820 and networking.
Usually if a device cannot support various media formats by USB then the network will also fail.
thx again.
The network capabilities of these units are simply sad. It is very abysmal and not worth using at all, IMHO.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing this valuable information!
Thank you for watching and subscribing!!
Thanks for the help was only seeing 1080P Now Dolby Vision 4K!
Thanks very much for this David. I got my Panasonic 820 yesterday.
Congrats !!!
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted If you wouldn't mind, I have a question. Playing a 4k disc, I can't use the HDR optimiser.
@@MahlerHolic1860 which TV do you have? LG? If so you need to NOT set it to 4:4:4 (use 4:2:2 or 4:2:0). Some TVs just can’t deal with 4:4:4 input.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted I have a Sony 55XF9005
@@MahlerHolic1860 That’s the older Sony. I have the exact same model. I also can’t use 4:4:4 for that TV. Also for HDR Optimizer use “medium luminance LCD” preset
I have the Sony A95L QD-OLED will these setting work ?
Definitely. Just skip the first 4:4:4 and use 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 or auto.
