I recognize that this video was posted almost 2 years ago but I thought I would add some thoughts since I just bought the 9000. I have a JVC X790R 4k pixel shifting projector. I had the Panasonic dp-ub820 and I moved that to pair with my Sony Z9D. I was not expecting much of a change because both players have the same video processing chip set but wow I was wrong. The audio quality differences during movie playback are astounding! Now I did expect some improvement in sound quality but the player far exceeded my expectations in that regard. But the video quality truly blew me away - the extra ability to adjust the HDR roll off by selecting the basic luminance projector made a huge difference - far more than I expected! And on the other side the 820 does a fabulous job in the room with the Z9D. I hope these observations help someone.

Hard to believe this player was made that long ago and now LG has exited the market Crazy

Just incase nobody else mentioned this in the comments for you. You do actually get quite a comprehensive start up guide/paperwork with the player. 👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent video SC, and what an amazing player! I just received it and hooked it up yesterday, and what a picture! I am using this amazing player paired with the equally incomparable LG C9 77 inch OLED TV which is a perfect marriage. I formally had the Pioneer Elite Kuro TV and have been using the equally great Panasonic VT-60 as my everyday TV for a few years now so as you can see, picture quality is my No. 1 priority. So far I've only had the chance to see one 4K Blu-ray (The "Shape of Water") and the immersiveness and color accuracy between player and television was (to me) the best I've ever seen. I may never leave my basement again!!!

Had this one for over a year now. It was an upgrade from a Sony 4k player at around $250 ( which was actually pretty impressive) . There was a very noticeable difference in both picture quality and audio. I personally enjoy the audio upgrade more. It's more detailed and seems to hit a little harder. Currently connected to a Marantz SR8015 and a Sony XR950H LED.
Great reviews from this guy! 👌

Great review. I'm an anamorphic lens user with a scope screen and I recently purchased the Panasonic UB9000. I use the stretch mode through my projector, so not having the stretch mode function on the Panasonic UB9000 is not a problem.

Amazing. No plasticky stuff like Sony and Samsung. An actual display. Respect for us, consumers. Gonna give Panasonic a try this year. They seem so careful about their products. Even the TVs are beautiful.

7:50 - That's weird. On Netflix, both Atmos & Vision works but on Prime, only Vision works, not Atmos? Jack Ryan is supposed to be in Atmos & Vision. I watch it with Atmos activated on my Roku Ultra.

Shane, excellent work! I watched your entire video and paused several times to confirm the setup selections on my new UB9000. My Panasonic player is connected to my LG C1 OLED via top-of-the-line Ultra HDMI cables, all routed through a newly acquired high-end Onkyo Receiver. The UHD-HDR discs are delivering the stunning visuals I anticipated. However, when it comes to standard Blu-rays, I've stumbled upon a peculiar combination of settings that's producing exceptional results, leaving me both impressed and puzzled. Following your instructions precisely, my UB9000 is configured accordingly. Here is the rub, while upscaling "Lord of the Rings" from a 1080p Blu-ray, with the player's picture mode set to "Fine Cinema" and my LG C1's picture mode set to "OLED Care Comfort, " the result is an astonishingly clear, finely detailed image that rivals the clarity of 4K. It's a tiny bit on the blue side, but amazing. My research says that I shouldn't be combining picture modes in this way, but wow. Do you have any thoughts on this? Anything to share that might help me travel this rabbit hole?

I wonder when this player was actually released? Wondering if they are likely to release an updated model any time soon?

I just received my Panasonic DP-UB9000EG1 and noticed that the main on/off button does not have any LED light, neither when it's on, nor when it's off. Is this how it must be?

All other Blu-ray players I own do have LED lights on their on/off main switch buttons, when on and/or when off.



Acabo de recibir mi Panasonic DP-UB9000EG1 y he notado que el botón principal de encendido/apagado no tiene ninguna luz LED, ni cuando está encendido ni cuando está apagado. ¿Es así como debe ser?

Todos los demás reproductores Blu-ray que tengo tienen luces LED en los botones del interruptor principal de encendido/apagado, cuando están encendidos y/o apagados.

I moved from the 820 to the 9000 as I wanted the most reliable player. I picked up some stories that the 820 can suffer from skipping. I have picked up very little negative about the 9000. It is a fantastic player the video and audio are first rate.

[Zoranurai]

You can also get the lower models while keeping most of the quality and features, for around 300 you can get basically the same player without the analog audio and the fancy chassis.

[aaronwilson]

The ub 9000 is awesome. I have it connected to my LG CX 65" with LG SN11RG 7.1.4 sound bar system with Dolby Atmos and DTS-X and the ub 9000 decoded all the audio in the 4k blue ray movies. Im using 2 Monster 2.1 cobalt HDMI cords. The UB-9000 is nice.

[Hamza-yuur]

Was waiting for this review! I'm happy with my UB 820 though. Just wish it had the build quality the 9000 has

[michaelfoster]

That stretch feature that oppo has is awesome I will be keeping my oppo

[techcode_man]

Best 9000 review I have seen so far in youtube!

[johnbruce]

Is there any difference between this player and the 820 over HDMI?

[hexmaster]

does the ub9000 encode all sounds like dolby digital plus and dts like the oppo or i need a receiver ?

[PoleDancer]

Question: can I hook this up to my a/v receiver that does not support DV, but does support Atmos, and still get DV on my Sony OLED?
