Overview
Panasonic's reference class player reads ultra HD Blu-ray, DVD and CD, and its HCR processor prepares HDR images before they reach the TV. A rigid alumite-treated aluminum chassis forms the body, and the player also streams ultra HD video from Netflix, YouTube and Prime.
Buy it for disc playback driven by a dedicated HDR processor inside a rigid, THX certified chassis, with the main streaming services built in. It is large and heavy for a source component, so measure the shelf before ordering.
Who it's for
Collectors who watch from disc on a large HDR screen get processing and build aimed at serious home theaters. A casual viewer with a shallow media shelf, or one who only streams, will find it oversized.
Pros and cons
- HDR10+ and Dolby Vision playback
- HCR processor for HDR images
- Rigid alumite-treated aluminum chassis
- Streams Netflix, YouTube and Prime
- Warranty term not listed
- Heavy chassis needs a sturdy shelf
- Deep footprint for a disc player
Performance notes
Picture results hinge on the HCR processor, which handles HDR before the signal reaches the display, and on how much HDR the TV itself supports. The alumite-treated aluminum chassis is designed for high rigidity, and sound runs through HDMI or the RCA connections in stereo or surround modes.
