Overview
An HCX processor and a high precision chroma stage inside this Panasonic player rebuild color detail from Ultra HD discs before sending it to the TV. Twin HDMI outputs split video and audio for cleaner sound through an AV receiver.
Twin isolated HDMI outputs and a dedicated audio DAC give music and movie sound extra care, unusual at this level. HDR support covers dynamic metadata HDR and HLG, but Dolby Vision is not listed.
Who it's for
Disc collectors and hi-res music listeners who want physical media quality. Viewers who stream everything may not need a disc player at all.
Pros and cons
- Careful chroma processing
- Separate audio HDMI output
- Hi-res music file playback
- Built in streaming apps
- No Dolby Vision listed
- Two channel analog audio only
- Region details not listed
Performance notes
Picture detail benefits from chroma interpolation, which fills in color resolution that discs store at reduced levels. HDR processing adapts the image to the TV's capabilities. Separating audio onto its own HDMI output lowers interference for receiver playback.
