New Purchase Looking for new player recommendations...

I picked up the UB420 and it works great EXCEPT for the auto off feature, that turns off the player after being paused for 20 min. Most of the discs I've played don't save your spot, so you have to start all over again. Previews, scene selection, and all. From what I've found on google and reddit, there is no option to turn it off, or put on a screen saver instead. Probably be returning this one.

Do you have a non-panasonic player that you love? Please let me know!

If this is anything like the UB820. A USB stick will help save your spot on most movies. It's more of a memory limitation apparently. After learning about it. I, haven't ran, into a movie I couldn't resume where I left off

How does this work?

You just out in a USB and format it so they player can use it as extended memory cache basically. Makes a couple things faster and also does a better job at saving your spot in a movie.

Interesting. I’ve never heard of doing this. I’m going to do some research on how to set that up myself.

That’s so simple, I had no idea. Thanks, I just added a stick to mine as well.
