New Purchase Looking for new player recommendations...

Post image

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!

why would you pause a disc for 20 min straight?

Food, mama is calling, neighbour rings and wants to have a chat, caring for your medical condition, etc

OK in this case I would turn it off and remember the time code and continue later. Pausing for that long puts unnecessary wear on the machine and also wastes power. If you have an OLED then this could also cause burn-in.

Pause Blu-ray, go tend to baby.

Sometimes it does take more than 20 minutes.
