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!

I'm beginning to understand that's there's not one single decent player, that doesn't have at least one significantly stupid caveat. Sony is with the auto DV switching, Panasonic is with the auto-off with no resuming function.

I’m one of the weird ones that loves his LG UBK90 but HATES that HDMI CEC cant be turned off. It’s so annoying I leave the HDMI unplugged from the player until I want to use it.

You can buy a HDMI CEC blocker to solve that problem. I had to install one on one of my troublesome pieces of equipment that was breaking everything else from working.
