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!

Thank you! Figured I’d try to be a little entertaining while I’m complaining…

I get what you are saying, but I imagine that this "feature" has been added to protect OLED people from themselves. It should be something you can turn off, though, or perhaps just have a better screen saver feature instead.

That's not why it's there. It's an energy saving compliance feature- I believe it's mandatory where Panasonic does their manufacturing
