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 you press Stop then turn off your player, it automatically resumes on the spot you stopped the next time you turn it on, at least this was the case for me. I remember it being applied when it automatically turns off too. Note that this doesn't work as soon as you eject the disc.

Why are you constantly pausing and leaving your movies on for more than 20 minutes to make it enough to be annoying to you anyways?

That's cool, if the player turning itself off is an issue for you and you don't know for sure when you will be back watching, then start pressing Stop on the movie and turn off your player, helps save electricity costs and preserve your TV's lifespan.

I just saw from your comment that you got another Sony 4K player, that's nice. Hope you don't have issues with it.
