Panasonic DP-UB820 4K Blu-ray Player: Upgrading a 2012 Home Theater - Part 11b

This video series covers upgrading a 2012 era Home Theater system to the latest 4k OLED TV and Dolby Atmos Surround Sound.

Part 11b (in 4K!) covers:
1) Connecting and configuring the Panasonic DP-UB820 4K Blu-ray Player.
2) Testing to make sure we're getting 4K DolbyVision video and DolbyAtmos True-HD sound.

The Xbox Series X Blu-ray player app has proven to be a disappointment. It doesn't support DolbyVision and can't (at least for now) output true-black.

The Panasonic DP-UB820 supports DolbyVision, can output true-black, and is superior in upscaling older discs.

Since I spend a lot of time watching movies from my Netflix DVD account, it's important to have the best possible video quality. I'd hoped the Xbox Series X would fulfill those requirements, but it just wasn't cutting it.

My 2012 home theater had a Sony 34" KD-34XBR970 high-definition TV, a Denon AVR-2807 7.1 receiver, and Onyko SKS-HT540 7.1 speakers.

The upgraded system consists of:
