Does the DP-UB420 support Dolby Vision?

No. It handles HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG only. Dolby Vision discs play in HDR10 instead. The UB820 is the Panasonic model with Dolby Vision.

How is it different from the UB820?

The UB820 adds Dolby Vision, a better HDR optimizer for projectors and analog audio outputs. The UB420 keeps the same HCX processing and HDR10+ support for less.

Can I use it with an older receiver?

Yes, through the second HDMI output, which carries audio only. There are no analog RCA outputs, so a receiver without HDMI cannot take its audio.

What audio formats does it play?

It plays DSD up to 11.2 MHz, FLAC, ALAC, WAV and other common high-resolution formats from disc or USB, through a 192 kHz/32-bit DAC.

Does it upscale regular Blu-rays to 4K?

Yes. The 4K High-Precision Chroma Processor upscales 1080p discs and converts 4:2:0 color to 4:4:4.
