Panasonic DP-UB450 (2018)

The European sibling of the DP-UB420, this 4K UHD Blu-ray player uses dual HDMI outputs to keep audio and video on separate paths: a main HDMI 2.0 port pushes 4K/60p 4:4:4 HDR (HDR10+ and Dolby Vision), while a second HDMI 1.4 port sends audio alone to an AV receiver. The key wiring difference versus the US model is its digital audio output, which here is a coaxial (RCA) S/PDIF jack rather than optical. A single USB 2.0 port handles media and a 10/100 Ethernet jack provides wired networking.

European 4K UHD Blu-ray player with dual HDMI (2.0 + 1.4 audio-only), coaxial digital out, one USB 2.0 port, and 10/100 Ethernet.
