Panasonic Stereo Cassette Player RQ-JA63. The first portable audio player available to the general public, the Sony Walkman, was introduced in 1979 and sold very well.It was much smaller than an 8-track player or the earlier cassette recorders, and was listened to with stereophonic headphones, unlike previous equipment which used small loudspeakers.
UB820 is one of the first players to support the HDR10+ format (along with UB320, UB420 and UB9000) and the first player to offer onboard tone mapping for high dynamic range (HDR) and standard dynamic range (SDR) playback. Compared to the Panasonic's previous higher-end UB900 model, UB820 lacks touch-sensitive controls and THX certification.
