For premium Blu-ray players.

Panasonic has announced a new partnership with Victorian based company, Interdyn, to distribute its premium Blu-ray players to selected specialist AV retailers and integrators in Australia. Interdyn will commence distribution of the Panasonic DP-UB820 UHD Blu-ray player, as well as the award winning flagship DP-UB9000 UHD Blu-ray player in late 2018.

After supporting the now discontinued Oppo Digital Blu-ray player range for many years in Australia and New Zealand, Interdyn is well positioned to help bring Panasonic’s premium 4K players to the market, while also offering existing Interdyn customers a new product choice.

Panasonic Australia managing director, Paul Reid is confident the new relationship will benefit all parties.

“Panasonic warmly welcomes Interdyn to our lineup of partners, as they bring our latest premium Blu-ray offerings to discerning Australian customers. Interdyn has proven expertise in the distribution of products in this segment and a strong network of both AV specialist retailers and integrators. We’re confident that our new premium 4K Blu-ray players are in the best hands,” he said.

Interdyn director, Evgeny Vizelman said it is Interdyn’s focus to cater to the needs of its retailer and integrator networks. “With the closure of Oppo Digital we are excited to be able to bring our customers a new generation of Blu-ray players from a world class brand. We’re looking forward to working closely with Panasonic to ensure both their players are strongly established in the Australian specialist market.”

Existing Interdyn customers with access to the Oppo Digital Blu-ray player range will automatically receive access to the Panasonic range of premium Blu-ray players. Other Interdyn customers can contact their representative to discuss becoming a Panasonic reseller.

Initial stock is expected in December 2018 with confirmation of wholesale pricing and exact timelines to be announced closer to this date.
