San Andreas... really is that worth actually paying money for?

It comes free with the player. As does mad max

TALON1973 · 22 Apr 2016 at 18:23

Well I've seen some 4k discs in hmv. Found them completly by accident. Only 1 row of them.

TALON1973 · 26 Apr 2016 at 17:27

I havent noticed anything wrong with the machine as of yet. But I am using it in 2 channel mode.

i got the panny yesterday having allot of problems with it, direct into my 4k tx65ax800e tv no picture just black screen, via my amp i get a picture ok yamaha avr rx 673 amp but with speckles all over it and flashing pixels, it plays a 1080p disc ok soon as i play uhd no picture, so i bought a new amp which i get today and will try it. rang panasonic and got how you factory reset it , power off hold the 2 right side coloured buttons down press right then hold ok but does not help.

cannot understand why direct i get black screen but via my av amp it semi works

Are you using the supplied hdmi cable ?

TALON1973 · 27 Apr 2016 at 18:25

I will say one thing about the player on a design standpoint . Its smaller than youd expect. So if you like stacking equipment on top of each other this will have to be at the top

TALON1973 · 30 Apr 2016 at 12:31

Silly question ... have you accidently pushed the sound clarity button on the remote ? That can knock the picture off.

I'm still on 1.03 ... got no issues as I use a stereo headphone setup ... is it worth the hassle updating ?

Pressing two buttons is too much I say, best just stay where you are.

I know how updates work lol. I'm more concerned of breaking something I have no problem with atm

TALON1973 · 14 Jun 2016 at 18:54

As a panny buyer i'm slightly miffed / happy at the same time that ms can put out a game console with 4k at that 250 price . Begs the question was Panasonic taking the **** on pricing ? Will be interesting to see if any compromises have been made to get that low price. Or are they prepared to take a short turn hit as they think 4k will go massive ?

So, any reviews of the Xbox yet which focus on its abilities as a disc player?

All the ones I've seen thus far are reviewing it as a console and just mention the Bluray abilities as an aside. Keen to know how it compares to standalone players.

And........ welcome to 1997/1998 and dvd . Pay top £ and no discs lol. I had a panny a100 in 1998 and my town had about 15 discs . Online orders from the USA.

TALON1973 · 11 Aug 2016 at 23:28

Regional coding on dvd when it first came out was due to films in the cinema being delayed in countries. It could be 4 -6 months from a usa film showing in Europe.

TALON1973 · 16 Aug 2016 at 22:10

I'm waiting on ghostbusters. Got a preorder for all 3 @ £39.99

(with ub900 I would like to know how/if you can control multi-channel audio mixing down for the two channel analog audio output, if you wanted to drive a 2 channel hifi)

I'll check my settings later . I use the 2 channel output myself as I use headphones . Can't remember if I've adjusted anything as it works great as it is for me.
