Just taken possession of a panasonic UB900 4k player Had it on 20 mins ..... impressed so far. Just wondering if any lucky people have bought one ?
 
Well I've got 4 so far.

Mad max fury road
San Andreas
Expendables 3
X-men days of future past

And omg the star wars blu ray looks good on it
 
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 ?
 
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 :)
 
Silly question ... have you accidently pushed the sound clarity button on the remote ? That can knock the picture off.
 
Not much of a hassle to let it update itself.

Independence Day on it's way!

ID on way as well .... Just waiing on The revenant and deadpool now as a double order from rainforest :cool:

Although rainforest france has a some interesting pre-orders not available here
 
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 ?
 
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.

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.
 
(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.
 
For instance Star Trek Beyond UHD in the US is meant to be out 20th Sept but UK release is not till Jan 2017.

Uk release has been updated to 21st November :D
