Bluray player update panasonic

If this is an issue for you, try disabling Dolby Vision in the player's settings. Some general Dolby Vison info is here. I don't know if it matters, but my UB had firmware 1. Earlier comments follow. I wish those posting reports included the player's firmware version, but none did. Those updates are included in our Player firmware updates listing. Cleaning the 4K disc with isopropyl alcohol. A restock with a minor dent that I flatted out with a spoon from the inside surface.

When first released, I bought the standard 4K package instead. After a friend said he finally opened his 4K Quiet Place Best Buy steelbook bought years ago and the spotless he said 4K disc froze around the 4 minute mark, I had to try the 4K disc from my steelbook. Normally these problems are not typical, and I had played my standard package 4K disc OK. I used my Sony X with firmware M Froze at the point where you're seeing the outside of the store at the start of the movie.

I had to pull the Sony X's power cord, as it wasn't responding to the remote or the player buttons. Wiped it off with a new micro-fiber cloth. A used cloth sometimes retains debris that can scratch a disc. After having such good luck with 4K discs in the UB, I'd gotten out of the habit of cleaning 4K discs lately. In the past I've used Dawn liquid soap, this time I used isopropyl alcohol.

Some 4K discs seem to have some sort of invisible film, either from the original disc mfr, or transferred from the oily residue on many plastic disc cases. I assume this residue is either a case manufacturing mold release, or the plastic is outgassing. Some HD DVD cases were a different type of plastic inside surface was matte, not glossy , and stayed dry.

And in late Aug. Details are in the links. I wish the Subtitle Luminance setting was persistent, but it resets to default after every power off. It also supports 3D, and has a "Pop Out Level" adjustment 0 default, to 4 max. See below for other player video and audio option settings , including screenshots.

I've not tested again with new firmware 1. My "Mummy Returns" 4K disc has major scratches , with 2 long scratches across almost the entire disc. Many complaints on scratched discs from the 4K Mummy Trilogy's cardboard sleeve packaging. This is why I avoid cardboard sleeve packaging, especially with 4K discs.

That 4K scratched disc is so far the only one I've had a problem with in the UB I don't use streaming, apps or any file playback via USB. It's not backlit, but few OEM remotes are anymore. The UB's remote has a Subtitle button, and is backlit. After a year of use, I've worn off the remote's label for the Status button. Sony shows that info and more with 1 press of their Display button. I think Sony did a much better job with their compact remotes. Their Subtitle button enables the primary subtitle with 1 press; repeat presses cycle through all options including Off.

I'm in the minority that doesn't care for Harmony remotes. I've not put any unbalanced discs in it however. I replaced a 'Flight of the Phoenix' blu-ray that sounded like a buzz-saw in every player. Completely open area against a wall, not placed in a rack. I think heat can sometimes be a factor in UHD player problems. I've never heard the fan during use personally, but I have seen a post from one owner that reported freezes and said the fan spun up to very high speeds.

The optimizer does a better job at those settings in my experience. You can adjust HDR brightness, dynamic range, black level, etc. See info below on Deep Color Priority setting. If the 4K 60Hz test screen appears, it passed. Some displays may have banding with 12 bit, or may prefer to do the Chroma upscaling in the TV instead of the player doing the conversion.

HDMI 2. Below is a screen capture of my HDMI settings. If "Off" is selected, sound is played over the original number of channels. Note that in the case of 6. Can I download the latest firware and write a CD to use on my machine? Any ideas to solve this problem? I was able to complete all the steps you listed on my own, and it worked fine. The Pandora ap downloaded along with several others including Amazon instant video.

However, the firmware update did not include Netflix. My blu ray is several years old. Is Netflix incompatible with some blu rays? I rechecked for more firmware updates, but it says I have the most recent update. Is there another way to download it? It actually says the Firmware Download has stopped. No reason. I have done this about 10 times and get the same error. Any help would be appreciated. This works, but I consistently get an error message saying it has stopped and will now restart.

Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this? Is it better to do it through a wired internet connection? Thank you! I have been trying to figure this out for months. Your instructions worked perfectly even though I have a different model. Your email address will not be published. July 24, at pm. July 23, at am. Julie Churchouse says:. May 24, at am. Penny says:.
