If you haven’t already, check for an update. Version 1.69 has been released on the Panasonic website for updating by USB. I’m out of town for work , so I’m not sure if it is available over the air yet. Yes, it is available OTA, but you might have to instruct the player to look for an update. I did my UB9000 last night and had no problems updating from the manually installed "Chinese" (1.66) firmware. The only item noted in the changelog is " Playability of Blu-ray Discs" which seems to be true. Nothing else seems different. However, the notorious issues with triple-layer discs like "Midway" and "Knives Out" have been fixed. Those two discs now play fine (using Dolby Vision) for me. I do still find it sad that it took Panasonic two years to release a firmware update (pandemic or not), but still happy that they've finally gotten around to supporting their "flagship" players...  |

Thanks for verifying OTA, I’ll update my 820 when I’m back home this weekend. |
