Wich other players did you compare to, and what parameters ?A bold statement but as a fellow owner i have to disagree
Im strictly speaking about objectiv evaluation that can be confirmed and documented.

Thanks man.......a few other responses in other threads for other machines recon it should be straight back to Panny with it. Will do the factory reset and see if that works and go from there.You probably don't want to hear this, but I've never experience any problems at all in the 4 months I've had mine. Not one glitch. It shouldn't be doing it.

It doesn't support HD soundtracks from mkv at all (True HD/Atmos, DTS-HD/DTS-X).Hi all,
I have a nice 4K HDR DLNA Samsung TV able to read everything from my DLNA NAS BUT not able to forward atmos signal to the soundbar, and an atmos soundbar not able to forward HDR signal to the TV … so it's either good image either good sound... 8-(I've read many of this topic posts (not all) but did not get 100% confirmation it will fulfill my simple needs: As I'd use this beautiful BD player mainly for DLNA streaming, would someone be so kind to confirm it works well to read MKVs 4K HDR with Atmos audio (using the 2 HMDIs outputs to TV and soundbar) please?
Any general feedback on the streaming experience also welcome!
Thx!
How about lossless audio streams placed within the .m2ts container?It doesn't support HD soundtracks from mkv at all (True HD/Atmos, DTS-HD/DTS-X).
I have reviewed (and own) both, and as far as I'm aware the only difference between the two is that the UB9000 has High and Basic Luminance Projector Optimiser settings, while the UB820 only has High. In all other respects the video performance is identical. If you've got the budget, I'd go for the UB9000 because the superior build quality makes it quieter. However if you can't afford it, the UB820 is superb value for money.I am wanting to upgrade from my Sony UBP-X700. I use a JVC X7900 so I know the Panny will improve my 4K HDR image. Does anyone know if the 4K HDR video processing/ image of the 9000 is any better visually, than the 820? Especially if using it with a low/ basic luminescence display like the JVC X7900? I would not need anything else the 9000 offers, but do like the better build quality and look.
Kind thanks

Exactly what is required for THX certification is a closely guarded secret, but I wouldn't put too much stock in it. For example the Oppo players aren't THX certified, but that's only because Oppo weren't prepared to pay for it. I'm sure the UB820 could be certified by THX, but I suspect Panasonic didn't want to pay to get it certified. It also gives the UB9000 a marketing edge.What does the THX bearing of the 9000 benefit from, though? Is it just sound via analogue connections? Or, very minor video and or audio improvements?
THX has ment just around nothing for the last 20 years or so, Often you will find that THX products fails simple basic tests, and non THX products pass it all perfectly.What does the THX bearing of the 9000 benefit from, though?

Players read discs from the inside out to start with. So the disc rotates faster compared to when they are reading the outer tracks. Faster rotation = more air disturbance = more noise.Does anyone know why UHD players are always louder during the first chapter of a disc? The noise gradually decreases, at around chapter 3 I can barely hear it. And is this normal for the UB9000? My Sony UBP X-700 was the same I think, but I think my UB9000 is a little louder, a higher frequency.
BR2049 the 2nd to 3rd layer change takes place in scenes with not a lot of soundtrack and so may be noticeable.
Add to all of that mix, not perfectly flat discs in some cases. Warped discs will produce much more noise.
@fallinlight
I have never fast forwarded or reversed my discs so cant comment but
I would say that you are along the right lines
try the new cables if that doesn't fix it then changing the disc is definitely worth a try
The first UB820 I had was very noisey at the 2nd to 3rd layer change on BR2049. I returned the player for that reason due to noise issues. My 2nd and 3rd UB820s are quiet during the scenes around the layer change with BR2049 (as is my X700).I use that disc a lot for tests, one of my main references. Never noticed! I think my X700 was perhaps a little quieter than my UB9000.
