Question 1

the panasonic dp-ub9000 hdr 4k uhd blu-ray player which you sale, is bd zone free abc y dvd zone free 012345678, or is only bd zone a and dvd zone 1?

Accepted Answer

It is set to Blu-ray zone A and DVD region 1.  Says so on the box.  I just tonight bought a DP-UB820 from a local USA big name retailer.  They were gracious enough to let me test a Doctor Who region free 50i Blu-ray purchased from the UK in the player to make sure it played.  That sold me.  Getting it home, it would not play R2 DVDs at all (gives a region error) and would just stop playing zone B Blu-rays.  These were the Studio Canal Blu-rays of Dr. Who and the Daleks and Dalek Invassion Earth 2150 AF.

After reading C Jay's post, I tried his hack on the Dalek Blu-rays and it worked with one modification.  In their case, I waited for the front display to show "STOP".  Then in pressed "Top Menu" twice like he said and, in a few seconds, the front menu screen appeared.  The hack did not work for the R2 DVDs after trying several variations of C Jay hack.

But, you know how you sometimes have to sit through many screens of annoying logos until the main menu appears?  C Jay's hack works for that on region A Blu-rays!  Simply let the first screen appear and press stop and let the disc stop spinning.  Then press "Top Menu" twice and after a few seconds, the main menu appears!!!

Question 2

Does this play sacd discs?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not.

Question 3

Can this play dvd-a or dvd-audio discs?

Accepted Answer

DVD-Audio discs should have Dolby tracks that are playable on nearly all DVD-Video players. The "nearly" is probably included in claims in case a Beavis-and-Butthead-managed factory sets up shop. It's the Meridian Lossless Packing that's playable on high-end players.

Some discs also have DTS tracks.

I would be very surprised if they don't play at all. They may not sound much better than 5.1-channel, 16-bit with 48-kHz sampling, but they should play.

If one of you finds that they don't, please let me know.
