So  the firmware modification to region free  is not overwritten/disbled  by subsequent normal updates relesased by Magnetar though the newtwork?

In the future check those video discs before the return window. I find CDs and SACDs rarely give issues but DVDs, BRs and 4k's are a roll of the dice.  What's most annoying is when a disc fail...

@Thomas Mathes With the latest update I think they fixed the prompt thing. i have it disabled and it never showed up again :)

I have tried several times with my LG OLED, and I know the 4.4.4 setting on that device is mainly for PC integration, but using 4.4.4 with my Maggie is a MUCH BETTER viewing experience than it is w...

@Howard Maduro ... mine is the same, you just need to be a little agressive with it initially. it will open.

Hello, I just wanted to share some observations regarding playing "All Region Blu-Ray Discs" on myMagnetar UDP900; firmware ver1016.  I noticed more often than not, it will need several trie...

Yeah I had movies freezing on the credits , and unfortunetely I couldn t returned them 

One other item but this only works when the disc is new: Make sure to play the disc from beginning to end, including any extra features, soon after you buy the disc.  If something is off, you...

Thank you for that detailed explanation, I really don't remember what are the settings I'm using for CEC. I'll check it for sure. Thanks :)

That's quite interesting, I didn't have the BD live option turned off for long once I found that idiotic annoyance.  I never got any chances to see if it improved skipping. I also found many ...

Yeah. I don't know if it is placebo or not, but when I deactivated bd live I had less problems with freezing and skipping in movies. But the prompt is annoying, not as annoying as a movie freezing ...

@cheeseholidays I'm wondering if cleaning on the top side resulted better clamping of the disc in the drive?  Meaning the disc was slipping some in the drive. I've had a few DVDs and one 4k ...

I've had that 'bug' in my player since I bought it in April 2025 (a 900 mark 1 model).  Annoying to say the least but I left the blasted BD Live turned on to avoid the idiotic prompt.  &n...

If you prohibit BD Live access on the player, every time you start a movie there is a prompt saying you'rr disconnected to the internet, in which you have to always select OK. It's not much, but it...

If you have the BD-Live set to prohibit, everytime you start a disc you have to select Ok on a prompt telling you how you're disconnected from the internet. I know it's not much, but isn t there a ...

I second this!

Hello! It would be nice if the firmware update dialogue is improved, e.g. say what the current version is, what version is available to download, a short explanation of the update, continue with t...

Hello!! I just received my UDP900. From the About Player menu option about I gather the firmware version it came with is 842-USA01 with a build date of Nov 8 2024? Should I update it to the latest...

I've run into one of the 2 situations you describe, the TV related one (don't have an AV receiver hence can't answer the first part). When I tried playing audio from an SACD to my TV's soundbar (o...

Yeah, I've run into unknown disc errors on discs that play fine on another player. Usually I can get them to play after wet cleaning. They've played through too. Make sure to clean both sides (I k...
