Forcing Dolby Vision on SDR content in UHD/DV Discs


  • Love my UDP800, but I do find the following a bit frustrating:

    It force-plays SDR menus and SDR extras in a Dolby Vision UHD disc in Dolby Vision. Even studio logos default to Dolby Vision/rec2020, regardless of whether they are SDR/709 or not. Is there a way to prevent this? The Panasonic 820 does the same thing. The Oppo 203 switches between Dolby Vision and SDR content within the same disc "on the fly", which is fantastic. This is one of the few things about the Magnetar I dislike, but perhaps there is a way around it that does not involve manually enabling/disabling HDR/DV all the time.

    Is this intentional/by design? If so, I am genuinely curious to understand why. 

    As somebody who uses the player mostly for work/testing, being able to play back the correct color space and HDR/SDR format within a UHD disc is crucial for me. Please consider making this defeatable in a future firmware update.
