@Dwayne Richardson Wow, good luck with the new player. My back up player, a Sony, doesn't have any issues with the troublesome discs. I hope Magnetar gives this issue some serious thought.
@Ashto I've cleaned the discs and that doesn't always work. I haven't noticed dirt on the disc after playing but I will pay closer attention to that now. Also this phenomenon only happens to very f...
@Dwayne Richardson Prior to owning the Magnetar, I owned the Oppo BDP-93. The only reason I replaced it was to go 4K and Atmos. It ran perfectly with no issues for 11 years. I gave it to a friend w...
The Analogue Productions Steely Dan sacds are spectacular. Everthing but The Royal Scam has been released.
@Dwayne Richardson I don't think this problem is "uncommon across the board..." I can't recall this happening with any other players I have owned. I hope more Magnetar owners see this post.
@Dwayne Richardson Never had this issue with any players ever, Oppos, Sonys etc. For the money we paid the operation of the Magnetar should be flawless. Don't get me wrong, the Magnetar is a great ...
Currently only 3 or 4 discs (various formats except DVD) in my collection give me this problem. I have had a little luck with reloading the disc until it plays or restarting the player. These discs...
Is it ok to use a laser lens cleaning disc on the Magnetar 800? I am looking at the Digital Innovations CleanDr for Blu-Ray Laser Lens. It's available on amazon. Thanks, Dan Reich
@Magnetar Concierge Would that also reset the region free option?
@Magnetar Concierge No I have not tried a reset in the menu. What is the procedure for that?
I have a blu-ray disc (the Criterion Manchurian Candidate) that after a few minutes time loading I get an "unknown disc" message. After cleaning the disc and restarting several times the disc playe...

My Hisense TV showed the same thing, hence the confusion and frustration.
Ok. I wish they made that clearer on the disc box. My workaround is to tweak the settings on HDR10+ to match Dolby Vision IQ more.
I hate to re-open this topic but the issue is not resolved. I bought another copy of 1917 thinking that if the first disc was defective, a new copy might solve the problem. It did not. Magnetar 800...
Must be a defect with the 1917 disc. The other discs mentioned play Dolby Vision with no problem. I should've checked all of the discs before I started the topic. Sorry. Thanks for your help.
Wow! That's just what the dr. ordered. Thanks!
1917 4K, Stanley Kubrick 3-film 4K Collection, Wall•E 4K (Criterion) are the ones I have. Admittedly HDR10+ is not a widely used format and I did not buy these for the HDR10+ versions. It's fr...
