I recently posted a comment about not being able to play back the Blu-Ray disc on my Panasonic UB-820 player. The 4k disc loaded without difficulty. Amazon replaced the “defective” disc, but I ran into the same issue with the replacement. I then discovered quite by chance that the issue lies...

Has anybody had issues with the Blu Ray not playing back? I had no issues with the 4k disc in my Panasonic DP-UB820 player. However when I tried to play the BluRay, it refused to load properly. I’ve t checked the disc; it looks OK, but won’t play. Luckily, Amazon is letting me return the film...

Hopefully my experience with the blu ray was a “one off” issue. But I suspect that there are a fairly large number of users who share my experience with the blu ray.

Hi. Unfortunately, in addition to the known issue with the blu ray, which has been addressed by Criterion, I find that my 4K blu ray is also defective. When I removed the disk from the case and inserted into my Panasonic UB-820 4k player, a message appeared on my screen saying that the disc...
