When I click buy online it says: "Your selection is currently not available. Please try a different model or check your local store."

I don't know, I just checked their UK website...I'm from Kanada me.
Give them a call or send them a email and ask where you can buy, and tell them too to indicate it on their UK website.
Maybe it's still too new to them to have all the dealers info yet?

Best,

Hey All.

I upgraded to the X800 after my Oppo BDP93 bit the dust.

One thing I’ve noticed about the X800 is that it won’t pick up from where it left off if a disc I’ve been watching remains in the player after it’s been in standby mode. The same goes for swapping between discs. I can’t use the play all function on a TV series if I put the disc back in as it just defaults to the usual start up and menu screen. Is there a way I can change this?

And if you try a Warner Bros disc? It does work fine here, depends on the disc.

Would like to know this also, must be Multi-region for BD's mind, I can pick the X800 (MR) for around £350 from Amazon, how much would a modded multiregion M2 retail for?

It depends on the Blu-ray disc title, some will not allow for resume play. Also make sure you have 1GB or larger USB stick plugged into the front of the player at all times. Many Blu-ray discs use the persistent storage for the resume play function. 100% of all OPPO Blu-ray players always had at least 1GB of internal storage reserved for BD-LIVE and resume play. All Blu-ray players in production including those over $1,000 dropped the 1GB of internal storage for BD-LIVE and resume play. Most Blu-ray discs from 2014 and up need a minimum of 1GB of storage for resume play to work, installing a 1GB USB stick on all Blu-ray players solves the problem (Some older Panasonic Blu-ray players use SD cards instead of USB).


There are a few older Blu-ray discs that have no resume play function at all and even on the classic OPPO Blu-ray player the Blu-ray disc will start at the beginning.

Thank you so much. The USB has solved the problem.

New here regarding the UBP-X800...just purchased one as open box from Best Buy.
Still growing into 4K and have yet to purchase a 4K TV, but decided to go with the UBP-X800 for Dolby Atmos playback on my LG SK10Y Soundbar.
I'm wondering if it is possible to playback MKV files with Dolby Atmos via USB?
I know it isn't possible while streaming over wifi via media server.

Not sure how to set up external USB drive or flash drive for playback.
I own mostly Apple iMac/Macbooks, but do have Windows PC laptop.
Need assistance in formatting and set up.

Any information will be greatly helpful and appreciated.

Thanks!

The 800 and 700 can't play any files with the Atmos soundtrack, I tried a few samples from last year and never had any success.

Thanks for the info...
I have transferred a lot of my blu-ray library onto my PLEX Media Server and the ones with Dolby Atmos aren't playable via wifi.
I thought maybe that having it physically connected to an external drive via USB would solve that issue.

I guess the only way is being played directly from the actual Blu-ray Disc.

Hi all,new to the forum (but long time visited).Not exactly sure where to post this but I'd like to ask the following.I have a Sony X800 and a Samsung NU7400 4K connected with a audio quest pearl HDMI.And just wondering if anyone has either and what the best settings are regarding 4K? Iask because I watched batman begins and the flesh tones look a little 'warm',same for the dark knight. Sorry for the ramble I'd just appreciate the help.

I just heard the announcement that Amazon is dropping support for the Prime Video app on Sony BD players, but i'm slightly confused if it includes all BD and UHD players or just really old BD players made before 2015 or so? I find it odd that even Sony's US site doesn't mention a list of affected products like the UK site for the Bravia TVs do.

Case you all wonder I have my UBP-X800 UHD player I got about a year ago on markdown at Target that I watch content on the Prime Video app.

Not all.

Similarly got word via Amazon e-mail about two weeks ago about my (2012 model year) Pannys losing the Amazon app in September. Now getting harder for someone who wants to stream via BD player with analog outs.

[SpaceBlackKnight]

OTOH, I didn't get any email regarding discontinuation of the prime app on any of my registered devices, so I should be fine (for now) right?

[SpaceBlackKnight]

After digging, I found the US and CAN list of Sony devices that will drop supporting the Prime App after Sep 26th:

Luckily, the UHD players on the UBP series aren't effected. PHEWWWWWW!

FYI: Just picked up my first 4K TV...TCL 75R615 from Best Buy for $1299.
Had deep color issue with blackouts if it was turned on with BLU-RAY being upconverted to 4K in the UBP-X800.
Liking it so far...

[Show spoiler]

how's it working out for you? I put it in my Amazon cart the other day after confirming it had/supported Dolby Atmos AND Dolby Vision.

Now I just need to save up some $$$$$ for it And a 4K TV, prob one of these 2 Sony's (both are 65"). My current TV is a 70" 3D Sharp LCD that works/looks fine, but obv if I want to see And hear the best available content (in 4K), I need to upgrade eventually. So while I'm Looking at one of these 65" ones, I may see what's avail for a similar price point in the 70" size(s), prob an LG

$1798

$1498


damn this hobby....
