I will have to go delve into the settings, which were configured quickly due to severely constricted time frame. Thanks.

I have a UB820 and I love it. Unfortunately I ran into a problem connecting an external hard drive USB that doesn't have external power into the front panel's USB. It looks like I will need a powered USB extender.

Does anybody here have suggested powered USB extenders? I am connecting a 4TB Toshiba Canvio Basic portable hard drive.

I can see text "5V/500mA. HDD: use rear USB" on front port. Short form 30-50 cm USB A extender cable (without external power) might be sufficient with the rear port connection, which can output higher current. According to manual rear USB provides 900 mA, which should be enough for most portable HDDs. It's also USB3. Front is USB2.

Thank you for helping me know of a little bit more text I failed to see when I looked at the front panel. I tried the rear port and the USB HD reads just fine. Thank you so much!

Best Buy has discounted the price of the 820. It doesn't look like normal sale discount but rather a discontinued product price cut.

Looks like a Panasonic promo price. Bestbuy, crutchfeld, b&h and abt are all offering the same $75 off discount.

They get discounted to 400 normally. This isn’t even a good sale. They hit 350 a couple times a year too.

But wasn’t there a price hike last year? Sales might not hit the same lows as they did before the price hike.

No they are the same price they have always been. There was no price hike for the 420 and 820 there was one for the 9000.

is their any benefits or drawbacks to have HDR optimizer ON with samsungs latest flagship 4K micro LED tv?

Interesting. We had a nearly $100 price increase on the 820 here in Canada. The 9000 was about $250.

So if I stop a movie and then resume it knocks the audio out of sync and nothing I try fixes it I have to turn off the player (820) and let it off for a few hours before it fixes itself with the disc if I take the movie out and put something else in it works fine but put the disc back in and boom sync is off like hell anyone has this issue?

So far it’s been two movies (as I don’t often stop movies but both times I had gotten a call that I had to take) both were 4K discs when it happened

I take it then you would say you can recreate the delay? Are you using one hdmi or two? Straight to tv or to a receiver?

One hdmi to tv don’t have a sound system as my condo walls are thin and can’t really do loud sounds without getting fined

I guess so as I hit play and it delays and then I would eject the disc and reinsert and hit the “resume” button it does the same when I repeat and hit the go to menu and then hit scene selection it still has the delay but when I turn off the machine for say 30 mins and then restart it plays perfectly I guess I just have to remember to hit pause or just turn off the machine and not just stop

Just got the 820 set up.

I'm only watching 1080p blu rays at the moment.

High clarity sound is on by default. Do I want this on or off?

Also, on my older Panny BD player when a disc starts up it says 24p in the top right corner, where as it doesnt on the 820?
