I set it to 4K after people here suggested it wasn't working because I had it on Auto so in terms of player picture settings yes it's on 4K. Have tried lower settings as well but no difference.

Firmware is up to up date. As mentioned I already tried Season 14 which has Robots of Death and Talons of Weng-Chiang. Same issues. Widescreen material is fine but 4:3 extras just appear as a black screen. Again the episodes which are 4:3 are unaffected by this. The Deadly Assassin for example plays fine.

I changed that when Panson and you requested it wasn't necessary and keep it to 4:2:2 as asked. As I said BBC refuse to help me as it's not a problem with the discs. No one else has mentioned this issue. Kind of pointless contacting Panasonic as they go through a script and this is far too technical for to figure out.

- HDR TV Type - Middle or High Luminance
- HDCP Output Setting - Automatic
- Contents Type Flag - Automatic
- Audio Output - On
- 7.1ch Audio Reformatting - Automatic

My TV is Samsung TU7100 Crystal UHD 4K HDR Smart TV.
