Ya know, @Rango , that was pretty cool of you to pull one out and double-check. I really do appreciate it.Yeah, it doesn't. Nor does it support DVD-A.
lol, no worries; just had to double check.Ya know, @Rango , that was pretty cool of you to pull one out and double-check. I really do appreciate it.
Just get a "universal player" then formats don't matter.Goldilocks ran away from the multiplicity of bears pushing too many formats.

And worth every penny! Myself I don't care about 4K video, I have a BDP 103 and a 95. The 95 (being much older) doesn't do networking as well and won't play DSD from a flash or hard drive, but plays discs just fine.....and blindingly expensive.
There are many other posts about this topic, myself I've previously posted about the many different players that you can find used (check eBay) for as little as $50.00. They don't all do Blu-ray but cover the other formats!Such as?
It was an entirely reasonable price when new for what it did.....and blindingly expensive.

My UBP-X800 doesn't. I have DVD-R surround-musik.de discs that it just doesn't recognise.Does the Sony UBP-X800M2 really not play CDs on CR-R or DVD-A/V on DVD-R? That's appalling! I have CD-R recordings of my dad singing in a male voice choir. My brother has DVD-Rs of his children when they were young recorded on a camcorder. This is all entirely legitimate content, no copyright violations in sight.
