A: There could be a couple of reasons that this is happening. The first and most important is to go into the settings of the player and check the HDMI port settings to be sure that it is set for 4K instead of 1080. I had to do that on mine and it works great! Second, use a cable that is at least HDMI 1.4 or higher so it will pass the much higher resolution. Best of luck!
A: Yes, this plays regular DVD and Blu-ray.
A: It is not, just brought it home and discovered that the hard way.. Such a shame! Probably returning and going with last years model that does support 3D.. Uggg
A: Really?? It's a DVD player. 6 pounds, max. Only one person needed.
Q: Will it play 4K disks or does it only stream 4 K content?
A: The player will play disks in 4K.
A: This happened to me and I reached out to Samsung online support. One of the buttons ended up being stuck on the remote - i unplugged all the cables and let it sit for a half hour and fixed the stuck in button the remote. Everything worked after that. I was worried I had a lemon (purchased Nov 2018).
Q: anybody know whats the diference between the UBD-M8500 and the UBD-K8500?? thanx
A: Hello robertg, I have attached links below to the specifications of each unit. https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/home-theater/blu-ray-dvd-players/ubd-m8500-4k-ultra-hd-blu-ray-player-ubd-m8500-za/?redir=UBD-M8500#specs https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/home-theater/blu-ray-dvd-players/4k-ultra-hd-blu-ray-player-ubd-k8500-za/#specs ^Britt
A: Most TV's today have 2 or more HDMI "jacks" on the rear of the TV. Exp HDMI 1 & HDMI 2. Your cable box should be connected to jack HDMI 1. The DVD player should be connected to HDMI 2. Once you turn your TV on & go to the DVD selection and press enter, it'll automatically power on the DVD player as they do communicate with one another via the HDMI cable. For audio surround sound receivers w/ optical cable connections, you only need to connect the optical cable from the receiver to the TV's optical connection to receive true digital surround sound. The HDMI connections from the TV to the DVD player does the rest. This way if you want to watch a DVD movie, you can have the cable box turned OFF & still use your audio receiver to get true surround sound audio. The TV recognizes the optical cables & interfaces the components. If the receiver is not on, then the connections are made thru the HDMI connections and are true digital video & sound. NOTE: Make sure your TV is selected to the HDMI format to the correct components. .
