Problems with ubp-x800

Hi

 

We recently bought this player from Amazon. It is connected to a Sony hf-zf9 and then through this to a Samsung TV. We updated to the most recent firmware as part of the setup. We have noticed that when we try to turn the player on nearly every time the TV switches to it but nothing appears. We get an error from the soundbar usually saying that there is no hdmi signal. Sometimes the picture does eventually come, sometimes not requiring a hard reset of the player. It happens whether there is a disk in the drive or not. It also happens when you connect the blu ray player directly to the TV. We can't find anything in the settings to explain this. We contacted the retailer and were exchanged to a new unit, but the problems are still occuring. We are beginning to contemplate returning both units and purchasing a Samsung player, can you advise on further action? Personally I am surprised we are having problems, as with Sony's reputation I wouldn't expect such issues.

Hello @dn212121,

 

did you try another HDMI-cable for the player?

Hi @dn212121

 

Probably not the same issue as yours but Sony are aware that when the X800 is outputting 2160p then the X800 Menu does not appear while going through the ZF9. However 4K Blu-Ray disks play OK. I have the same setup and the solution for me was to connect the X800 direct to an enhanced HDMI (2) input on my KD-55XE9305. That way the X800 Menu appears and the ZF9 picks up Dolby Atmos via the HDMI ARC (3).

Thanks. Unfortunately that can't be it as we get the problems whether we connect to the TV or sound bar direct.

 

Any other ideas?
