## Description

Region Free UHD player with HDR (High Dynamic Range), HDR10, & Dolby Vision. This player has built-in support for the highest-quality surround sound formats, like Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio. It also plays Dolby Atmos-encoded discs. You simply set the HDMI audio output to "bitstream" when connected to an Atmos-capable receiver. There are two HDMI outputs: one for sending audio to your home theater receiver and one for video directly to your TV. That means you can still play sound through receivers that don't have a free HDMI input that's HDCP 2.2 compatible. You can also use an optical digital connection to get surround sound from the player to your receiver. Dual Bank Wi-Fi for Smooth 4K video streaming Digital Optical Audio output 16-15/16"W x 1-13/16"H x 9-3/8"D LG UBKM9 Region Free Blu-ray Player

Review: It performed like promised - The first thing I did with this unit is try a dvd from another region and a bluray from another zone. The DVD did great without having to do anything to the player. After inserting a zone B bluray, I got the message that a zone B will not play in this player. I then booted the player just like the instructions said and it played fine. I was pleasantly surprised that once you play a bluray from another zone, you do not have to reboot the machine to go back to zone A. It switched zones by it'self. I went back and forth without having to power down. One little thing you have to watch for. If you insert a bluray from another zone and get the message that it will not play, you have to hit "stop" twice before removing the disc to boot up to another zone. If you don't, it will go to the same place in the disc and you will get the error again. Everything else on this player works great. I can stream netflix with no problem. The only weird thing with the network is I couldn't make it see the wired connection, but it works fine wireless. One other thing is , the player does not have a display but that doesn't matter to me. The video is awesome.
Review: NOT Region Free - This is a good player with many options and amenities. However, I recently tried to play a Region 2 DVD and it would not recognize it. I did everything that was suggested by everyone, including resetting to the baseline and setting it up again for R2, but it simply wouldn't recognize the disc. Thought it was possibly a bad disc set so I put a disc in my previous player and it played immediately. Just a bit disappointing since I thought this would be an all around everything player. UPDATE: After continually being unable to play discs from other regions, and also seeing many artifacts, stutters, and freezes while playing R1 discs, I contacted LG and was told to send them the player so they could fix it. It has been well over a month now and no word from them. I have also reached out to them and asked for a simple update as to the status of the repair and still no word from them. At this point, I truly wish I had not spent the money on this player as I could have found something else that works and I would be able to watch the discs I bought specifically because this player was supposed to be able to play them. Incredibly disappointed. SECOND UPDATE: For the sake of fairness, I must say that the "missing" player was left at the wrong doorstep and was forgotten by the older woman who took it in a couple doors down from us. That said, LG should have answered the emails I sent to ask them where it was. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, the unit STILL DOES NOT PLAY MULTI-REGION DISCS!! They returned it with a "Repaired" notice on the box and it still doesn't work. What did they do with the player? So I wholeheartedly say, Do Not Buy This Player. I could have spent $100 less and gotten the same thing from another brand, that plays 4K HD. Now I have to get another player to play region free discs. Frustrated and disappointed and won't buy anything LG again. I truly hope your experience is a better one if you decide to take the plunge anyway.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you switch zone/region?**
A: This player comes with an enclosed sheet labelled "LG Hardware Modified", which gives you detailed instructions for changing Blu-Ray zones.  IGNORE THIS SHEET!!!  The instructions tell you to "Make sure that the QUICK START mode of the unit is set to OFF from the setup menu!"  Then it tells you to:  "Press Standby/On to turn OFF the unit."  There is no such "mode" to be found anywhere in the setup menu.  Nor is there any button on the remote control labelled "Standby/On".   Most importantly, DO NOT mess with the Setup Menu to try to select Player Regions!  I tried that and got nowhere.  As previously explained by another user, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS THIS:  MAKE SURE THE PLAYER IS CONNECTED TO POWER.  OPEN THE DISC TRAY ("OPEN/CLOSE" BUTTON) AND INSERT YOUR BR DISC.  TURN OFF THE POWER (TOP RED BUTTON ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE REMOTE).  ON THE REMOTE CONTROL, PRESS (1) FOR REGION A.  PRESS (2) FOR REGION B.  PRESS (3) FOR REGION C.  KEEP THE BUTTON PRESSED UNTIL THE PLAYER TURNS ON!  THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO DO.  I noted that the player is preset for Region A.  I inserted a Region B disc and pressed the button on the remote numbered "2" until the player powered up by itself and recognized my Region B disc.  When i removed the Region B disc and inserted a Region A disc, the player automatically recognized the proper zone and played it. I did not have to repeat the numeric button process.  I then reinserted the B disc to see if the player would automatically recognize its zone, and it did so.  I don't have any Region C discs, but the same procedure should work for them.  There may be a way to select zones within the setup menu, but i could not get it to work using the remote control.

**Q: Everything works except i can see 4k bluray displayed on my 4k ultra hd tv anything i need to do to fix that?**
A: You need a High Speed 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 Cable to connect a 4K bluray device to other 4K bluray device. Anything less then HDMI 2.0 Cable will not pass the 4K signal. I have a surround sound system that has 4K passthrough but it didn't passthrough the HDR signal, With a HDMI 2.0 cable directly to my TV it worked and TV played 4k HDR signal. My solution to use the surround sound plus get a 4K HDR picture on the TV was to use a HDMI 4k HDR splitter to feed both the surround sound and the TV.

**Q: Will this play Prime, Hulu and Netflix?**
A: It’s has Netflix and YouTube.

**Q: If the player requires a software update, does doing that eliminate its ability to play all regions?**
A: Our players are guaranteed to remain region free even after the firmware updates.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it says - great quality
*by P***E on May 8, 2020*

This all-region Ultra 4K player does exactly what it says. So far everything I've thrown in it plays GREAT! No sound or picture issues. I use a high speed Ultra 4K Monster cable, however, which I recommend going into my Sony Ultra 4K TV with HDR. No lag, jerks or delays. Easy to use. It is a LITTLE quirky setting up for ethernet line or wi-fi, but just stick with wi-fi - it seems to get that better. My ONE complaint is the idea of it being a "smart" player. It has two apps … Netflix and YouTube, and to the best of my knowledge that is all you can get. Those are the two I use most, so it is ...OK. But if you want more streaming, good luck.
