I am a fan of a number of British produced shows that are now out of print in the US or were never released in Blu-Ray here in the US. In the UK however shows like The Prisoner are still available and come in excellent remastered Blu-Ray editions. I read the reviews on this player which were mixed but I wanted 4K support AND multi-region so I took a chance and am extremely pleased. These region B TV shows and movies play perfectly and my US region A 4K HDR and Blu-ray and DVDs play great as well. Simple instructions came with the Unit. A couple of notes - the HDMI cable which came with the Unit did not work for 4K (so I bought a new one) and I didnt realize my 3 year old Audio Video Receiver would not pass a 4K HDR signal (Onkyo TX-NR646) - so I hooked the Blu-ray directly to the TV and sent the audio on an optical cable to the AVR. The picture is great but I dont get all the lossless sound across the optical channel. I have since ordered an HDMI splitter with HDMI Audio extract to pass an HDMI connection to my TV and my AVR which will hopefully fix this issue. Review to come later. Also note that there is a higher end LG multi-region 4K player available the UBK90 which has 2 HDMI outputs which would have been perfect for my situation. So if you have this issue I suggest spending a bit more, around $100 and getting that unit.
