About this player

Why use Magnetar UDP800 / UDP900 with HDfury Arcana?

This high-end disc player is intended for installations where maximum video and audio quality is expected. Use bitstream and disable audio mixing to preserve the original soundtrack.

Arcana extracts audio from the HDMI signal before a TV or projector can restrict it. A compatible soundbar or receiver can therefore receive the best available soundtrack while the video signal continues to the display.

  • After installation, verify that the TV reports the correct resolution and HDR mode.
  • Check the Sonos app or receiver display to confirm that Dolby Atmos or the intended surround format is received.
  • Only force EDID or scaling when the automatic configuration is not stable.
