About this player

Why use Panasonic DP-UB9000 with HDfury Arcana?

This high-end UHD player is used in installations where video processing and lossless audio are central. The HDMI output, bitstream setting, and HDR selection therefore require extra attention.

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.
