how to play movies on Panasonic 820 via USB

[zind1703]

the 820 player plays any movie via USB but without sound

has anyone been able to play DTS or AC3 or Atmos sound through this Blu-ray
?

like connecting a network cable? And how?

The UB820 does play files off USB, but it won't decode HD audio like DTS-HD MA, TrueHD, or Atmos tracks — it just skips the sound or falls back to core (if you're lucky). Best fix is to connect it via HDMI to an AVR that supports those formats and make sure the player is set to bitstream output.

Also, network cable doesn’t help for local playback — it doesn’t support DLNA server stuff very well, and you can’t stream MKVs with HD audio over network either.

So either remux with AC3 if you're stuck with just the TV, or get it hooked up to a proper receiver. Works great that way.

I'm planning to buy a 4K TV and would appreciate your recommendations.
Looking for models that support HEVC, VVC, and MV-HEVC decoding, and also have Dolby Vision support.
