User questions & answers

Question:	I've bought an external blu-ray drive before and been screwed. so i have to ask, will this actually play blu-ray discs i put in? like movies i own
Answer:	You will need additional software in order to play Blu-ray Discs. For windows they provide a free viewer, which I cannot comment on, since I own a Mac. For a Mac, I recommend Blu-ray Player Pro, which has a free version, but it has a watermark that does get annoying after awhile. The paid version is $35, and it works great. Hope that helps.
Question:	Can i copy a blu-ray from a blu-ray player using the hdmi output or usb on source player
Answer:	No HDMI is encrypted to prevent copying. However there is software available to make a copy from a blu ray or 4K disc to your hard drive and then burn another disk if you so desire using this drive.
Question:	whats the difference between this model and the pioneer xd05b
Answer:	greetins xd05b is No Longer Available, old model. atte.
Question:	Does it work with mac os x catalina (latest version
Answer:	Yes it does work with the latest version of Catalina. Be aware that to play Blu-ray discs, you will need to purchase a Blu-ray Disc software in order to use on a Mac. Blu-ray Player Pro works great, but it will set you back 39.99. Their free version has a watermark, which does become annoying.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this 4k uhd blu-ray burner read high definition (hd 1080) blu-ray discs
Answer:	It can read dvd, 1080p Blu-ray and 4k Blu-ray.
Question:	Can you install older games from this player
Answer:	It reads all discs, so I asume it should.
Question:	Can we purchase a protection plan for this item (like the Asurion 4 year plan
Answer:	Depends where you buy it from. Not worth the expensive software subscription required to operate and use for its features.
Question:	Is this player backword compatible with, and will it play, 1080 (non-4K) blu ray discs
Answer:	It will... but beware, as those (plus DVDs) are ALL it will play. Turns out that "4K Ready" actually means that the drive is equipped with a ruinously restricted copy protection system that will only allow it to play 4K UHD discs if used with a computer that has an equivalently copy protected graphics chipset... which at present is solely supported by Intel on-motherboard graphics. Meaning that if you have an Nvidia or AMD or any other brand of discrete graphics card, there is no way to get UHD to play. On the other hand, most pre-"4K Ready" blu ray drives actually ARE capable of playing UHD with appropriate aftermarket software modifications/support...
