1st setting is the 4k upscaling. That is recommended to be turned off (especially when watching a 4k disc as it doesn't need to be upscaled). I have used the upscaling on regular blu rays with no issue, but usually just let my C1 do that as it does it better anyways.
2nd setting is to be sure the cinema conversion mode is set to Video instead of Auto.
I'm really curious to see if this would work for you. I know that it seems to have worked for nearly everyone who found this info and tried it. There's a YouTube video that covers this and the comments section is full of people thanking the guy for the video, saying that they were beyond frustrated, beyond the return window, and just ready to give up on it.

That said, there is still the obvious issue with the manual selection of Dolby Vision. Yeah, it is a little frustrating but it does get the job done at a less expensive cost vs the Panasonics. I jumped on the UB820 deal myself at Abt when the price dropped to $348 and got an extra $25 off for signing up for their email list. I couldn't resist at $323 and am looking forward to getting it tomorrow.
If you get a chance to try the settings please respond with your results. If it doesn't work I'm not going to bother to even mention it again. But if it works like it has for me the Sony is a decent budget entry into the 4k physical media world for many.

Wish I could recall the disc I had that repro'ed the issue, but I tested the X700 and X800M2 side-by-side when I was annoyed it was freezing the X700 and the X800 didn't freeze.
I don't recall the technical reason for it, so maybe there are still cases where it will freeze.
Wondering if there has been any consistency among those who have bought them (either good or bad). I see an Open-Box Excellent condition for $181, but have never had experience with them myself.

In case your home theater receiver don't have 4K support(outdated), connect Blu-ray player directly to TV and connect the receiver to the Blu-ray. Im sure there's other reasons , but I did that until I had finally upgraded my receiver.
