Setup, Compatibility & Care

To view the 4K Ultra HD disc, you must utilize a dedicated 4K UHD Blu-ray player connected to a 4K-capable television via a high-speed HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 cable. These discs are region-coded for specific territories, so verify your hardware compatibility before playback. Regarding care, always handle the disc by the outer edges or the center hole. Clean the reflective surface using a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth, wiping from the center outward in a straight line. Never use household glass cleaners or solvents, and store the disc in its original case away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or data layer oxidation.
