    This prob will only work for a few people, but to stop the freezes whenever a video would start, I had to set Optical to Auto (even though I have no optical cord attached) it fixed the freezes I would get with every video I tried to play. I know it does not make a lot of sense but I have fiddled with it enough to know that it's the cause of my problem cause switching it back to off causes it to freeze on every video I try to play. just shows how messed up their boxes are when the setting for the optical that's not being used, is causing issues.

    I wanted to try changing these settings for an experiment, but I didn’t find such an item for an optical parameter in the menu

    Does the freezing only happen on 4k videos or the type of files? I currently own the Z20 PRO & have a Denon receiver with my 1080 plasma TV. I have never had any problems with freezing & all of my video files are mkv.

    UHD5000 does not have such an item in the menu!

    That sounds weird. Maybe someone else that has a UHD5000 can help.

    I also got freezing at the beginning of movie(4K, 1080P MKV,M2TS...) sometimes.
    In case of my UHD 5000(FW 1.0.86), there are 3 kinds of option in SPDIF. LPCM 2 channel, RAW, OFF. which one do I have to select to fix the freezing problem? (My HDMI Audio option sets to RAW)

    Like it says in the first post. Set it to Auto or RAW. Not OFF

    Hello,
    I have a Z2000pro in version 1.0.95, before I didn't have any problems but for a few weeks now (and even on the old version), when I'm watching a film the picture freezes at a certain point in the film, whereas for other people the film plays fine.
    I've tried selecting the RAW option but the image still freezes.

    Keep it on RAW and try turning spdif off (instead of auto)

    It still doesn't work
    In the Audio menu :
    HDMI output > RAW
    SPDIF output > OFF
    Dwnmix Audio HD > ON

    When the movie freezes and I return to the home page, the timeline of the movie is still displayed on the player screen instead of the time...

    I'm completely baffled

    My original fix on here stated clearly that I could only play movies properly if it was not on "off" setting
