Panasonic DB-9000 Ultra Blueray Player

I bought Panasonic DB-9000 Blueray player knowing from the spec sheet saying it support Dolby Atoms & DTS master HD. When i hook up the player via hdmi to my Marantz AV8805 processor, I play a 4k 2160p MKV files with dolby atmos or DTS HD and the player say audio files is NOT SUPPORTED. Anyone has any ideas? please help

It is likely a licensing issue restriction that is built into the Panasonic firmware when playing MKV media files.  It is likely that bluray players will not play these hi-res formats (Dolby Atmos / DTS HD) unless they are read from an actual bluray disc.

I doubt it.  Like I said, Hollywood gets really picky with these bluray audio formats and licensing restrictions on how they are played through a normal bluray player.  If you are using a computer for playback, then the software you use is likely not going to be as restrictive on what audio formats it will playback.
