Hi folks, I have these two Pioneer UHD drives. A BDR-211UBK and a BDR-212UBK.
Th BDR-211UBK will not play 4K discs, it errors out with "Can't read AACS VID". Here's its info:

This BDR-212UBK on the other hand plays all the 4K discs the BDR-211UBK won't play. Here its info:

What is happening with the BDR-211UBK? I see that for both drives the highest sseen AACS version is v60.
Can someone explain?
