No, sorry. The firmware is newer then November 2022. All Pioneer drives which could be 4k friendly with the right firmware but were flashed to a firmware 12/22 or newer are out of the game.

Thank you, however I tried to flash it and I'm getting:

Drive and firmware hardware types don't match.

Make sure you check the "Force Flash" box.

Sorry. I just learned a few days ago that the RS859x firmware belongs to a BD combo and not a BD writer (RS851x). So your drive can't be flashed. Only writers can be flashed for reading UHDs.

Ok, Thank you anyway :)
What drive would you'd recommend I get for best compatibility?
