Hi, had a quick question. New to this but found a Pioneer BDR-XD07 Blu-Ray dr with the 1.02 original firmware. Am i correct in assuming it can support UHD as well even though it doesn't specify it like in yalls list? or is it able to be flashed over to also support UHD since it is in that series? Thanks!

Yes, it can be flashed. Email Billycar11 (in his signature, 2 posts prior to this one) as he has a flasher for that.
