Due to space constraints I don't have the height to accomodate the U820 on my shelf, but I might end up moving stuff around. Is there a way to get this player to work in the US? I noticed the power supply is 220-240v. My LG UBK90 turned out to be a lemon and is freezing on Layer 3 disks. Requirements are Dolby Vision / HDR10 auto switching 2.3" or less height. Are there any other decent alternatives?

Step up transformer would be my only guess.

hmm looking at the manual now it does seem to say:
The AC adaptor operates on AC between 110 V and 240 V.
But obtain a suitable plug adaptor if the plug does not fit the

This review seems to state that the Sony UBP-X700 has a better picture and sound than the DP-UB450EB

Plus there are some higher models that are under that height: https://www.sony.com/electronics/blu-ray-dvd-players/t/blu-ray-disc-players

The downside is the Sony requires manually switching between HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Also for the review to say the Panasonic sound quality is mediocre seems rather suspect to me. How can that be when running a lossless audio file? Did they measure the audio output with any sort of scientific approach? I highly doubt you can tell an audio difference between UHD players at this price range.
