That is the case because UHD and 4K are almost the same, and both terms are used pretty much interchangeably. Today, it is common to see the newest devices with built-in UHD drives, for example, the recently released PS5 and Xbox Series X. Blu-ray players with UHD drives are very cheap and they are widely available.<\/p>\n<p>UHD Blu-ray optical drives are also easy to find and cheap to find these days. A good example is the LG WH16NS60 UHD Blu-ray optical drive which is cheap to buy, yet packed with decent features that make it a bargain. In this guide, we will introduce the LG WH16NS60 UHD Blu-ray optical drive, and show you how to flash firmware\/ downgrade it. We will also give you reasons why you may want to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-5 tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/4k-uhd-drive.jpg\" onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"p3 projection ml15 mb15 img_big lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/4k-uhd-drive.jpg\" width=\"300\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"anchor-list-green\">\n<p align=\"center\">Outline<\/p>\n<ul class=\"pl40\">\n<li> <a href=\"#part1\">Part 1: Introduction to LG WH16NS60<\/a> <\/li>\n<li> <a href=\"#part2\">Part 2: Purpose of Downgrading Firmware on UHD Drive<\/a> <\/li>\n<li> <a href=\"#part3\">Part 3: How to Downgrade Firmware on LG WH16NS60 with Ease?<\/a> <\/li>\n<li> <a href=\"#part4\">Part 4: Relevant Tools to Rip, Copy or Play the UHD Content after Downgrading Firmware<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"part1\" class=\"wp-part\"><strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Part 1: Introduction to LG WH16NS60 <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The LG WH16NS60 is an internal UHD Blu-ray Drive designed and sold by LG. It features Superior data protection with M-DISC support (a patent rock-like recording surface instead of organic dye to etch your data onto a disc). It features the Silent Play technology, which helps reduce noise during playback by recognizing different multimedia, and automatically adjusting the playback speed according to its criteria. With this UHD Blu-ray drive, you not only get to enjoy UHD content, but also 3D Blu-ray Discs, and with the support for Blu-ray BDXL discs, you can burn up to 128GBs of data on a single disc.

That is because UHD drives (including the LG WH16NS60 UHD PC drive) implement AACS2 protection. For users, that means for reading the data from the disc, the software must present the AACS2 host certificate but unfortunately, no such certificates are publicly available at the moment. As such, you will not be able to make non-decrypted full disc backups of your UHD discs from such drives, and in some instances, you will have trouble reading certain UHD media. Regular BD drives do not implement AACS2 protection, even if they read data from BDXL discs. Therefore, by downgrading your UHD drive firmware, you can easily read the UHD discs and make non-decrypted full disc backups. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"part3\" class=\"wp-part\"><strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Part 3: How to Downgrade Firmware on LG WH16NS60 with Ease?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For the LG WH16NS60 firmware downgrade job, you are going to need an advanced program like <strong><a title=\"Leawo UHD Drive Tool\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/uhd-drive-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leawo UHD Drive Tool<\/a><\/strong>.
