 I've read that PQ has even improved with the new firmware update, Bob can you confirm this? Also what type of connections are you using for audio?
I have the single (I think it is digital something) wire running from the player to the receiver.
What other improvements have you noticed? Also have you noticed any disadvantages with the new firmware?... |
I'm using the 5.1 analog outputs for audio and 1080i component for video to my 1080p 37" LCD display. I only re-watched POTO last night and the video was superb. Better than before? Hard to say. but none of the issues people have had with the video via HDMI or DVI have ever been a problem with component connection (no color space or BTB/WTW issues ever for component). My HDMI connector on my 37" LCD disply is broken.
The single S/PDIF connection you are using is not the most optimum for the new HD DVD audio codecs. It works -- but when you finally set it up in your new theater you should use HDMI or analog to get the full quality benefit.
Power up and disc play from open tray times seem to be the same for me (around 40 sec each). Response quickness to player menu selection button pushes seem to be good. Nothing worse or broken that I've noticed so far.
