[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 909945, member: 325666"] I think we can discount it being a firmware issue ..having checked it carries the latest firmware already. This looks more like either a piracy countermeasure ... The prime purchase in this case is the later movie and but packaged with the first and earlier movie as a discounted extra .. What surprises me is the lack of information accompanying the product ..ie ...playability requirements. Anyone with an older player receiving this in their Xmas stocking is going to be frustrated and feel cheated ..as the only way I can see around the problem ..is to go out and buy another up-to-date blu ray player.. Now ..to compond this problem ...I for example have a Denon surround sound amp.. perfectly functional ..and very expensive at the time...BUT it does not use hdmi inputs .. it being for audio only.. Thus choices are spdif optical or digital phono... and I use full 6.1 channel analogue inputs to connect to my blu ray player ... This then requires that the blue ray player has the required analogue outputs .. My older panny blu ray player has these ...but the new panny player does not. Luckily it does have spdif toslink optical ...(not all recent players have optical out - BEWARE) This is only 5.1 dts etc ...but will suffice .. In short You buy the movie ... Then realise you need to upgrade you player to enjoy it ... then realise you have to replace (upgrade) your surround sound amp to one with hdmi 1.3 inputs to get the full benefit of the multichannel audio .. You buy a movie ...and are forced to upgrade your entire system to be compliant. no legacy support. Frustrating I calls it ... OOOOO00000 it makes me maaaaddddd [/QUOTE]
