Yes, it is a short coming...There are quite a few of us who want 1080/24 for our setups...If the unit lacks something which other players have, it is usually called a "shortcoming"...and that is putting it mildly...
Wow!...the next thing you know you'll want us to go back to analog outs!...(how archaic!)...

It would be great to have the option of 1080P 24 but based on what others on avs have said but it is not going to make me get rid of the panny for a pioneer elite just so i can feel secure that it has that feature.
I am having an issue regarding the download. I checked my firmware version and it is 1.2 so I downloaded the update. I wrote the files onto a CD and loaded it into the player. I got the following message from the Panny UNSUP PORT.
Once I download the update from the Panasonic site what is the method for burning it onto a CD. I think I might be missing a step here. I appreciate the help.
Yes that's the name of the file. I don't usually burn CD's except for the occasional music CD so I'm not sure that I'm transferring the file correctly. Once I have the exe file on my hard drive how do I burn it onto the CD?

All is well downunder. I updated to 1.4 without a problem! I just used windows xp drag and drop to copy the file onto the cd writeable drive. Then i right clicked and wrote the file to the CD.
Thats 2 firmware upgrades since i've had the Panny...can't wait for DTS HD and Dolby TrueHD!!!
Although I do not own the panny is the pq better than the pioneer just at 60hz? I find it hard to believe it is better at 24hz. I know the panny does not do 24 but my display does that is why I am asking.
I have and I prefer the picture on the Panny. Not that there is anything wrong with the Elite. It is a fantastic player. The Panny, in my opinion, puts out a slightly sharper image with richer color. It is also superior at upconverting DVDs.

Panasonic assigns dedicated video processor chip for upconversion and picture quality control, while Sony and Pioneer are doing that process in the Sigma chip. If that video processor chip is not capable of output 24p, firmware update is nothing to do.
I just went out and bought a Panny from Tweeters today and I noticed mine has 1.3 version right out of the box------Has anyone else seen a 1.3 version on their player?------I have not heard of 1.3. It seems to play perfect so I'm wondering if I should bother with the 1.4?
With the addition of 24P this Panny would definitely have it all, and be King Dog!---Heck, I'm thinking it's the best player right now. I have only had it for one day and I absolutely love this thing!------
