2.70 disc was actually available as early as Dec 1 but hasn't been on website all month.
new models and movies can take a while to arrive here which can be frustrating for some. I see the new Oppo 93 release for the UK has been delayed because of firmware issues
.
good luck fellows.). Certainly the lawyers aren't making sure the firmware is stable and won't "brick" the player.

firmware version for the 320 and checked Euro site which shows it as 3.70, out of curiosity I checked the Japanese site and they have 3.70 for the 320 as well as 1.70 for the 51FD.) then it would not be on the Japanese site they most definitely would not dirty their own nest., specially as the price is likely to fall when the 95 arrives (not much difference between them I gather if you only use HDMI like I do) but what does attract me and I need to replace the BD30 at some point are the two HDMI outputs (forget 3D that is a very lame and I suspect dead duck, as if we didn't know that was going to be the case).
), plus some other good features all for a reasonable price make it look pretty worth while, but no way am I going to be an early adopter, lets see how it runs for a couple of months or so. None the less it may make a successor for the 05 (LX71) I was not going to upgrade

I've burned the 1.68 version from Pioneer support. After putting the disc in and using the front controls (not the remote) the screen shows "DATA DISC". Nothing happens after that. Pushing play in an effort to start the process gives me "This procedure cannot be accomplished at this time". A call to Pioneer customer service and they tell me it must have been a bad burn to the CD-R. The will 2 day mail me the newer 1.7 version. Received the disc and attempted the upgrade. The exact same thing happened as before..."DATA DISC"...etc. I call the same folks and they tell me they suspect there was a bad batch of discs were created. They apologized and offered to express me another disc. I agreed... New disc shows up in 2 days...kudos to Pioneer. Damned if the exact same thing didn't happen. Enough I say... I've done work with the owner of Audio Concepts in N. Attleboro, MA. He offers to have his Pioneer tech take a look gratas to me...did I mention the owner is a great guy. Unfortunately, the tech (who is competent and a very decent guy as well) cannot get the update to happen either. So now he gets Pioneer dealer service on the phone (I didn't realize they are a whole different set of folks). The Pioneer tech takes the details, says he hasn't encountered the issue but offers to research this and get back with us. About 20 minutes later he calls back (we're at the store btw) and reports....drumroll...he has no clue what the heck is happening. Tells us to call customer service again and take one more shot with another disc from Pioneer...good lord! Please, does anyone have any relevant information on this "DATA DISC" that will help the situation (no guessing...I don't want to create a boat anchor). Outside of the update issue the player works fine. Also, the player has never been updated so it's runnning the original 1.02. I have the same issues with various movies mentioned, Avatar, etc. The picture is still fantastic but it's leaving me with a very bad taste for Pioneer Elite. I'm a carpenter by trade and $800 is a significant amount of money. Huge thanks in advance to anyone that can offer a solution. Dutch S. |
. I have looked at your post and some of the other suggestions made by others and one has possibly some relevance.) and I think there was one at 1.17 which might be a possible starting point. It should be possible in any case to find these earlier versions on the internet I will check Pioneer FAQ and add a link with an edit if they are on his site.
