ask the reviewer if the sacd has a .1 channel encoded, as this would be the only way he'd be getting anything from the sub in "pure direct" mode...

Chris, could you please clarify?

unlike previous blue ray players which could use a USB wifi adaptor like the AS-WL200

the reason the AS-WL300 connects to the ethernet and USB is that the USB supplies power.

there was some very slim hope that a USB dongle might work, even though Chris said it wouldn't, since the meditek 8555 chip set claims to have support for ethernet - although that feature would have to be enabled and would require some degree of software support

The BDP-53FD adds two HDMI outputs for separate video and audio with Pure Audio mode, Marvell video processing which eliminates 480i mode, DTS downmix, an extra blue light, and a heavier base. SACD can be output as DSD bitstream or PCM at 88.2 KHz. You need to aim the remote precisely in order for it to work correctly. The disc mechanism might be a little quieter than the BDP-52FD. In case you're wondering, I am keeping the BDP-53FD because of the MediaTek MT8555, Pioneer's PQLS, and the Marvell video processing. Who knows what might get added as new firmware updates are released. Even if nothing gets added, I'm happy with the combination of the MT8555, PQLS, and Marvell.

if it is an ethernet message than simply going to a wireless bridge will NOT help you out as that message will still get to the VSX-1120

the only thing I can think of is that you would need to put one or the other behind a router and disable UPnP forwarding - and that assumes it is a UPnP message that is causing the problem

however, doing that will create issues if you want both player and receiver to see the same DLNA server

however, what i would want to do first is put the VSX-1120 and BDP-440 on an ethernet hub with nothing else and capture all the traffic with an ethernet packet sniffer up until the VSX-1120 recycled

in summary, i don't think the wireless bridge is the answer to your problem

it is either going to be Pioneer issuing a fix or for you to take it upon yourself and find out what the offending message is and probably getting a router to keep it from getting to the VSX-1120

Just got my 53FD tonight. Everything seems to be fine except the network connection. It can acquire the IP address via DHCP but the intetnet connection test failed. I can ping the unit with anoter computer that is on the same subnet. But the unit cannot goto the internet. I have checked the information page. It seems the IP address/getway/DNS server are all fine. More over the unit will hang after a while. It will not respond to any command on the remote. Pressing the keys on the front panel does not work either. I have to power cycle the unit by unplugging it.

If I do not plug it into the network, everything seems to be fine. Play out bluray/CD/SACD are all working fine.

I am very frustrated. Anybody have tested the 53FD network functionality?

I have checked there is no firmware update yet.
