AVS Owner's thread for the pioneer elite bdp-62fd.. - Page 6

So I got my 62 last night, and my first impression is ... I REALLY LIKE IT!!!!

I am having one issue with it, though: I set up my system (BDP-62, VSX82-TXS, and a Panasonic TC-P50G20) using the dual HDMI outs (HDMI Main into HDMI 2 on my display and HDMI Sub into HDMI 3 on my AVR). I set the HDMI setting on the BDP to Separate.

While everything plays, something in my display doesn't seem to want to latch onto the video signal coming in from the BDP. For instance, when I put in a disk, it'll play the opening screen, but each time the disk reaches a point where a different warning screen appears (you know, like the FBI and Interpol warning screens or even the main menu or going from the main menu into the movie itself), my display resets to HDMI 1. It's frustrating as all get-out.

Setting the BDP's HDMI setting to Dual corrects the problem, but I'd rather use the Separate setting.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Yeah, I'm kinda wondering about this... In particular, I'm wondering if the VSX HDMI/video output wants to take charge or trump the HDMI/video output from the BDP.

I was surprised that my display (Panasonic Viera TC-P50G20) would, once I manually selected HDMI 2, hop back to HDMI 1 whenever the scene changed (that's my current theory: scene changes cause the display on the television to switch from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2).

Weird.

Thanks.

I watched Dredd and it had major lockups. Looks like Pioneer hasn't come up with anykind of update yet.

I haven't received an other information from them since reporting Total Recall and Brave. Hopefully they address these issues quickly for us with a new firmware. It would seem that some of these new releases have some sort of different coding per se causing all sorts of hardware issues and not just with ours I really like this player otherwise.

What firmware version are you running? Hmm interesting I only have the 2D version. I was no more than 15min in and froze up. Played fine in the PS3 of course.

FWIW, my copy of Brave also froze up at the 15 min mark, as well.

I think it only happens with newly released 2D bd. I tried my copy of Dredd in 3D and it played fine.

Just sent a email to Pioneers support regaurding the issue. Anyone experiencing the the same problems hope you can find the time to do the same. So that way they know its a problem. And they can address these problems faster and give us a firmware ASAP.

FYI: the Total Recall disc is defective, not your player. Go here for info on a swap program

Bought this player and set it up, had some issues with the audio, re set to factory defaults and started over MUST setup HDMI audio out before anything to bitstream, if you don't it will default to PCM & gets greyed out where you cannot change it, Frustrating, have it set to separate, using 2 HDMI cables, great Video/Audio.

I just purchased the BDP-62 as an upgrade to a BDP-23 player. I'm very happy with the overall build quality but I've notice a problem with the synchronization between the voice and picture when the unit sends separate signals via HDMI. The video is sent via primary HDMI out to a Panasonic 65ST50, the audio signal is sent to my receiver, a Pioneer VSX-94TXH.

I've tried the sending audio both as bitstream and PCM with no affect; the picture is just slightly ahead of the voice. This seems to be true on all blueray movies, last night I watched Bourne Supremacy and really noticed it. I haven't noticed if it also occurs on SD DVD.

Is this likely a problem with the BDP-62 or more likely to be the receiver? I've downloaded the latest firmware for the receiver and plan to apply it this weekend, but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this problem when using both HDMI ports?

Thanks!

Can't say as I've only used the main HDMI port straight to the receiver. I had a 94TXH in my system and unless work for a service center downloading a service firmware was for the shop only which made it a pain to unhook, take in, or ship out for some.

I had that problem too. But I can't remember what the settings were. It was when I first bought it and I was learning the settings. Right now, I am running separate HDMI , with the 62 HDMI OUT set to PCM.

Sync is off on Bourne Supremacy. It was off on the HDDVD, so I purchased the blu-ray (latest version) and was frustrated to find it no different.

Be sure to test for sync with another title.

I think my eyes were lying to me, when I started playing around with settings it appears the sound was actually ahead of the picture, not the other way.

I went into my AVR adjustments and increased audio delay from 0 to about 1/30 of a second. That seems to have improved perceived delay but I may have to adjust it more. It seems consistent for all movies.

Regarding the firmware update, I've been able to download the latest firmware for the VSX-94 and the program to update it. Now I've just got to find a computer with a serial port on it .. they're as rare as hen's teeth nowadays.

I just picked a BDP-62FD from Best Buy last night. First disc I popped in was the new blu-ray of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The unit started to roar like an outboard motor. I chapter skipped, and the sound decreased further into the disc as the RPMs decreased, but still too loud to be acceptable. Tried a Criterion disc that played fine. Then I loaded all the Indiana Jones films in succession–they all made the same horrible noise. Lawrence of Arabia was noisy, too, but not as bad.

Can anyone try Indiana Jones in their 62 and tell me if it's just mine?

BTW, all of these discs have been, and still are, quiet in my BDP-05.

EDIT: Just put in Mad Men Season 1, disc 1. Same racket. Obviously the drive is no good.

Mine is completely quiet. Return / exchange it.

I noticed when I had mine set to 1080 24p the audio was not synced. My TV, (Sony Bravia) and Receiver (Pioneer Elite SC-55) are both capable of 1080 24p? Try turning 24p off if was previously on.

I have mine set now to 24p and there is no problem. I verified the sync with my Disney WoW disc and both bitstream and pcm are dead on. If I get the condition again, I will try to isolate it. I have a SC-55 too.

Weird pulses.

I took away the second hdmi cable and am running DUAL on the blu ray player. I get a strange annoying pulse over the speakers when turning on Anyone else?

I'm going back to two hdmi cables. It seems like some kind of handshake between the player and the receiver.

To all experiencing lock up issues........Don't connect the network cable until a new firmware is released. This is an issue that Pioneer is well aware of and is working on a fix.
