only downside is the Pioneer receiver only does 1080i pass through....but the TV compensates for this just fine!

To give a glimpse of Sony's new outlook on sharing their inner workings with the world, Harrison gives an example of how they might phrase the information they release. "We could say, 'You know, we're not sure when it's coming, but we're going to have DVD up-scaling on PlayStation 3.' There you go. There's a scoop for you."

No flickering whilst playing, but as soon as I got main to the main menu (always forget the real name for it) it went batty again. Playing downloaded trailers, batty. Not sure. Will be rearranging the entire system today due to painters coming in tomorrow. Will test again later in week.

UPDATE: Flyboys input to TV was 1080p. Resistance input to TV was 720p. For some odd reason, my receiver was saying no signal and there was no sound, but picture, while on the dashboard. During that time, there was no flickering. When I played a BD and bounced back to the dashboard, the sound was back, and the flicker. Some people and a few articles have made comments about the whole sound AND video passthrough may be the reason for some of these errors, but I am unsure what to think at this point.

Hi,

Regarding our CHRONOS defective disc replacement program, we have replied to every person who has contacted our company.

I am sure if we did receive an e-mail, we would have responded. I don;t know your name, but if you write to us, we can check and see if you ever sent in a request. We do not respond to fax requests, we simply add those names to our list for replacement. SO if you sent a fax, that is why you never heard from us.

We are shipping discs with pre-paid mailers to anyone who purchased CHRONOS and is experiencing this issue.

Anyone who has received a defective disc should write to us at rcasey@rbfilms.com for instrutions on how to get a replacement.

Please note the e-mail address again: rcasey@rbfilms.com for a replacement disc.

We should have replacement product ready to ship within 7 to 10 days.

We apologize for any inclonvenience this may have caused, but this glitch invoved a PS3 Firmware update and the manufacturers of the encoders / authoring systems for Blu-ray Disc

We had no control over this and once again, aplogize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thank you.

I set mine to HDMI but under the linear audio selections for pcm there are many khz settings, which one did you use?

Film mode is a selectable feature on any other situation or connection (hd dvd, cable etc.) but when I try to enable it for blu ray movies on the ps3 on I lose the ability to select it.

It's still not enough for TV and theater projectors that can display the original YCrCb stored in BD and DVD. For example the current PS3 player lacks gradation in brighter and darker parts of pictures when compared to Panasonic DMP-BD10. The reason why the internal processing is done in RGB is because RSX can't have 2 color spaces at the same time. Honda suspects they used RGB for the player because in the prototype design they planned to overlay XMB in RGB onto the picture of BD/DVD. In the final design XMB is not overlayed onto the player.

Actually Kutaragi also ordered the development of the version with YCrCb internal processing at the final review. In the firmware version released in December [2006] it becomes possible for a user to choose RGB or YCrCb.

The current player converts interlace to progressive only for SD movies. Right now SCE developers are working to improve DVD picture quality after they implemented YCrCb. After that it's planned to do something for 1080i to 1080p conversion. Though the RAM size can be an obstacle for it, SCE developers say they can do it by splitting the load between Cell and RSX.

Currently there are complaints from users about non-existent DVD upscaling in the PS3. As for the interlace-to-progressive conversion before upscaling, the current player has it already. There was a team at the division for broadcast equipments at Sony that does research for improving image quality by using the NVIDIA shader language. They ported it onto RSX. After Cell does noise reduction and other filters, RSX does interlace-to-progressive conversion. Though the current algorithm has bugs for some video sources, SCE says the conversion precision will be upgraded by future updates. Also the noise reduction filter is currently optimized for video sources with relatively many MPEG noises recorded with a video recorder. SCE knows lack of picture details because of it and will provide new default values for noise reduction by checking recording formats and media IDs for DVD discs. As for upscaling, they are doing the research to develop a high-quality multi-tap upscaling filter that balances the load between Cell and RSX. They also plan to use the non-original luminance information generated in upscaling for HDMI 1.3 deep color.

SCE declared that they'd support 1080/24p in the PS3.

They also plan to use the non-original luminance information generated in upscaling for HDMI 1.3 deep color.
