*** The LG BH100 HD Super Multi Blue Player *** official owner's thread - Page 30

I am sure that the other BLU-Ray player manufactures would be annoyed with LG including the Blu-Ray association also at this time, because of the stipulated BLU-RAY profile guide lines as far as BD region zoning not being abided by in regards to LG players. These ZONING guide lines must be abided by "all" Blu-Ray Player manufactures which of corse sucks!!!!....

thanks, i discovered that after i had submitted the post, cant decide whether to import via ebay or buy in the uk and pay more

The warranty will likely be affected using a 100v model (i.e - North America) in a 220v country (i.e - the UK) and you also have to mess around with a voltage converter too.

That's why I decided to go with a BH200 from Europe (Belgium to be exact as they're virtually impossible to buy in The UK).

I just received my region B movie "Breaking and Entering" and it plays on my Region A
DEC 2006 BH100 bought new in the USA. So it seems this player is BD region free right out of the box. I do not have a pal region 2 SD DVD to test.

I just got this player a few days ago. I was watching "The Pianist" on HD DVD, and the picture seemed only barely better than a standard DVD picture. Is this the movie, or is HD DVD picture quality on this player lower than the average HD DVD player? I also plan to update to the most recent firmware soon - will that improve the picture quality, and will it make the menus in HD DVD movies work correctly? Thanks -

I have found both HD-DVD and BLU-RAY play back spot on with this player but if the movie is not the best quality then the picture will suffer. Even if you update the BH100 to the latest firmware the basic menu structure will still be the same for HD-DVD playback. If you read the first few posts you will see that LG use there own menu to get around the HD-DVD licencing requirement's....

Is there a list anywhere of all the updates that are included in the most recent firmware, which is BH01-080229a? Also, is blu-ray and hd dvd playback on the player top notch overall?

Also, any tips for dealing with the neutered menu features on HD DVDs ?

I love my Bh100 and so do many others. Person99 is a very very very picky guy and argues a lot with every one on every thing, needless to say i was suprised he liked my recomendation to get this player read this : Dave Loves his LG BH100!! read down about 15 posts.

cool, i'm loving it so far (just not the HD DVD lack of menu functionality). My tv will only accept up to a 1080i signal - is there a reverse pulldown feature in this player that will simulate the 24 fps?

the audio setup on this player is pretty damn archaic. So I have mine hooked up to a standard Sony 5.1 system that supports Dolby Digital and DTS. When I do the audio test in the player's audio setup, only the front left, front right, and center speakers register. Is this normal that this is glichy like this? And choosing 48hz or 96hz is kind of bizarre also... help!

It's been confirmed by an LG Engineer models prior to and up to January 2006 (I think that's the date) had the second HDi transport disabled (for licensing reasons) but if it was enabled it would work.

It's not known how to enable it though. I forget the details but check for post from me in this thread. I posted it in here somewhere.


It shouldn't be, check the manual for your amp to see if it supports 96Khz. If it does enable it, if it doesn't don't. I'd guess it does as the analogue feed will be sending the signal straight to the speakers.

My Sony STR-DB940 receiver supports up to 192Khz (maybe more) so I enable it, on my BH200.

Were improvements made to the picture quality on the BH200? I'm not complaining about the picture quality at all (though I can't decide if HD DVD playback looks better or worse than my Toshiba HD-A2). Just curious.

Thanks to you guys I now have a BH100 to go with my BD-UP5000. I decided for my bedroom that I certainly didn't need CD playback and all of the HD DVD menus, etc. and it seems LG has done a decent job of keeping this player up to date.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Any one tried to play National Treasure 1 BLU-RAY,the movie would just hang on the loading screen (bullet thing's) I then upgraded the firmware to the newest 080229 = 29/02/08 but no luck.I then tried A different Disney BLU-RAY (cronicals of NANIA) which played no problems.This is the first HDM disk that has not played in my BH100 ..... just to add that National Treasure 1 played on my Australian model panisonic BD30 with firmware 1.3 the newest avalable....

a couple questions for you BH100 veterans:

1. some menus for blu-ray movies are in mega slow-motion, almost like they're about to freeze up. was this fixed on the BH200? I have the newest firmware.

2. Does 3:2 reverse pulldown work on blu-ray and hd dvd movies?

hi i have a usa LG BH200 player and i download the hack file and put it on a cd and did the hack fine just on the player for it to be region free for standard DVDS. i followed the steps from the begining of the thread and even checked the region setting and said 0 but when i put in a region 2 disc from europe it still says disk error. i tried a region 4 disc as well and same thing is there something else that i need to do ?

After you ran the RMTM Hack. Did you check what the region is, in the system info menu? If that still says R1 it won't work.

What was the error? It could be because your TV doesn't support PAL. I'm presuming you're North American based? the RMTM hack doesn't enable PAL support, you need to use one of the EEPROM codes to do that.

Hello again. Some additional info from me. First, I checked if the player works with regA BD on a "live free or die hard" and it didn't work with wrong region message. so mine was definitely not BD region free out of the box. then I returned the disc and never tested it after. then I applied the RMTM hack, and received the "reservoire dogs" region A disc (on the cover it says region 1). it works, it dosn't work on a sony (region mismatch message). so it should be multiregion, but in the system summary it says - region 0 DVD and region B BD. today I received my 3 foxes - and they don't play (X-men wrong region message, the day after tomorrow and fantastic four silver surfer ask to download newer software. after changing the EEPROM from 82 to 80 BD region in the system summary changed to A, DVD region stayed at 0, X-men work now, but the DVD playback for region 2 has been affected (check disc msg). region 1 dvd work fine. after the update I will tell you more. cheers

what was your build date again?

Can someone answer? I've also noticed that the audio frequently gets screwed up after you pause?

I havnt noticed that in a long time. But if it happens rewind a bit then start again that usually re sync's it.

Athanasios

thanks - can you answer these questions?


1. some menus for blu-ray movies are in mega slow-motion, almost like they're about to freeze up. was this fixed on the BH200? I have the newest firmware.

2. Does 3:2 reverse pulldown work on blu-ray and hd dvd movies?

And now confirmation - after applying the newest firmware all foxes are playing (given the 80 in EPROM, with 82 they cause wrong region message on fox screen). the DVD region 2 do not play still (although it is region free for DVD when 82 is in EEPROM).

anyone else have glitchy audio in AvP: Requiem? It pops every once in a while, and it's frozen up twice for me..... I am running the newest firmware..

When I played AVP 2 Blu-Ray it played flawlessly with my BH100 @24p, I have never experienced Audio glitches only Audio delay once....

Why would the audio be glitchy for me then? bad disk?

Thought id share a screen shot of my LG Bh100. Lg BH100>lumagen HDQ VP>Moome HDMI card for my 1995 Electrohome Marquee 8500 at 1080p48MHz on a 12 foot screen.

Hello,

I have a chance of getting an LG BH100 from the USA which is missing the remote. I can source a cheap remote in the U.K.

My question is will the UK LG remote designed for the BH100 work with the U.S player as their model numbers are slightly different, i.e

U.S.A one is - AKB32293201

U.K one is - AKB32293203

(last digit is different)

thanks in advance

Neil

Is there some place where I can get a replacement cleaning cloth, like the one that came with my BH-100? Does anybody know what kind of cloth that is?

David

The UK remote should work with the US BH100....
