Hi Yangxi
Remember me ? I am the guy who bought another 2 docks + hdpros from you.
My set's version is March. I followed your advise to update to May version, the menu screen became Chinese version, is that correct?
Then I restore to default setting & instal the June version last night, so far only one movie ( Blue Plannet no sound, showing 0 kph), i am not sure this is movie or player's problem as my friend's may version can play it fine.
Other movies seem ok.
Besides that, just after installed may version when the player restart itself, the was message "bad disk eject" pop up, is that something wrong with the player? 1st time encountered !( by that time I didn't unplug the usb drive) Please clarify!

My conlcusion, who are using version earlier than may, please update, the picture really improve very significantly.
details , colours, shapeness etc appear so much difference, why I know? Because I compare with my friend's same movie.

Anyway, do you still need the spoiled dock ( i found leakage inside ) return to you?

If you are happy with the performance right now then it should be fine to keep it on march version.

I personally feel that update should do, as my friend also having march version, he also realised that his friend's june version's performance in term of video quality really different !

In term of video quality improvement, I personally suggest to update.

However, I also encounter hang problem, not very sure is hard disk heat or fw problem.

I update mine from march to may & then to jun, I wonder whether i should downdate it to may version ? Still observing................

Video quality got improve? If not I may roll back to May version!

Hi everybody encounter this before ?
I bough a HD proS march~Apr version, everytime when i watch those TrueHD movie or certain 5.1 movie, the always appear "Audio data too slow" & come out no sound, for TrueHD type 100% no sound, 5.1 normally 15% no sound.
I got this claimed by Yangxi to has the board change & back to same still.......

Evertime if I want to ensure no problem on playing these file, I has to update 2011 Jan version, then everything will be fine BUT

If i turn off the power ( wall main switch ) the problem come back again

So if i need to watch these film I has to do update evertime & last until I switch off the main power nighttime, day after day practice.........

Everyone got similar experience ? & which part went wrong????

I rather expect it spoil quickly so i can change a new set but it just don't die 100%

other DTS , DTSMA , AC3 happen this problem?
Yes also, even files < 3gb
Seem like not "Unstable problem" just wonder why can not updated "permanently" to the player ( of course i checked software version shown "updated version" already )

u connect coaxial/optical to your AVR?
Coaxial to AVR
HDMI to TV

Yes , i tried yesterday, here are the sequence:

1. copy the file having problem in USB pendrive ( previously in hard disk) & play, no sound, use TV sound also no sound
2. use AVR (coaxial in) also no sound
3. use AVR TV mode also no sound

then

I update the firmware version "again", at first still no sound
It has to update "twice" ( recently ) then only no problem

After updating, either playing through hard disk or pendrive, everything ok, even those ts files with trudehd sound.

here is the file playing no sound

Really thanks a lot to PoorMan & Yangxi's help.

Anyway I followed Yangxi's advise & revert to OEMJune version seem ok ( on & off main switch), this morning I on it again looked like problem solved, but not try other files yet.

By the way I have reverted back to June version before( 20100617 non oem version ) but appear the same problem, look like only OEM version can work! ( WHY ?????????)

Bro Yangxi, is there any OEM Jan 2011 version ??

This post has been edited by httan: Mar 26 2011, 08:30 AM

Thanks a lot anyway.

I actually seek for Yangxi's help through phone many months ago & got it sent back to factory & replaced a new board & updated by factory to Sep or Nov version with problem remained, & later Yangxi advised to revert back to June version, never aware that June OEM & NON-OEM version is different ( in fact not clearly identified during the conversation ), good that problem solved.

I just a bit regret i shouldn't buy the unit too early so that I can enjoy more advance function.

Just wonder is there any OEM latest version available ???

Here I back again.........
After that day updated to June OEM2 version, it appeared no problem to play all (almost > 95%) files, I tried off the main switch & on it back the same day with no problem & on it on the second morning with no problem also.

But during the second day (night time when I back at home), the problem come back again, I need to update everytime to ensure no problem playing all file & realised that all HDMA sound totally cannot play unless restore, normal AC3 5.1 channel no problem, therefore >90% of my 6TB movie can not play.........

I don't know why it can last only over night, ONCE a WHILE only !

This is very funny unstable problem, now it make no different to restore it to OEM or non OEM version since I has to restore it every time and it would be better go for latest version say Jan 2011.

................................

Anyway, when it is no sound, I try switching from HDMI/SPDIF to dual channle, multi channel or raw, all got no sound.
But remember when you let me a temporary set (blue angel ??) during my set claim for repair, the blue angel work very fine with all files.

Here is another file with same problem:

Seem like cannot handle DTS sound ?? But my AVR support DTS..........

I am using LG50" plasma but HD ready TV only, no problem can work until the highest 1080P.

There is volume button on HD pro remove, normally I press till 25 so that U don't need to press your TV volume to so high level.

Added on March 31, 2011, 9:12 amYes back again, even change different HDMI cable, so far when it is TrueHD & DTS-MA, it couldn't be downmixed also.
There is no problem on video playing, all are audio problem.
I am using coaxial cable connecting HD pro to my AVR
