yes. but if the internal HDD is formatted with later version 2388 then u might need to reinstall the additional service pack.

p/s: to be safe please unplug your internal HDD prior to flashing / upgrading / downgrading firmware.

then in pohd under setup / audio u need to set HDMI RAW.

@soulquarianz
But without optical, how can the AVR separate the sound channels? The only HDMI connection into the amp is from TV, not the POHD itself..

duh! Better connect your POHD HDMI to AVR ... AVR to TV. And try to understand HT 101 basics. It's very simple actually ...

bro, sorry your HTIB is not capable of handling 5.1 from pohd. it will downmix to 2 channel stereo. i just ran thru the manual. suggest u get proper AVR to do this like most of us.

Wow Bro, u must get a very good deal ya . Wonderful.

So, due to many request, we also open workshop for the POHD fans. Pls register to us first ya. Don't forget to bring your name card. For lucky draw.

i was wondering does this ACRyan support BD-ISO??

just purchased a unit for myself. hehehe...

The current FW 3875 got some glitch with BD ISO. You will experience stuttering with some titles and loss of sound. BDMV got no problems.

Wait for upcoming FW next week to see if the ISO problem is fixed.

ooo icc....wat is BDMV?? BD ISO comes with True HD audio rite?? and i thought ACRyan does not support True HD audio??

btw....wat is the 1080P 24FPS under the Video Settings?? shud this be ON or OFF??

BDMV is the full Folder and File Structure extracted out from ISO. It's the same actually.

For the older POHD with the 1073DD chipset , you can play the movie from BDMV or ISO, but you won't get HD Audio of course, just Core DTS extracted from DTS-MA.

For True HD, sadly you won't get any sound. Fortunately, True-HD titles are much less compared to DTS-MA titles.

But since you newly bought your POHD unit, chances are it's using the new 1073DD C+ chipset. This means it can handle HD Audio, but the problem is will AC Ryan be willing to pay for the license to enable it in future FW? That's the Big question.

As for the 24fps feature, your TV must support 24FPS in order to play at that framerate. Don't turn that on if your TV does not support.
