This is not a software limitation. It is hardware related. So no full 3D BD untouched on all PCH Series. The first Sigma Chip capable of this is the 8910 afaik.

Frontpanel does show this while playback:

Great all I need now is a C300

[jonthomasdesigns]

When is a A-300 Update coming ? I thought the A-300 was going to get Updates first then then C-300 (i Understand some/most of these fixes are for the BD Disc playback)

You answered your own question didn't you?

They can't launch a disc player and then leave it not playing discs just because they should release something first on A300.

Anyway where does it say that the A300 will get firmwares first?

It has in the past been the first model in the new series however just because it happened like that in the past does not mean things are always like that, for example we don't know if, where, or when we will or will not be having any beta testing of any 300 firmwares.

[Renaud]

I'll post the same question in the bug section as soon as I have the permission to create a new thread there but since it's directly related to the latest C300 firmware update I'll just do it here as well.

I updated to the latest C300 firmware today through the WIFI connection provided by the MN-200 wifi card. After the device rebooted with the new version, it took me a while to realize I no longer had internet access through the WIFI card. It is no longer detected in the network menus of the C300, I tried reverting to the previous firmware with no success.

Is it a known issu with the latest firmware? Is it software or hardware related?

Thanks.

[Mr_Popcorn]

Where can i change language mistakes in the firmware. When i update my database the (Dutch) text; Database aan het conroleren - is wrong.
It should be; Database aan het conTroleren.

Werner: Are these instructions for the C-200 valid on the C-300 ?? Are the Remote controle codes the same or does it work another way ?
